I have not been able to find much in the way of dimensions or documentation for the roof structure. Can you ask the FIA to supply you with the paperwork that they are basing their feedback on? The MK IIs typically have an extra vertical slot cut into the lower air intake in the B pillar to...

Mark, the originals used a live hub design that rotates inside a large bearing that was held stationary within the upright casting. This is a different design to that which most OEM early double A arm front knuckles used, EG Cortina/Gemini/MX5/Jaguar/HQ holden ect. (stuff commonly available in...

We are really starting to deviate from what i had initially wondered when i started this thread, but that's fine. What ever the community wants. With the electric cars, a lot of the stuff is based on programing, and you can certainly change how stuff feels quite easily. You are not stuck with...

I can't believe this has not sold. Would be easy enough to ship out of NZ. I know a couple of CCD cars have been shipped from NZ back to Australia as well as across to the UK. 1001 being a previous example that is documented here on the forum and if I am not mistaken a former stable/garage...

Thanks Dave, I'm not here to persuade anyone in either direction. As a side note, I took mine down to a car meet tonight, no dramas, well received by the public who were having a good look at it and ignored by the police when it came time to leave.

Dave, could you vote please, so that we can understand your position.

It goes down! Same as if you have a bike rack or trailer on the back. A mate has a Kia EV6 Air. It will adjust the range based on what temperature you have set, as well as what fan speeds you have set as well. So if you turn the fans up high and the temperature down low it will adjust the...

Heated seats are awesome, Absolute must have.

That 10 hour trip sounds perfect for a hybrid or a BEV if within its range window. I have noticed that using the HVAC will effect range which does not normally show up so much in a ICE car, so it’s not necessarily the range but time operating the vehicle that effects it. I’ve just put a BM6...

Lets see if I can remember how to upload photos. This is where I left my cad file at.

It appears I have been side tracked from this for too long. Need to work out what I was doing last, I was hoping that I had something here to remind me? I think it was working out the rear support structure for GT103. I did finish the 4 week Tig welding course and really enjoyed that.

Have picked up one of the limited 2023 Abarth 500e Scorpionissima's, which makes me smile when I drive it.

Some interesting responses and not what I thought I would get. I was expecting to get more of the "No and I have not driven one"

I just bought the holders over the counter at my local auto parts store (Repco here in Australia). They were fairly generic things that take your typical automotive taillight and indicator bulbs. The gromets/o rings are just out of a multi pack that had sizes in 1mm increments. Again, nothing...

Just curious who has an EV here. Particularly a Battery powered Electric Vehicle - BEV.

Thats not a drawing though, its a projection through the side of foot box where the 3.5" holes are located. Some of the other faces and planes in that view are not parallel with the plane where the holes are located. I have shown that view as we were discussing the sizes of the holes. The...

My dimensions are in inches.

I like it, it has a certain character about it. from the mounts near the steering rack, it looks like it is a tubular steel space frame in places. The interior looks to be clad in sheet aluminum. This would be consistent with most replica cars. The original cars had a sheet metal monocoque...

Congratulations Andy and the rest of the team at Tornado.
