3 pro tips when buying a cool car long distance
1 Do extensive research beforehand
2 Build trust in car & seller
3 Embrace risk and YOLO
In the last few years, I’ve sold four collectible cars that the buyer either had shipped across the country or flew in from far away to drive home. This video summarizes what I’ve learned about the buying and selling process for a collectible vehicle long distance.

    Feels like question 12 was the correct verdict but not the precise reasoning. It deploys more electric power, but if it does not regenerate more as well, you would be depleting much faster than you got charge back. So the true cause of that increase in economy is not because you deployed more power (that is a symptom), but because you must have regenerated at a higher power and thus more of the deceleration was shoved back into the battery and not lost in the brakes. Side benefit, higher deployment allows the engine to stay in lean burn more often, which I am told makes a big difference to consumption too. If either or both explanations are correct, then as a prospective buyer, that gives me some confidence about this upgrade working exactly as intended.

    • @gray25xt
      @gray25xt 3 дня назад

      Two thoughts....ONE it does regenerate more with the current hack, and since the vast majority of LiBCM customers add the current hack, that is the norm....TWO regenerating power back is not an issue in terms of economy because one can grid charge to full battery at any time or after any drive.

    It looks like your Insight has an extra bushing on the outside of your transmission mount. It’s a big black O-ring looking thing on the exhaust side of the mount. Is that an additional piece that you put in or did later models of insights have that? I have a 2001 CVT.

It is impossible. It will always be a subjective moving target. Therefore when comparing one tank to another with different modifications like I am, the most objective fixed constant accurate data is the digital computation the car offers.
