    Just got into an accident...

    Looks like chevy has a casting issue that can't take the added weight in the back plus shear, thats kinda scary if we go putting these things thru turns at higher speed with sticky tires.

    Fake noise maker

    Found the fake noise maker you can barley see it looking straight down behind 12 volt battery under hood. To access turn front wheels to the right 1st, then go in front of the drivers side front wheel between wheel and bumper, pull two 8mm hex/phillips screws out (under front bumper/wheel...

    Solar to charge Spark EV

    I think off grid charging is a awesome idea and a good backup source of energy when the grid fails. I plan to use this 2800 watt 2.8kw mobile solar trailer I built 3 years ago, I could charge my spark ev on occasions. Here's a link to some pics of it I need to update them tho...

    Fake noise maker

    Fake noise maker was meant to be unplugged without problem. Thats why I love most Chevys simple,reliable,affordable,powerful.

    Spark EV - An affordable electric racecar (my build thread)

    This car will some times spin tires & some times not when fully charged. Its not out of control by any means yet, my BMW S100RR can be at times but its all up to the driver. Still some of us like more power doesn't mean you have to use it all the time and waste energy, just at your disposal...

    Spark EV - An affordable electric racecar (my build thread)

    Cool makes sense thanks again for the info! I think your trial and testing solves it for me as I would like to keep the lowering option open with best tire clearances in the future for my car. I hope someday we can also have some kind of HP tuners programer setup for these little hot rods.

    Spark EV - An affordable electric racecar (my build thread)

    Thanks for the info those wheels look killer on your car, the polished contrast well with the white spark and other chrome on your car! I dig the simple look of the slipstreams kinda timeless for compact cars, like what toque thrust wheels do for older cars. My car is blue but I'm thinking flat...

    Spark EV - An affordable electric racecar (my build thread)

    Hey do you know if Rota Slipstreams have any difference in the spoke thickness or curve compared to the Desmond Regamaster Evo Brights you used that would affect fitment on the Spark EV ? And I see the Rotas in 15x6.5 with 40mm backspacing thats about .19 of an inch less, would this work out...

    Spark EV - An affordable electric racecar (my build thread)

    Yes you guys convinced me to add an extra noise maker and 5 more airbags now I can just stop in front of moving semi's I am invincible at nerdy proportions and only lose minimal range! On a real note, for hot rodding/racing or just extended range anything that unnecessarily takes power and...

    Issues with your Spark EV?

    I found that negative side of 12volt under hood battery crimp connector on my car had not been fully crimped from factory, it had some slight movement where cable goes into crimp on neg battery post that caused the car to freak out one day, once turned off then on 5 min later it displayed low...

    New Spark EV - towed for dead battery

    Yep the neg 12v battery crimp connector was the problem! It has no more issues. Once some GM service tech figures this out maybe a possible GM recall for the 2014 EV Spark or maybe not worth the money for them. At least its a simple cheap fix here is the tool I used, got mine on ebay 1 year ago...

    Spark EV - An affordable electric racecar (my build thread)

    On the race car diet thought, any idea where the fake noise maker is and how to disable/remove it to save power and weight? Maybe find & disconnect fuse to see if it throws check light.
