Twenty years ago I bought this 1987 Toyota Le Van or Space van, started a restoration, got another one for parts, then life got in the way and the little van sat in a driveway or under a carport, in a warehouse or a storage park and now under the lean-to of my newly build workshop. I need to get back into it, I need the space, I could use the vehicle every day.

I have a couple new Ultium 102kWh packs from a Cadillac Lyriq/GM Blazer and I was wondering if anyone has any info on the wireless BMS system that this is supposed to use. Ideally I would like to try to interface with it as the factory intended but I know the chances of that is really slim and I may have to open it up and install a normal BMS.

Hey all, Just wanted to share a quick story and maybe help someone else avoid a mistake. I was looking at a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee last week looked great, low miles, clean title (according to the seller). I asked for the VIN and did a free check using NICB. Boom it was flagged as a salvage title from Florida. Seller said he “didn’t know” and then ghosted me.

The action impacts 492,145 Explorers from the 2016 and 2017 model year, due to an issue that could cause exterior trim pieces to fly off while driving. The recall covers a problem that could cause trim pieces to detach from the B-pillar.

I want to take these 2.6kw 16s chrysler pacifica battery modules and turn them into modular packs using I think an ANT 8-20s relay bms and a big contactor. The idea being they will be a fully enclosed package with a big positive and negative, along with some simple control level wires. Everything will be isolated so that they can be put in series. So then I can take them and run two in series, or 4 in series parallel, with the idea being they are swappable like a power tool battery.

Auto enthusiasts can find almost anything to complain about, but that bellyaching doesn’t always get results. That said, Ram heard the chorus of doubts about its decision to nix the Hemi V8 in new trucks and is reviving the engine options for the 2026 model year.

I’ve always loved Karmann Ghias and they’ve always been near the top of my list for conversions. This donor was too good of a deal to pass up. The previous owner stripped it down to the chassis, did all of the restoration work, got it dipped and primed, and then got a divorce and had to sell it. Whole thing for $3000. Body is in pristine shape, comes with all new lights, window rubber, alloy wheels, wire harness and more.

Sometimes, an otherwise fun-to-drive vehicle can be spoiled by its packaging. So it goes with the 2025 Alfa Romeo Tonale. I've been on record before as saying that the "lesser" version of the Tonale -- the Dodge Hornet -- is preferable with the non-hybrid powertrain. This is because the gasser feels more spritely and lighter, and you don't need to give up much, if at all, in terms of creature comforts and features.

Hi All, Here is my Stock EVC project - first, 'Stock EVC' means I'm ONLY replacing the ICE engine and ANYTHING that feeds it. So, all fuel, obviously, power steering pump, radiator (at least in size), etc., etc., etc. The line of demarcation is the bellhousing - from the bellhousing back through the power train (and forward from the transfer case to front diff) - all stock and NOT upgraded or touched.
Porsche is preparing to release its Cayenne EV in the next year or so, but that didn’t stop it from taking the car out in secret to a hillclimb meet, where it utterly destroyed the previous course record previously held by a 12-cylinder Bentley Bentayga.
Ever the purveyor of cars with outsized personalities, MINI has added even more customization options this year. Actually, if we’re being pedantic, the term ‘customization’ shouldn’t really apply to anything a customer can spec from the factory. A true custom springs forth from one’s own garage or Ramone’s place in the movie Cars. Semantics aside, MINI is offering numerous new ways to at least set one’s car apart from the others on display in a showroom.
