There's alot of gee whiz info in there. Like how much bolt on components weigh and such... very interesting. I wonder if this thing will be quick when he's done.

 

that is nuts... you would have to do some serious research, have the brains and more importantly the balls to do something like that. Can't wait to see how it performs and with the 650lb already removed it could be a hell of a light weight if full carbon bodywork is used...

 

That is awesome. Even if it's top end may be less compared to the conventional stock engine, it'll be more interesting to see how fast it'll accelerate due to it's instantaneous torque.

 

wow i had the sam idea, but less sophisticated.

 

I love the comment

" Now we know gas prices will continue to raise so it would actually pay for itself in less than that amount of time ...."

I love when people state "facts" and are wrong.

I think it is an interesting project, but I would never pick an S for it. Additionally if fuel cost is such an issue, move closer to work!

 

I would think that the motor and batteries will offset most of the weight removed. I did not see any qoute on battery weight.

 

I think the idea and work is great, but I think they wasted an s2000.

 

reminds me of the article in a motor trend i just read, about RUF building an all electric porsche. (was a 996 platform if i remember correctly.)

 

Aye sorry, the blog is weird... i read it before the batteries had arrived as i thought it went from oldest to newest... pre-battery it was down the weight... batteries probably have equalized if not increased overall weight

 

he should've done this on a tercel or something.
