Couple of reasons : 1 The boot is going to be pretty chockers with cooling related stuff - pumps, hoses, reservoir, radiators. 2 I want the HV stuff between motor and invertor, to keep HV leads as short as possible. 3 Back seat area behind passenger will be full of electronics - a lot of the stuff you see scattered in the footwell at the moment, so I've already lost one seat. 4 in all my years of 928 ownership I've hardly ever tried to put someone in the back seat - my kids are as tall as I am. Just not a priority for me. And 5 I get extra 150kg weight dispensation by being a 2-seater not a 4-seater 6. Convenience - I'd rather work on that stuff from above where it's shielded from road grime than below min the transmission tunnel. It just seemed a sensible place - grandkids - when I get some - will have to go in other cars
In the latest episode we're rebuilding the 928 brake master cylinder, so that's 928 content. But sorry to confess - a lot of what's coming up will focus on getting the EV bits working. Hopefully then we can return to making it functional, refitting the 928 interior, all the cosmetics, then finally the driving experience. But that's still in the distant future.
Great progress guys, always good to see things light up
That’s a big step forward!
I'm loving this series, Stu! Hope the updates continue to come thick and fast!
Looking forward to seeing your first illegal drive around the block.
Max yes but shhhh. I'll share with you but please don't tell anyone else OK?
Love it , no brakes but you can still drive home😂
I should qualify - that's just how it appears. I might be quite wrong. You can see we're not exactly brim full of knowledge about how the MG works
I think you need to review the noise it will make when you push the accelerator pedal (15:39). Good progress.
You're right. A bad impression. It will be a deeper rumble. A cultured V8 burble.
Great progress! No back seats for grandkids or small friends? Curious to why those HV components can't live in the boot?

When are we getting some 928 non electric updates. Looking forward from Belgium 😀

I was more thinking the noise/sound of silence.
