Hello World. I completed an electric conversion of my 73' 914 With 56 200AmpHour Lithium cells. http://www.evsmile.com
The car is fun and fast and has a range of 120 miles. The car weighs 2700 lbs. I beefed up the rear springs but did nothing for the front and after driving around with the extra weight including my 210lbs, the front is sagging. Any suggestions anyone. Pelican parts has torsion bars that are thicker than stock, I think 21 to 22 mm. That do the trick? Thank you! |

Please post some pictures of your conversion ( if you haven't already). Everyone enjoys seeing unique, clever engineering!
I always thought an electric 914 (with the license plate 'FUEPA') would make a nice daily driver. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Oh - out of curiosity - what is your 0 to 60? Mine is roughly 12 seconds, but I need to put in a beefier clutch and figure out how to deal with the batteries better. |
