This guy ripped out the F20C, transmission, etc, and replaced it all with batteries and a giant alternator. Interesting project!

Cool project, but c'mon, I want to see a little silent-running hoonage. It's a sportscar, not a golf cart!

 

140 hp 225 tq.. its backwards!

 

impressive work, but I wouldnt want it.

 

Conversation starter with your friends

 

sooo sooo soo DUMB! big thumbs down.

 

Why?

Explain.

 

We all love our engines (almost as much as hardcore FD guys like theirs), but you have to admit that the S2000 is a pretty good choice if you want to build your own Tesla. Lightweight, and comparatively a lot of room front and rear to house various components (compared with, say, Miatas, MR2s, or Fieros... not sure why I've seen so many electric Fieros).

Cool project, but I still want to see more focus on fun. I mean he's running half-amperage to the motor why? To get better range? Feh, I want to see what it does with 225 ft.lbs of torque!

 

Where did you find that? I found the page for the motor and it says only 100HP peak at 144 volts.
