We chose the Del Sol because its perfect for an electric conversion, small, light, and it has a manual steering rack (an absolute bitch to replace if powered by the engine). We got it for $300 cause the engine was shot, barely drove.
If you had better gear ratios do you think it could go faster? Ive been debating on turning a trans around in reverse (driven by the output shaft, spun backwards) for a better gear ratio, and with a 5spd, youde have a .82 1st which i think would work ok depending on your motor (which you didnt show a good shot of :-(
That is the vacuum pump - we don't have an automatic shut off right now (no valve) so its just running constantly. First test drive we forgot to even plug it in!
Not too sure the speedometer is broken. We're thinking it'll do 80-90km/h fine. Today we started mounting components properly, the batteries are in the trunk now and we'll have a passenger seat again haha
Very nice project. How fast were you guys going at the end of the second test drive? Any improvement after 2 years?

Make an electric car or destroy a Del Sol?

James, What is that constant buzzing sound? If it's the electric vacuum pump, it seems to run for a long time. Ric.
