Re: My Electric MX-3

Sorry...I had the engine on Craigslist since I removed the engine from the car. When people found out that it had 281000 km (175000 mi) on it, they quickly hung up! I had to clean the garage, so I scrapped it. I kept a piston as a souvenir if you want that. :lol:

Re: My Electric MX-3

I would say bring it to the Kelowna mx-west meet we have every summer but you would'nt make the drive :( Ha! No, I'd make it to Aldergrove, maybe. That's where my party would have to be! Out of curiosity how many kilometers do you get on a single charge? Also where did you get all the parts to do t...

Heater barely blowing out of vents

I am wondering if there is a common solution to a common problem with my heater. Even with the fan on HIGH, barely any air blows out of the vents. -All positions work -No difference whether it is on FRESH or RECIRC -The fan itself blows like crazy with the fan box to heater box pipe removed -Fan box...

Re: My Electric MX-3

Nope, the 1.6 wasn't cheaper. The total build cost me under $4K. I didn't do it to save gas - I did it because it was a cool project. And as a bonus, it is very useful as a commuter now. Now that it is cold and I use the heater a lot, it's current efficiency is 475-525 watt hours per mile, measured ...

Re: My Electric MX-3

Yes, I live in Surrey, close to Langley City. This project was meant to be a very low budget EV conversion for my 6-1/2 km (4 mile) commute (each way). Most conversions cost north of $10K and I managed to finish mine at just under $4K, including the price of the car. I had low goals to keep the pric...

My Electric MX-3

I have owned this car for about a year now and finally decided to join this forum. I recently finished converting it into an EV. May I present: The Elecrtric Booger. http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k634/mechman600/IMG_20130114_195924_zps4e14c268.jpg http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k634/mechm...
