yoeddynz Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Oh sweet- that would be ideal for cam angle and combined with the 36-1 wheel on the front I could run sequential injection If I decide to keep the tall, chunky little datto engine. It does sound lovely though..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 @yoeddynz Have you ever thought of a leaf conversion? I have been thinking quite a bit about an electric Jag but I'm struggling to find much information. A comment you made about a Testla Imp got me thinking about how a Leaf Imp could work. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main drawback is the cost of the electric stuff when going tesla. Shit, for the cost of importing a drive unit here, batteries and control board modifications you could have someone else fit an LSA crate motor, then take the family to meccas. Leaf would be perfect for an imp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 The hardest part about driving an EV is telling your parents you're gay. In another 30 years I'm going to be no different to the old Barry's with their bib overalls and trucker caps at tractor/steam carnivals. Burning dinosaurs and telling Barry sharns about the golden age of gasoline. (Meanwhile the much hated and maligned millenials will be the new boomers in training, pissing and moaning about whatever handle they bestow on the pesky kids of that era) Dont forget who you are Alex. Burn dinosaurs till the end..... /ling. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah I've not thought about them. We do have some friends in the valley with a leaf so I must take it for a hoon. But I would miss proper engine sounds though. Not a fan of piped in fake sound either. And cheers Mason. No worries. One day I'll get to hoon your Rx2 (if you've not sold it by then and bought a horrid as Falcon.... ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris r Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I really enjoyed taking this for a hoon when I visited. I have a sneaky suspicion I know what you have lined up for this and I hope it is what I think it is... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Yeah you drove it well too. Really interesting seeing how people cope driving old unfamiliar cars. Often I find it's the folk who talk about driving fast cars, or seem to have given the illusion that they can drive quickly etc that are actually the worst drivers. Driving smoothly is a virtue that many wannabe 'fast' drivers seem to lack. Their cars must suffer too! Yeah you know the engine but it's hush hush OK....

maxted Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Bit gutted didn't make it to that Blenheim show! looked really good from your photos I think my old boy took his Chevrolet over for it. are you going to do something similar to the viva dash using a later model cars dash parts? or aftermarket to convert to electronic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Yeah it was possibly one of the best shows I have been to. Best thing was that it had a nice spread of cars and wasn't all just hotrods, american cars and Holdens/fords Lots of Japanese, english and european cars- which are more my thing Not sure on dash yet. I was planning to do something similar to the viva instruments and make my own but the cost of alloy and all the pissing about exceeds my hassle factor ratio when compared to just buying some aftermarket gauges. The Viva ones worked well but never did looking completly right with their very Japanese 80's/90's car font. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
