I just got an e-mail from Tom G.

He had promised me a vacuum canister he had laying around. Well, the just told me that he found it, WITH a 12V vacuum pump attached!!!

Next time I see him, I will get it and hook it up!


I also just got my shipment in from China, er, Ebay.



In the picture is a volt meter, an ammeter, and shunt.

The voltmeter goes up to 500v and the Ammeter up to 500 amps. The shunt looks a little wimpy for 500 amps. Since the motor is out, I don't really have any way to test that.



Hey, look at this!



All the wheels are the same color! I also have two of those little "Geo Hubs". Only two came with the car, so I put them both on the same side. At least one side looks nice that way!



Anybody know where I can get two more of these?
