Looks like a Damien McGuire special. GS450H and an i3 charger. The 240z is the enemy of my Opel GT. When the 240z came out, it buried the GT. Very similar styling, similar small size and light weight, but a trunk that actually opens and a back seats rather than a shelf the size of rear seats with no...

I like how you label your bins directly. Not on a label, no, right onto the bin. Because you're a realist. You know that the bin will never be repurposed. That would imply that the purpose of a bin that holds things, is for the things in the bin to eventually be removed from the bin and used. No no,...

How are you so much smarter than the rest of us?

Obviously I withdraw my vote in favor of this suggestion.

everything before that seems like some sort of "thinking out loud"? Everything I say is just me thinking out loud :P I am not trying to be rude I am just trying to decipher what your intent is... You talked about what you might want to do with various analog gauges. You talked about how t...

That said a forum isn't quite comparable to email as you can click on a partial quote and it'll take you to the full original post. Also the quoting is more visually explicit than ">". Yeah, my point was just "People are idiots even on subjects where they are expected to not be idiot...

Besides, am I the only one who is "triggered" by posts containing 50 lines of (pretty random) quote and 1 line of reply? When I was a kid, our elderly internet forefathers taught us manners and etiquette. "Pretend it was paper and you were having to write it out by hand, that's how m...

well sh!t, I guess now I'm an influencer Well, there's two times in your life when a guy might be living with his mother. One is when he's young and hasn't become a man, and the other is when his mother is elderly and needs taking care of. The good news for your mother is, now that you're an influe...

I've been told by Artur that the Camry is closer to the Lexus GS450h That would be a Camry inverter spinning a GS450H motor. I think he means use the Prius inverter to spin a Camry transaxle, as the transaxle is more powerful than the Prius one and we're limited by motor power not inverter power. ....

To state the obvious, the point of a gauge is to display useful information to the driver. Not just to display things, there's a reason we display things. If you consider the speedometer to be the #1 gauge for information the driver can use, the tach was probably #2. The Tach tells the driver the RP...

Hate this change. Hate this kind of thing. And who with a cell phone these days can select text? At least the old quote button sort of works for them too. It might be better, but it's less intuitive, and at this point there's 25 years history of knowing what a quote button does. You have to gain big...

I almost quoted that.

Also you're too quick, I was busy adding more info to my previous post.

It will be simpler than gen3, purely because once the psd on gen 2 is welded both mg1 and mg2 will spin as the same speed and more evenly contribute torque to the reduction gears, You two posts here sum up YEARS worth of various threads that I've never been able to keep track of and that no one has...

Well the 2nd gen Chargers command many bucks for basically a vin tag and half a firewall, so it'll be a while. Recently saw a video of just that, vin and, not even a firewall, the rest is rotted, no frame, would fall to pieces if you took it off the moving dolly it's on. ... $21,000. https://youtu....

Whelp... Parts arrived. The opamp was waaaay smaller than I was imagining. Clumsy chisel-tipped soldering iron. Need a gameplan. It'll go something like this... https://mattsawesomestuff.com/Projects/Vehicles/Opel/Opel%20Current%20Sensors%2005.jpg ... except the opamp is 25% the size and the resisto...

I'd chip in a couple bucks to a GoFundMe specifically for the purposes of trolling southerners with that sacrilege. Or a My Little Pony Harley or y'know, anything else. Don't let your dreams be dreams.

I know a guy (Filip Kossakowski) who is an engineer at Bosch automotive in Poland. He was developing and testing ibooster gen2. I think the best way to know info about preloading is to ask him. I'll try again. ... I would absolutely abusively take advantage of this relationship. Kidnap and interrog...

Today I discovered that the master cylinder is preloaded about 1 mm by default without any power being applied to the ibooster. So it means that preloading the push rod isn't a bad idea. It has a little free play which is needed for the calibration of the travel sensor. That would be excellent info...

You will probably never find a battery under the car. When a car arrives to Pick N Pull they process it before it hits the yard. That means they drain all the fluids (including often puncturing the main rad hose with a V-shaped awl rather than disconnecting it, letting you buy 3 of them each which l...

I think Snowdog used a PRND from a Honda Odyssey.



Just the middle part pops out. Maybe that'd be useful to you?

Phase II - the plan 1000 miles already? Damnit. I remember last summer when I was racing you to whoever had the first rolling fire hazard. I'm still not mobile.

Pick N Pull is getting pretty gougey lately. Their prices on some stuff has tripled in the last 3 years. North of the border here we're getting a deal, it's only $1 CAD to get in, that's like, $0.65 USD. They have these tablets where you have to sign a waiver every time you go in, and it takes your ...

I don't mean to sound harsh but I don't trust a YouTube video for info. I take sourceless info with a 55 gallon drum of salt. Well, the guy spent 7 months reverse engineering the iBooster CAN protocol and sells brake-by wire kits with his own replacement controller. I think he probably understands ...

Are you grabbing the power steering assist too? It's ... so... much... work... To get to the controller it's basically the last thing you'd take out after disassembling the entire dash right to the firewall. Might as well take the A/C stuff, compressor, evaporator, HVAC box. He'll have the dash apa...

If the ibooster is maxed out you can't push the brake pedal any further. If it's limiting brake master cylinder or pedal travel it's an obstruction and dangerous. This makes sense. However... https://sghinnovations.com/product/ibooster-controller-ecu/ He claims in the video here that 40mm travel is...

It's worth pointing out right about now, that the Gen3 Prius is like 20% more powerful than the Gen2. As is every generation than the previous. And, I keep forgetting whether the Gen2 or Gen3 transaxle is easier to use. I don't think you do the same thing to each one to enable it for EV-only use. I ...
