Sorry for being quiet guys - I bought a car from Copart - all good, sold the chassis and gearbox for over half the value I paid for the entire car.

Just got the motor installed in the car, lots to do but had everything working on the bench, so fingers crossed!

Yeah you have to be careful for sure - but that first example, the guy purchase a tesla for $12k that had recently been sold for $22k, I mean common... nothing in life is free and that is a massive red flag that someone has removed the $10k battery pack!

I have read, read and read some more, and I think my heart is set on upgrading this now to a Leaf motor, inverter and potentially battery pack also ...

Hay, thanks for the welcome,

I have been going slightly nuts over the last few days. I simply want to find an inverter that will produce around 30kw of power @ 100-120v that I can program to fit my existing motor. This is the first upgrade for my car.

OH MY GOD, what a minefield of devices and ...

Hi all,

I have just finished my V1 Rx8 EV conversion... Video link below to information. It is woefully under powered so I am thinking of the Leaf Route.
