Thank you.

The Porsche is at the lab to be street legal, when it will be back we will start improving the setup again

I am about to start mounting the drive unit to my car. Can you share any pictures of the way you mounted it to the frame. Also did you get driveshafts made and how easy was it to get them.
If somethings worth doing, its worth getting it wrong a few times first.

The frame is home made, they now offer a kit https://evshop.eu/fr/kits-de-conversion ... rsion.html
I think they might share the desing or make one frame for you.
