Does anybody need LEV50 cells to refurb an old pack? I have a bunch that I pulled from a 2012 at 65,000 kms a few years ago. They have been in temperature-controlled storage and maintained at a good storage voltage. I've sold my car and no longer need to hang onto them. Located near Toronto...

This is the first I've read of a liquid-cooled swap. Do you have a link to a post with more details? It seems like it would add a lot of complexity. I'm also wondering about DC fast charging since the car in stock form uses AC-chilled air for battery cooling. Andrew

I haven't yet found an economic source for a MiEV power box. I expect there are quite a few collecting dust. If I could get my hands on one for under $500, I'd be willing to roll the dice. I think leafs were bi-directional capable for the 2013 model year. Andrew

Has anyone tested the MiEV Power Box on a North American spec Outlander or MiEV? I'm wondering if the car will communicate with the unit. I'm looking to buy one with a view to hacking it for 120V 60Hz. Might be as simple as changing the oscillator and adding an output transformer. This...

I have a set of new control arms for the AUS/EU/Japan i-MiEV for sale. Andrew

A head's up for anyone in North America: Mitsubishi USA no longer stocks the 4013A296 (left) control arms and cannot get them from Mitsubishi in Japan. You have no choice but to rebuild them. 4013A297 (right) are still available. After my order, Mitsubishi Canada now has two sets remaining in...

I purchased a set of worldwide control arms by mistake (I have a North American model and they are different). The control arms were installed briefly to confirm that they do not fit, then removed. They are in new condition. For sale as a pair. I'll take best offer and will ship anywhere in the...

So my mechanic installed everything today. Apparently I have the incorrect control arms. The control arms I ordered are ARM ASSY,FR SUSP,LWR RH Genuine Mitsubishi (4013A046) 4013A292 and ARM ASSY,FR SUSP,LWR LH Genuine Mitsubishi (4013A045) 4013A291 The parts are 40320AL and 40320AR on the...

I will be undertaking this replacement next week, along with a control arm replacement because my lower control arm bushings are also shot. I ordered parts from Amayama.com. They were delivered promptly to a friend in the USA who will be muling them into Canada for me. Unfortunately, Japan post...

Over a year later and the second set of replacement bushings are still good. Andrew

I took the parts diagram to my mechanic (https://www.amayama.com/en/catalogs/mitsubishi/i/1-hatchback-right-2006-1247/transmission-and-chassis-2/front-susp-strut-spring-1154) and we ordered everything from 40002 up. I also ordered control arm assemblies instead of just bushings. The cost...

It looks like there has been success finding a substitute for rear shocks. Any success for front struts? Andrew

I've got some front end noise on my 2012. My mechanic said to source lower control arm bushings and strut mounts. I found the control arm bushings here: https://febestparts.com/ MAB-DA1 $15.95USD FRONT BUSHING, FRONT CONTROL ARM MAB-066 $21.95USD REAR BUSHING, FRONT CONTROL ARM Any idea...
