Re: TooQik's Celica
Sorry for the delayed reply.
Unfortunately it's still on my to-do list, as life keeps getting in the way.
If nothing else, it's a good self discharge test for the batteries.

I know you're not in Victoria, but I've just had a read of both the Vicroads website and the Victorian Road Safety Regulations, Lane Splitting is illegal here but Lane Filtering is okay. Lane Splitting is defined as passing between vehicles moving at high speed. Lane Filtering is defined as passing ...

Are you saying to look for the commutator hitting the brush holder near your yellow circle? I was yes, but if you didn't find any unusual marks on the brush holders then it's possibly not an issue, although you did mention the brush holders seemed a bit squashed...is this normal? The cautious part ...

I'll be interested to see what caveats / regulations are put on the Tango in Australia. Given the 4 point harness and roll cage I would expect that a helmet would also be required for road use. Curious to know how much extra force a side impact would have on the driver given the extra intrusion bars...

Tyres??
Having the same tyres on the front and back is more of a personal choice than a safety issue.
Having the same tyres on each axle is a safety issue though ie. make sure you have matching tyres on front left and front right, and make sure you have matching tyres on the rear left and rear right.

Any one know off hand the part numbers for the matching connector?
If it's the same as the UP30 then the connector should be a Yazaki 7283-5575-10 or equivalent.

Yes, it's sad to see some politicians using this to push their own anti-renewable agendas when it's pretty clear that the energy source is irrelevant to the issue.

Quite a few mention that they are only for supplementary use. ie cars with poor vacuum. This is why I went for the UP30. To quote from Hella's website: "These pumps are able to supply the necessary vacuum independent of the engine technology. The UP30/32 supplies a vacuum to the brake booster,...

Is there any particular reason you've ruled out the Toyota Camry Hybrids? You can potentially get one cheaper than either the Prius or Outlander, depending on which particular model you go for, and while you lose two seats when comparing it to the Prius V you gain towing ability of up to 300 kg.

I wanted the larger UP30 over the UP28 and couldn't find one second hand, albeit I didn't spend a lot of time looking.
The UP28 seems to be used a lot in vehicles, while the UP30 is harder to find.

I'm kind of in two minds whether to have a permanent precharge circuit for the chargers or not.

The Brusa manual definitely states the charger DC outputs needs to be precharged. I can't copy the section unfortunately, but here's a link to the requirements from the Metricmind website:
