[DRIVING] 1984 Voltswagen Rabbit Prius Gen 3 ZOMBIE

[Gregski]

so I thought it was the Parking Pawl causing that click clock noise

[Gregski]

well it was one of them days

I decided to drop the transaxle, so naturally first I had to either grow a third arm, make some friends, or invent the Soloist 7000

[MattsAwesomeStuff]

well it was one of them days

Let's power up on the power of anger!

Considering they were LA based and the amount of fan camios, there's a non-zero chance you're in that video somewhere :p

Turns 25 this year. There are married people with graduate degrees were born after this song came out. On review, was it this cringe back then? Ugh. *considers turning his cap forward at least 50% of the time*

Just tell me to stop vandalizing your thread whenever...

Happy to report the problem has been fixed, I will leave the technical explanation to the masters.


Toyota Prius Open Transaxle Motor Action

with the transaxle out I thought it was as good a time as any to make some things black (after making them red)

I luv this primer

I wanted to hang these up to cure in the garage, but the wife insisted I move them into the formal dining room, while she's on Girls Weekend Out !

[Gregski]

I also managed to get the Paint Booth inside the Rabbit

nailed the color match

"Gentlemen, let me tell you a story. A story about a path of least resistance."

*proceeds to not tell a story at all*

...

Damnit Greg, that was a parable, not a story, and the parable was the non-telling of the story, by the story itself being so much the path of least resistance that you didn't even bother to tell the story at all! You just gave it a title and left it to drift in the river, like Jochebed to her baby Moses. And what are we your audience supposed to be? The naked Egyptian princess bathing in the river, to take your story right into the Pharaoh's household?

Well I never.

VW MK1 Outlander Battery Charger Install DIY EV Part I

There is enough space to put 2x OBCs there...
I tried to command two chargers by transmitting CP PWM signal... and it worked!
You could get yourself two phase charging... or 6kW single phase if you connect them to your AC fuse.

There could be a problem with charger report or DCDC feedback signal. This is why i only used one DCDC.

[arber333]

Here you could observe how i managed to install Outlander OBCs.

I used OEM mont points on the sd o the charger. I made several mounts and then pressed/adjusted them so i could simply bolt them to the car sheet metal. I used 3 mounting points just because plain level is described by 3 points...
You could even make a bar which would cross the empty space over the top of the charger and use it as 2 point mount. Then you could use another point from the sides...

First motor spin... [again]






always, sometimes, bench test first

the battery module is from a 2018 BMW 530e (same as the 330e)

throttle pedal is from a 2010 Honda Fit (cause I thought maybe the Prius one was whack, but turns out it is fine)

Oh what a happy Easter it will be.

Why, on Friday we thought she was dead. But on Sunday she rose again, and performed miracles for all to see!

Great work here, have just stumbled across your build..
For this spin up, think was a mention somewhere of changes made by forum folks.
Wondering if still using 2.05a code, or a mod to it?

[rstevens81]

There is a mod in the works (not by me Damian and others) that's going to fix the issues, so rather than potentially adding a bug and have an accident and the bad publicity that might be causes it would be prudent to wait for the fix.

Yes I am still using 2.05A with a change to a parameter called tmpmmax = 300

I posted this specific issue under the OEM Specific Topics where some of the developers have chimed in
