David's 2001 Civic EV (80-100 mile range; 65+ MPH; 8 second 0-60)
Last week I started the build on my new EV, a 2001 Civic EX. My old 1996 Civic EV did me well for 4 years of fun and learning, but the body was starting the need work and the lead acid batteries had worn out. I decided it was time for a rebuild with more fun and range in it.
So here are my goals for this EV: - 80 to 100 Miles Range - 65+ MPH - 8 second 0-60 - Use the J1772 charging stations I am using my FB1-4001a with the coupling and plates from the older Civic, my Zilla Z1K-LV, 45 cells of CALB 180 AH, Elcon 2KW charger and a much nicer Civic with a perfect body. Right now I have the engine and muffler stripped out, the electric motor mounted to the manual transmission with a stage 4 clutch and all the parts sitting in my bedroom waiting to be installed. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-40ocmRMIRG...0/IMG_2560.JPG My blog has most of the fun stuff: 2001 Civic EX EV Coupe Conversion |

I'll try posting pictures later tonight before I run off for a week long vacation. |
Are you aiming to have it done by the end of this month? (Did I see that mentioned on the blog?)

Today I had planned on getting the motor installed this morning, but I had to run off to do some shopping for vacation and pickup a new front motor mount. I also had misplaced a bolt and once I got everything nearly installed we found the axle had a much higher diameter than the 1996 Civic did! So out everything went and then I had to remove the entire coupling system to cut wider holes at the axle area. Well it was a good 8 hours this afternoon and we finally got the motor installed! Well mostly, I have two mounts to bolt down, but the rain came and I had to return the hoist to my neighbor so I'll finish the bolting next Sunday when I return. I'm just having too much fun building this EV, I really like having all the main components with me, I always have something to work on and I feel like I'm accomplishing things everyday. |
Going over to the blog to check this out more:D.
