Bold of you to assume any of my projects are drivable...
windraver@reddit
Lol. I put an electric motor in mine :)
Rwd mid "engine" electric Honda CRX. It was cheap to fill before but now its sipping electrons.

You didn’t put an engine in the front for AWD goodness? Put the batteries where that passenger seat used to be to balance out the car, and you’re good.
windraver@reddit
So this is my 5th iteration of my never ending project lol
https://www.crxcommunity.com/threads/winds-pop-up-86-crx-si-electric-mid-engine-vehicle.15743/
I did an engine rebuild. An engine swap. An EV conversion. A battery upgrade and restructure. And finally a RWD conversion.
The CRX is FWD and with the battery in the back, it was 50:50 weight balance. This is problematic because the CRX is usually 60:40 so instant torque just means I'm always peeling out at take off.
And for the longest time I wanted RWD. I did consider AWD but I doubt I'll ever do it because I'm running out of space in the CRX. Half the battery is already in the front of the car now along with the power distribution module. In the rear. I have the motor, inverter, and the other half of the battery.
Realistically I'd be done but my battery somehow backed imbalanced so I'm trying to force it to balance, or else I'll have to pull the battery and replace it. Add in life and work and it's time don't currently have so I'm taking longer than I want lol.

Damn, bro. That is a cool trip, to be sure. Which way are you gonna build your CRX? Yes.

You need to get a speaker that plays Honda shirbox sounds while you are stopped at the light, then fucking smoke everyone.

Literally put $45 in my Monte to just drive everywhere and nowhere. It was worth it.

Here in Brazil we run turbocharged cars on hidrated E100, brutal octane and charge cooling, global Petrol matters a bit less.
sladebonge@reddit
Can't wait to see the price of 100+ octane at the gas station i just found online because my 93 non-ethanol station up the street just revamped and suddenly now their non-eth is 89 and i can't run it.
