If you scroll to the top of this page you will see where it says "EcoModder Forum > Introductions > Car conversion to 3 wheels". If you click on Ecomodder Forums and pick some thing or other, like General Efficiency Discussion, or Hybrids, or DIY/How-to you will have possibly a more suitable result. Personally, I don't mind people bumping old threads but Introductions is an odd place to do it.
