    Was keen on your inertia switch that i missed the other day on TM(was away for a while), if you still have it pls let m know would be keen to grab them.

    Getting my complete AC drive system very very soon within (fings-crsd) 30-45 days depending on how the captain of the titanic spots NZ from a distance....lol

    Looking at the new car this as the donor, what do you think?? Some feedback i'll be gr8! Given that the wife's gonna chill a bit and relax and stop thinking that i'm gonna wreck it 'll help make it be the donor o/w i'll have to respin the wheel of fortune to find another donor

    Keep well for now and talk to you/see you soon!

    Hi Sam,

    Thanks for your reply. Apologies for taking a while to get back to you. Been a nightmare of for a while (still is really) trying to rap up this bloody masters study of mine. Just sold my 4x4 Car the other day and bought a new one from TM yest (that i'll be collecting off this Wed, flying to Palm Nth).

    Ouch..., u're in Tauranga, thought ure in AKL for some reason, donno y? but hey, we'll meet for sure one day sooner or later when either ur'e or my drive becomes literally free to where we're going, freedom at last

    Thanks fo the inputs on hub motors, F&P. Got those sometime ago and am fiddeling with them all the time. Awaiting yet to reach somewhere interesting with them/or a spin-off idea off them.

    Hi sam, i know we share the same interest on this topic. Would you have seen this? Any leads as to if there is an off-the-shelf model for the this particular hybrid motor? I know there are some at ridiculous prices that ppl spoke about in the past, and i believe u are working on a diy version ureself, but let me from u research which ones are presently on sale pls, as it will save me heaps of time re-inventing the wheel and doing a thorough research. Thanks By any chance, where abouts in AKL are you and how's ure scheduling and interest for this hobby. Regards, Saleh

    1988 Pontiac Fiero with the HPG AC31 motor. Haven't done any cell testing other than checking delivered voltage, all at 3.24 volts. The only testing I'll be doing will be to use them in the vehicle. Nothing like real world testing.

This marks the beginning of my first EV conversion. Ive just bought an MR2 as a donor vehicle for $380. Theres also a spoiler included. Why so cheap? Well, the motors bottom end has blown not that Ill need it. Also, the car has been deregistered and would require recertification. Since its being converted to electric, it needs certifying anyway. The bodywork is all original with only two minor scratches but the interior needs a bit of attention.
