Pulling ICE and related parts and GOING ELECTRIC
I'm going Electric
The plan is to pull my internal combustion engine and install an electric motor and batteries. I've thought about it for a few years and now I'm going to do it. no need to reply telling me I'm crazy , most of you know that already and I hear enough of it in person . It will work , It will be fun to Drive , It will NEVER NEED: FUEL/oil/plugs/filters/gaskets/ anywhere near as much maintenance as it does now . electric motors are inherently powerful and efficient. Imagine " you may say that I'm a dreamer , but I'm not the only one" EV Photo Album: Our Electric Cars on the Web use the search tool there and look up "supra". thread in the "parts for sale section " http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...html#post60516

Nice, I have considered this, but I like my ol' 7M to much. I plan to do this to my lowrider though, I found a company that sells transmission adapters for a electric motor. The rest is pie, a few resistors, regulators, and adjustable transistors and it will work.
The only thing that is holding me back is the current battery technology, sure you can make a quick ars electric vehicle, but then your range goes down. The was a car I saw recently that is called the Tesla Roadster, from Tesla Motors, its a electric car based on the Lotus chassis. They are using killer battery's, and a light car and they achieved over 200 miles to one charge, of coarse it had a $110,000 price tag. |

If you're going to use common lead-acid batteries, you are a fool. At least get a BUNCH of rechargable lithiums, like the future Prius will use.
