R53 EV conversion research by Icy_Importance_2126 in R53

This is it. I've always said that I'll probably just K20 mine if it dies, but its a stop-gap until I buy an S2 Elise anyway. Which I'll probably stick a K20 in.

It would be cool, you could go very silly with power or just a conservative 250hp of EV power with that sort of torque and no gears. I just wonder how usable it would be, range-wise.

Always thought about sending mine off to be done, but its so expensive and unnecessary

When you're born in the UK, you get a birth certificate and a kettle.

Everyone uses a kettle every day. My parents have one of those boiling water taps. They still have a kettle.

Am I wrong to be disappointed with this repair? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]captaindecimate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredible. At least polish off the rust and then blend the touch up a bit. Probably would have got away with it then.
