Oh, silly me for assuming. You said:

the motor is there to be close to the drive wheels for efficiency and closer to the batteries.

But obviously I'm just making assumptions. Even if you're going with shorter cabling because "its cleaner", that doesn't change the fact that for the cabling to be shorter, the batteries have to be right next to the motor.

awd eclipse , I never said I was going to use an AWD , so thanks for assuming I was going to, so you could have another invalid point to argue , since when you put the crx information it pretty much cancels out to where you can choose this or the other but put it in a way , that makes it sound like there are two problems...

Ah, so you're going with a FWD Eclipse, which is actually HARDER to do that the AWD. So include everything I said about the Eclipse, and add that you'll have to adapt axles and suspension (from, surprise, an AWD Eclipse) if you want to get any power to the rear wheels. And then enjoy having that motor and tranny hanging off your suspension. It's going to ride like a garbage truck.

I how there are so many help forums out there , that dont really have people on there that try to help. just make assumptions to criticize , criticize is fine as long as there is understanding and conversation , not ignorance and bashing.

You asked for a list of what you would need to do to make it work. I gave it to you. Take my list and go to any other forum, and after they stop laughing, they will agree with everything I said, and probably list another 20 fabrication steps I haven't even thought of.

I love how you put in hyperbole figures for a 0-60 time on the bmw when in fact it theoretically it would have a faster 0-60 time. Which I mentioned when I started my posts it was not ment to be a racing , or thrill ful car but for mpg , so yet again another assumption that you must of not paid attention to or completely disregarded to make another false validation for a point.

You're thinking of converting a 4,000+ pound car to electric, insisting that the motor be in the rear, because you're going for MPGs. Yeah, good luck. And good luck with faster 0-60 times; it will take about $40,000 in motor and batteries.

Goodbye , there are better forums , no offense to other members on the board. Just the ones who do not read just pounce with made up information. If you have questions to ask for your concerns ask them before you criticize to get a picture or else miscommunication just annoys people.

Absolutely. You hop right on over to the Bimmer forums and tell them you want to buy a rare 6-speed 850i, rip out the V-12, cut out the floor to convert it to rear engine, and install an electric motor and several thousand pounds of batteries and let us all know how that works out for you.
