de-ICED, What next?


Posted: 01-24-2010 - 06:22 PM by rmacey

First, thanks to those folks on various forums who have responded to my questions. I was able to remove the starter which was the last thing connecting the engine to the tranny. They are now separated. Progress showni in last six photos in this album http://picasaweb.google.com/xer0925/...eat=directlink

Need to clean car up and figure out what's next.

Still can't get the last bolt holding the axle to the tranny. Got an air compressor with an impact wrench and ratchet wrench. Put the two bolts in on either side of the problem bolt and still couldn't get the last one loose.

EV Dashboard


Posted: 11-10-2009 - 11:09 AM by johnb

Here is an add-on display for the Paktrakr. It runs on a dash mounted GPS system but the app can also run on any Windows Mobile 5 or 6 phone or pda. I'm just getting this finished up so contact me if you are interested in helping test the bits. I'm not planning on charging for the "basic" version.

Note: The backend to the system is flexible and could be modified to talk to any EV system.
