rspann wrote:There is a controller on the battery pack that regulates the voltage on each cell through sensors on the cells. Each cell is replaceable and there are guys who sell cells for$300 -$500. The sensors wires and contacts can get corroded and make technicians tell you the battery is gone, go to a reputable tech. The ioniqs and niro use a common battery and some have the 12v starter battery inside the hybrid battery pack so you don't see a 12v battery in the car. They are harder to charge but it really isn't a problem. There are used batteries available from almost new cars that sell for a fraction of the cost of a new one. I got one from a car doing 26km for $500 USD.....

Good stuff Capt BN!! Prices are dropping.

It's like comparing a basic model 2016 RAV-4 sold from Toyota Trinidad vs. a basic model 2016 RAV-4 sold in USA/EU vs. a fully loaded used model for JDM. Same name and look, but different features when you dig deeper.
In USA there are some heavy laws in safety features: https://one.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/import ... index.html
The basic cars made for other markets with no such laws can leave out many of that stuff listed on the website above. They usually don't conform to the standard VIN format used in USA/EU and would use some weird system used by the JDM using the model and chassis number combined like RU1-34****85 (RU1 is Honda Vezel), as well as listing other codes on the plate like factory and engine type.

How come parts dealers in Bamboo don't have for the RORO Hondas we're getting now? They're selling really well in Japan and the Far East countries.
Handles smooth road pretty well? Lmao...much more roughSpitfir3 wrote:like these men said
1.car is dead quiet
2.spacious for small to medium sized folks
3.handles smooth road really well
4.maintenance items and parts getting easier to get with the car being mature on the market not to mention the sheit ton it have on the road
5.has some decent pep for such a dinky lil engine
6.fuel efficient
would rather recommend the aqua for a personal daily commute vehicle as opposed to the ad unless you need a lot of storage room

rspann wrote:The fielder , the Axio and the Aqua use the same electronic parts ie the Hybrid electronics and battery. The difference would be the size . They are good vehicles and really don't give any problems. There is also the regular gas engine Axio and Fielder. The Prius is more complicated and carry totally different parts. All the parts are available used in the local foreign used shops. The Vezel is also good but parts is the problem. You will get certain body parts in the US and some by ANSA but the mechanical parts are different to the HRV although they look like the same vehicle. The parts are extremely hard to come by. Nobody has parts for the fit except those parts that are shared by other models, which are very few. There are no body , lights or mechanical parts available except by order. Right now I have two Vezels and a Fit waiting on parts in my garage. One person is buying damaged Vezels and scrapping them because of the demand but the front of those are damaged so it's back to square one. On the other hand I have an Aqua, a fielder hybrid and an Axio hybrid that parts were available many places in the Bamboo. The cost of the aqua parts were very high initially, but they are coming down as they become older and more available.
Prius is 1.8L. No exemption from taxes etc.pugboy wrote:how come the fu dealers dont bring the regular prius ?

Out of curiosity what parts the Vezels require in your garage... I really like these vehicles but I'm concerned about reliability.
rspann wrote:Rockram, We do collision repairs for insurance companies but we also supply parts for cars that are being repaired in other garages. It's mainly body and mechanical parts , but sometimes electrical parts come into play, like flooded vehicles or where components are damaged in the accident. The two last Vezels I brought in parts from USA but they didn't have the RS so I had to use some from another car and re order what I used.
Right now I'm waiting on a SRS ECU for a vezel because once they crash they won't restart if the airbags deploy. We can remove the crash data and get them started but they are linked to the lane change system the brake hold and the anti skid. The only place it's available is in Japan. Ansa has parts for the HRV but most parts are different from the Vezel although they look identical. The suspension parts are slightly different so it's mostly some of the body parts that are compatible.
All in all they are good cars but the electronics is very complicated and be prepared to wait a couple months for parts.

You can get a fender for $1000 and a bumper for $3000. I got some parts by a guy next door to your straightener in Akbar Tr. at reasonable prices. Seems he brought in a few halves.
Well I have seen quite a few aqua and fielder hybrid with music, so I guessing it's doableRovin wrote:what about hooking up some hard pong or not so hard pong in any hybrid , u connect it to d gas engine's batt like normal & d engine alt will recharged it as usual ???
