Was that the green 318 Challenger? I really liked that car. I thought it would be a perfect cruiser. Unfortunately, I don't have the funds to take it on. I picked up the information just in case something changes in the future.
This was our first time going. Overall a pretty good event. We liked there was a kids area for our son to run around in. Maybe next year I'll bring my Dart.
I have a pretty much brand new March Performance 10271 crank pulley for sale. I literally opened the box, held it next to my existing crank pulley, and realized it didn't fit. It's never been bolted to a car. I am outside of my return window.
Part is located near the Twin Cities in Minnesota. I...
Just for fun, I decided to open the box that had my new crank pulley in it and it's for the wrong application completely. It wouldn't work. So, I just ordered a smaller alternator pulley for my Powermaster Alternator and hopefully that will be enough to charge the Dart. My current pulley OD is...
Yeah, the house I bought has been a fixer upper so it's been taking all my energy and funds. There are a lot of "comfort repairs" I need to make so that I can enjoy it more.
I have a "charging issue" right now that makes it difficult to drive the car. I have a new high output alternator...
Wow, it's been a year since I updated this. Well, not much of an update on the Dart itself. I had a kid and moved across country so, that's why I haven't done much with the car. It's pretty much the same. I drive it once a month on the freeway. The car needs some TLC & "updating." I'm not sure...
The point I was making was using OEM Tesla computers, wiring harnesses, and stuff to do an EV conversion is significantly harder than going with an Aftermarket setup (like Stealth EV or EV West) to use a Tesla motor in an EV swap.
I would like to make a note. Not all 275mm tires are the same width. A lot of the 200TW tires that have come out in the past year or so are actually wider (by approx. 10mm) than their predecessor's at the same size. While they are wider, most tires aren't taller for the same size. Notice the...
From what I understand, it will be an absolute nightmare. Mechanically, Tesla's are simple, but their computers are complex. I feel like there are a lot easier ways of doing an EV swap.
I'd probably start with a 9" diameter or greater forklift motor and connect it to a manual transmission. If...
