I quite like the idea of that.

Wait and see what it actually sounds like when you finish. Mine already sounds like a jet engine when accelerating. Peter But does it have the afterburner? :lol: Yes, I'm reluctant to do any more then dream and ponder such things until the car is fully functional. Besides it would be nice to hear t...

It's weeny! :lol: I hope it works well for you and I look forward to the reports of its progress and usability. I have been weighting up how much battery I need in the MR2 and I am looking at around 45 180Ah LiFePo4. I've figured that the £/Ah cost is about the same regardless of capacity so I just ...

Yes, it would be so tempting to have a jet engine whine and whoosh as I drive along and then switch it to a tractor diesel when I am in a dodgy area and need to park up. :lol: I do want to make this my own though and I am tempted to debadge it and replace with my own company logo and decals with a f...

Where to get a motor from?
I am looking to source a forklift motor as I really can't afford to invest in a WarP9 imported from the States. Any suggestions of any good forklift breakers that are worth approaching? Has anyone here used that route? I don't really want to buy a whole truck from Ebay, no matter how cheap, mainly d...

It will be interesting to see how these work out for you. I am working on the basis that I will have to use LiFePo batteries as the only way to achieve usable range and reasonable weight. I haven't imported anything over from China either (except for the occasional relative but I was able to send th...

I was figuring on the throttle pedal acting directly, via cable or rods, to move the brush mounting plate against the retu...
