Found the thread for Daox's shift knob (link here for my own future personal reference) - is he still active on here and responding to PMs for orders?

Can't seem to find a thread on the fake-2mph circuit board thingy.

Is this thread what you used for the regen button, save using the connections to the button on Daox's shift knob?

Clutch one, not sure if I found the right one or not, is this it?

Honda hybrids, for all of their battery woes, can actually be driven without them.
So let it be, and then plug it into a grid charger when I'm about to start driving it again?

Well I know I couldn't assemble one for any cost
