Lots of good stuff here. There's a nice sponsor-tier aside from Jay around 17m where he makes the claim Michelin makes the roundest tires. He claims his techs have to apply fewer weights when wheels are balanced with Michelins vs. any other brand. Jay has had a few tires mounted in his lifetime so it's an interesting claim for sure.

Also if I twittered I would try twittering him a message that Tire Rack still offers tire shaving. Have used it myself.

In the side profile the greenhouse is almost 911-like. I wondered what it would look like with similar proportions.



It kind of looks like a new 356.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

Everything you did there is amazing.

I've always had worries about a car's nannies making this sort of thing not work. Did you do research, or did you get lucky?

Thanks guys -- this project has exceeded expectations with how fun it was do build, drive and people's reactions.

LUCKY -- and as no one else had done this, there wasn't much research to be done. But really it just thinks it's driving down hill, so it's not like it's really doing anything too weird. I turn stability control off (as it would freak out with mid corner throttle application) and after that never felt any intrusion on the street, but I found on the track it would still do some auto braking when I was entering corners hard, so the yaw sensor is going to get yanked before my next lapping day.

The thing that I actually did get the most lucky with was the Lexus's rear ABS wheel sensors and tone wheels were plug (well, cut and solder) and play which means the car has a fully working ABS system. This is important as without ABS working it won't do ANY regenerative braking, which is a requirement to do charge sustaining. Running total loss on the EV side and having to charge all the time would suck.

Does it do regen braking well? And, if it does, do you regen as the bike's motor is pushing?

Absolutely spectacular project, and the google album is a hell of a ride in and of itself! (For those that didn't go to his OP: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1...HcydTYzcVFRcGx3 )

Yes, regen braking works. It will regen while just cruising with the bike motor pushing it along, when you have the leaf system set to B or Eco mode. That can be further adjusted by the blend/boost knob.

Always like to shout out Youtubers who have a ton of vids out there and what seems like a tiny view count.
I've only watched a couple of his videos about some of his boat restorations, but I thought it was entertaining. He's not the most skillfull or knowledgeable, but seems like a decent bloke.
https://www.youtube.com/@ADDvanced
I guess he's splitting his channel into "other" stuff like boats and snowmobiles, and car stuff.
Car stuff is on https://www.youtube.com/@addvancedgarage/

I am digging that he's working on a 1986 Civic SI, which was a dream car for 16 year old me.
