much excite!
Body shop claims Evo will be complete at the beginning of next week!

I'm working my way through the pack configuration for the first drive. To reduce variables for initial testing, I will use this 24S module configuration. I've tested 36 of the 96 cells in this configuration and they look good thus far. I eagerly anticipate the performance I believe these cells will deliver when discharged at a higher rate.





Remaining components for motor-gearbox unit. Hopefully I can find some time to put it all together, so it can drop right in when the Evo returns.

I had a horrible day at work, am likely to have another horrible day tomorrow, and have been sick since last Thursday.

Somehow, this update actually helps. Keep 'em comin'!!!

Went by to check out work, looks good.

They made an adjustment to the passenger side strut tower, but were unable to quantify the amount. They also hit the radiator support with some paint and glued the frame rail-apron joint. I wasn't able to give their work the white glove treatment, but at first glance I'm pleased. Here are a couple shots of the car on the frame machine.

Back From Body Shop!

Three months later, its back in my garage!





Clean and new.





TOB was looking tired.





Very pleased with paint and adhesive work, looks much cleaner. One more mount to fabricate before transfer case and front axles go in.

ancillary projects

I have several parts orders incoming that will allow me to finish motor positioning and installation of the remaining drive-line components. Until they arrive, I will concern myself with other aspects of the vehicle that require attention. The tint that was previously installed would have caused an inspection failure. I had a free hour yesterday, so I started removing it.


Using heat and an ammonia based cleaner, I was able to separate the adhesive from the glass.





Admittedly, my method produced varying results.





Almost finished before I had to call it quits.

I am extremely jealous of this car! I can't wait to do this to my evo X some day when the technology has grown into the standard. Although I'm hoping for hydrogen powered generators to become the norm as opposed to using batteries:P

Thanks for the kind words! It's really encouraging. At times it seems there is an infinite amount of work to be done before its a real street car. I'm taking some vacation days next week and hope to have the entire transmission installed and the battery pack prepped for installation as well.
