what is the white bottle in the engine compartment for? Sorry for all the questions

[BenjaminNelson]

The white bottle is a vacuum tank. A small 12V air pump pulls air out of the bottle, which is connected to the brake master cylinder. That runs the power brakes. A vacuum switch on the tank turns the pump off when it has sucked enough vacuum.

Just wondering have you put a clutch on this car or are you just timing the shifts?

[BenjaminNelson]

No clutch at all! It is surprisingly easy to shift this electric car without one. It does take just a tad longer - 2 seconds to shift instead of half a second. No big deal. Works fine!

Hard as hell on synchros. Don't expect 100k miles out of that trans. lol

This reminds me of my own EV Geo. I wish I knew where it went. I think NewYork.

thanks for makeing some more of your electric car vids man, I have been waiting for anew one for a wile.

[fordescort98]

I like your videos. You work really hard and that is inspiring me and my friend to create a electric car conversion

[ajloder10]

I'm really impressed by how hard you work on your car! You're really non-stop, and you won't settle for anything less than great! I love watching your series, and it's really been a lot of help on my electric car conversion!

Looks like you got the same answer on "ecomodder" forum that I gave prior to your reposting of this video. I like the idea of coil over rear shocks as an added help and or making a thicker upper spring seat.

[SirTragain]

I'd still check and see if the 5 door wagon might have heaver rear spring rating.
