Firstly it's a 106 which is normally on 120v Ni-Cd , i've got 36 Li-Co cells which sit at about 136v but in this cold weather their sagging down to 100 or maybe less - difficult to say as the car isn't on the road yet , I'm currently fitting a heating system to the cells , does anyone know the targe...

My (Li-Co) cells sag and this puts the eco light / system on making the reduced power worse - any way to fool the system would be handy ?
The other queery is when the Energy meter is low or on zero does the standard controller restrict power ?

Hello Ed, i've been following this thread - have a look and let us know what you think ? http://www.diyelectriccar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64827&highlight=zivan+programming Alternativly i'm sure you know you could get in touch with Gareth at Electrofit Zapi and arrange to have it done.

Hi Mart, Some interesting information in there. I have to say I would like to eek out a little bit more power at higher speeds and to remove the 25% SOC speed limiting as well. I have to say I am temped to make a trip to yours to see what the configuration is for my car in comparison to yours. Matt...

Martin(I prefer Mart).

I think this thread might be of interest to some members as i believe my car has improved since i have made quite a few changes from the attachment below which is a full spreadsheet of standard settings , but this is a potential minefield and you might end up with a dead car - only consider tweaking...

Similar - looks like they did a good job - i bet it will last longer than the original as those clutch centers take a lot of punishment.

I would probable look at cutting and turning both pieces and then welding them together , not sure until i've got it in front of me might change my mind depending on the hardness of the clutch center.

I think Matt was lucky and managed to get the last one off the shelf at ECC , At the time i suggested he get an old clutch plate center and get someone to repair his old coupler with it and if he couldn't find anyone to do the job then send it to me , I'm happy to do the same for you if your stuck.
