This is your sign to ignore the price of fuel and go beat the shit out of your project car...

I wish I could but it was totaled by a drunk driver last month. Looking for a new shell. Go beat on yours for me!

I'm getting to a point driving my rotary swapped MX5 will be cheaper than my diesel pickup daily 😭

Bold of you to assume any of my projects are drivable...

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.

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.
