| Air Conditioning: | | N/a (Future upgrade) |
| Power Steering: | | Yes |
| Brakes: | | Vacuum system w/reservoir |
| Tires: | | LRRT 15" TBA |
| Other Notes: | | ****NOTE***: Price includes final battery pack to be put in place which will be 72kWh LiFePO4 A123, Headway, or LiPO (TBA later towards the end).
COMPLETED SO FAR:
- Bought a donor / bought another donor car for scooping up its steering and wheel hubs to the original donor
- Stripped the original donor car naked all the way
- Bought my motor, controller, cheap NiCad test battery pack (some 5.5kWh-13.8kW) again for testing purposes only not the real deal and end pack, charger(s) in-built and external (home charging), Main Contactor, some odd resistors, DC-DC converter
NEED TO DO:
1-) [U]Chassis work[/U]: Soda blast, welding to re-adapt the original donor's chassis to accommodate the steering and wheel hubs,rust proofing, priming, and coating
2-) [U]Fiberglass Body work[/U]: Soda blast, cut and modify windows to suit preferences, seal old holes/filling etc..., re-gelcoat, re-prime (and stop at this stage, wont go as far as coating and clear coating yet)
3-) [U]Powertrain work [/U]:Adapt motor to differential directly (direct drive) with short drive shaft and adaptor/coupling (no g/box, no flywheels, nothing). Rear-Wheel drive with original differential rotated 180 degrees facing backwards and motor sitting behind it.
4-) [U]12V Electrical work[/U]: Re-wire entire 12V electrical system lights, horn, speakers, pumps, wipers, etc...
5-) [U]Brake system[/U]: Vacuum pump installation and testing.
6-) [U]Steering unit[/U]:Installation and testing.
7-) [U]High Voltage electrical work[/U]:Make 10 battery packs out of the test battery bank available. I have 256 NiCaD battery units, with each battery unit having 18V / 1.2Ah or 3Ah (yet to be discovered :)) specs. Hence the end result will be 10 packs of 36V/14.4Ah or 36V/36Ah (2 series; 12 parallel).
8-) [U] Safety / Ignition work[/U]: Contactors, resistors, shunts, High voltage Wiring and consolidation, Controller wiring, motor wiring.
9-) Driveway/side road test.
10-) Legals: Certification, Registration ,etc...
Will be posting in the garage soon to get some feedback from all you guys and the general crowd in EU and US. |
