weaktwosI bought two modification packs from Coastal Electronic Technologies last night.
Mod one: http://www.coastaletech.com/electric_only_mode.htm
and Mod two:
http://www.coastaletech.com/nav_kit.htm
I look forward to seeing how they work. One will allow me to use the electric engine only at speeds under 34mph. The other will let my passenger (ahem) operate the nav system while I drive.
Good fun.
The company seems to have a very rudimentary order form, so we'll see if they deliver.

On the one hand, I'm like "Whoa! That is cool!" and on the other, "Um... isn't there something wrong with being able to override a cars computer system so easily?".
