Gav's EV Conversion 16 - The First Trial Run

Woohoo!The Tredia is alive and KICKING!After successfully test-spinning the wheels with the car off the ground, we lowered it down late on Friday night and took it for it's first test drive up and down our empty street!I make no apologies for my excited girly giggling - you would too!I would rather have test proven the car on a race-track or abandoned airport runway but there are none of those things near here so I had no choice but to use the empty road. In case the Police are reading this, Sorry! I had to for testing purposes! It won't happen again! :)So, not only was the test drive REALLY good fun, it was very useful for finding faults. I've tracked down three teething issues I need to work on before taking the car to Auckland to be certified!If you're thinking of starting your own conversion or if you've been putting it off, START IT TODAY!Ok, still heaps to do before I can drive it about so it's back into the garage to build the recharging system!Check out www.KiwiEV.com for the latest info!ANOTHER UPDATE!!I'm selling DVDs of the whole project for $15 USD at my website www.KiwiEV.com (That includes Airmail postage too!) The quality's much better than on Youtube and it comes with an unreleased Bonus Video!

Gav's EV Conversion 13 - The Control Panel

With the racks installed and out of the way I was able to create and install the "Control Box" and Curtis 1231C Controller.I started by 'Tetrising' all the components into a metal box I found, and screwed everything down.After that I installed the Controller onto a nice thick plate of aluminium to help remove any heat as apparently they can get hot at times. Then it was a matter of bolting it all down and pre-wiring everything ready for the batteries.I even installed the cool Kill-Switch with a choke cable from an old Mini! Progress is roaring along. My batteries have been ordered and should be installed within a fortnight with luck. The ETA for completion is most likely January-ish!
