Hi everybody!
My name is Ben, I'm from Montreal in Canada and I'm planning to build my own EV RX-7
I currently own a 3th Gen RX-7 and would like to get a 1st gen since it's a pretty nice car, RWD, and relatively cheap car since almost all of them have blown engines.
I concider myself advanced about mechanic knowledge, My dad's a Professional Mech so I always serviced my car since the age of 16. I'm curently doing a professional formation in body repair
I think that it's good to know that I plan to do this project with a friend of mine who is starting a Bachelor degree in electrical engineering. basicaly, I got hands and he got brains, but I'm pretty confident that I'll learn a lot from this.
I'm hoping to get a 80MPH top speed / 150miles span at cruising speed
here are some things we have concidered so far:
-DC motor
-Li-FePh batteries
-homebuilt controller
-battery recharge on deceleration
-12v converter (to prevent 12v battery+alternator setup)
I'm open to any suggestion/comments. I'm sure you guys will be very usefull.
