Nice job! I’d love to see a driving video of the converted car.
Excellent conversion, thanks for the video. Really well done
What did you use for rear fenders?
Those are the fiberglass fenders sold by Kinetic Vehicles. They come in a trim-to-fit size with flanges to mount to the car.
Wow that is ao wild about the track banning EVs. Especially the part about lithium 12v batteries because those are mostly LifePo4 which are not a fire risk at all. Lithium fires are scary and a problem but a blanket ban is dumb for too many reasons to list. Just lazy thinking.
I might have missed it in the video but why did you have to mount the leaf motor in reverse? My guess is space/packaging but I would like to know.
@@kmpm Ah, good question. Yes it was entirely for packaging reasons. The rear section just doesn't have enough room ahead of the wheel centerline. The axles would have had a pretty extreme forward angle, way outside the recommended range for the inner tripod-style joints.
Why don't you use a 4cylinder engine? I'm building one myself, using a 2.5l Duratec, NC Miata 6 speed and NC LSD.
