Thanks for the info, that's really helpful. I think I'll go the DIY route, I'm currently looking at places that sell Sodium Ion cells, so far I've found 75Ah cells that seem good, they can be discharged at 3C continious so I think this should be plenty. I'll also look to include a balance...

Hi Terry, I'm also looking to replace the lead-acid battery in my MG4 with something a little more modern. I was planning on buying a few LFP cells, I found some 32aH prismatics that looked like they would work. I'm happy enough to put them in a safe and wire up the BMS also, I've done similar...

Hi, there's some good info in the thread you iinked, thanks for pointing me in the right direction :)

I'm looking to possibly replace my SLA 12V battery with a LiFePO4 version. However some of these batteries have limited charging current, for example some of them can only charge at 50A. Has anyone measured or does anyone know what the typical and max charging current is while the 12V battery...

Nice, thanks, that one looks good. It looks like goes into a low power mode when the car is switched off, so shouldn't drain the 12V battery too much when powered off

I'd go for the Primacy tyres myself, they may be a little more expesive, but I found them to be less noisy

Hi, can I ask what ODB2 adapter you are using as there seem to be quick a few out there. They range from £7 - £70, I would just like a no frills one that works

If you make / use some test videos at various resolutions, you may be able to figure out this info. It could get a little complex with moire patterns, etc. so this isn't for everyone, just a suggestion :) Other options include using a microscope and counting pixels, again not for everyone ;)

Perfect, thanks. I have now ordered some replacement 4ohm tweeters, and should also already have a few capacitors already on order to give a similar low pass filter to the originals. Fitting will be the tricky bit as the ones I've ordered have a rather large faceplate, I may need to do a little...

Hopefully dark mode will be added to v2 at some point, I miss it also!

In the stock sound setup, does anyone know the crossover point of the tweeters? I'm looking into a possible tweeter only upgrade, but I don't want to get some that can only handle 3KHz and up if the stock setup is crossed over at 2KHz for example I don't really want more SPL, but I find the...

Can I ask, what tyres do the Xpower come with from the factory? My trophy model came with Conti's and so far they've been fine, no vibration at all up to 70mph, however I'm on 17" rims and I believe some models now come with 18's. If it was a wheel/tyre balance issue, I expect it to get worse...

I did this, just be careful not to run over your phone! :D

Nice to see it's in production. Is there any word of rough specs yet, such as dimensions, weight, power of the RWD model?

It would be interesting to do some testing measuring pressures at different points of the car with and without spoilers fitted.
