Magic isn't how I'd describe itThey need some piped in sound otherwise it's too close to magic!

No that's even worse. Keep them whooshing Jetsons science fiction things.They need some piped in sound otherwise it's too close to magic!
I used to drive a 1999 CLK 230 Kompressor in the UK - that would have made a great project car too!If I'd kept my W124 estate it would have made a fantastic project
If it's anything like the kit offered by a mob in Denmark for my T4 dual cab...I'd expect very little change from forty grand. As much as I love the idea of an EV conversion...I could fit a mid mounted Porsche Boxster driveline for less than that.
Perfect conversion donor.
Also might not need to buy a new golf when our existing one starts to get tired (still under 100k km on it):
VW / AUDI EV Conversion Kit Tesla Cells + HyPer 9 Motor | EVolution Australia
This electric car conversion kit is ideal for just about any front wheel drive Volkswagen or AUDI car such as the A3, Golf, Caddy, Transporter, T4, T5 and T6 and just about any model from 1976 up to 2020! The kit nominally includes the following Hyper 9 Motor and Controller or AC51 HPEVS...www.evolutionaustralia.com.au
This is pretty awesome.
and you should.I could fit a mid mounted Porsche Boxster driveline for less than that.
When the old diesel donk dinks itself into dunnage...the option will be seriously explored.and you should
Nah, thats like piping in the sound of horse hooves in your ICE car EVs are not silent, and have all sorts of their own sound things going on.They need some piped in sound otherwise it's too close to magic!
I'm well up for it, retro electric is where it's at. So many amazing cars would be great candidates although I'd wait for a crate solid state battery. That way you can try to retain some of the lightweight feel of the original car.Old men who can't let go. Embrace the silence. Give in to the torque. Ogle in the efficiency
As for fun, if Tesla wanted to they could emulate the BMW skid factor with lines of code I'm sure. I also want them to make the Mazda as per I think @Dales Cannon's post, I really hope it happens. A young friend just bought a Model 3 and has offered a ride so I'm keen to do that hopefully next week.
Damn! What died?My old 2010 Triton died yesterday and if it’s not worth fixing I’d love to covert it. Unfortunately I don’t really have the time and I’ll have to buy another ICE. I was hoping it would hold out until there was some affordable options for what I’m after.
I know someone with one in Melbourne that regularly travels to Sydney and Adelaide in it. He likes it.Those Kona EVs look okay, the range is enough for me too. There are a few charging stations down the coast....
My mechanic is going to look into it this week. Thought the starter was on the way out as it kept disengaging when I tried to start it after leaving work Thursday. Got a tow start drove it to my mechanic workshop and they found that water is getting into the cylinders so that may be a headgasket, cracked head or block or maybe a leaking EGR cooler. If it is the latter it's worth fixing, if it's not I'll sell it off cheap.Damn! What died?
