Check this out, this is awesome. The guy just finished completely converting his 2003 S2000 to electric drive.

Yeah, it's pretty sweet. I kinda wish he'd kept the original MES motor, though, to preserve the stock redline.

Sweet, I've always wanted a coal powered car.

Electricity isn't clean, it's just remote polution, and I"m digging those toxic batteries that wear out in a couple of years. Oh yea, electric cars don't work very well in the cold, that's why they were sold almost exclusively in Southern California. I'll keep my internal combustion, thank you very much.

Wow, completely awesome, but incredibly wasteful. Interested to see what his 0-60 times are.

Cool YouTube walkaround.

I agree with Rob that electrical cars are not practical but I can't help but applaud this guy for the effort and the ingenuity.
