Excellent conversion, thanks for the video. Really well done

[@Talus1]

Nice job! I’d love to see a driving video of the converted car.

Wow that is ao wild about the track banning EVs. Especially the part about lithium 12v batteries because those are mostly LifePo4 which are not a fire risk at all. Lithium fires are scary and a problem but a blanket ban is dumb for too many reasons to list. Just lazy thinking.

What did you use for rear fenders?

[@xzivr4894]

Those are the fiberglass fenders sold by Kinetic Vehicles. They come in a trim-to-fit size with flanges to mount to the car.

Why don't you use a 4cylinder engine? I'm building one myself, using a 2.5l Duratec, NC Miata 6 speed and NC LSD.
