Inspection results and new high voltage cables

The car itself was approved as it was and it was weighted to be 50kg lighter than its original weight! However its new electrics need to be proved to comply with safety regulations (link to the applied regulation in finnish: www.finlex.fi/fi/laki/alkup/2011/20111064). Once I have the required documentation available and delivered the Corollaefx should be ready to hit the streets!

Driving the car to the inspection was fun! It was a rainy day so the heating could be tested to see if the windshield stays out of fog and it stayed very clear! The performance was quite like expected; not too much power available. 2nd gear felt as the best choise to get the car moving from a stopped situation. I reached 80km/h with 4th gear but as the needed currents were over continuous current levels I decided to slow down and drive 60-70 km/h using 3rd gear. With this drivetrain and chassis 70km/h looks to be the continuous maximum driving speed at the moment. I can't wait to get the car into everyday driving to get more experince and testing:)

The picture above shows new high voltage cables that were installed. The old welding cables used earlier were removed as they were not in a very good shape and I did not know what type they were. The new cables are 50mm^2 H07V-K type purchased from a local hardware store IKH.
