Matt the owner of the battery company is selling these to the mines and they are running them in factory Toyota mine vehicles

And are having no dramas charging off existing charging system standard alternators are fine he assures me.

I am right into R/C planes and run a lot of lithium polymer and charging has got a lot easier over the years with a higher C ratingswe can now smash the amps into them without too much fear of fire or explosions. (brands and C ratings vary a lot)
 some modellers run the ION phosphate but i am told they are very user friendlly cells not finiky and volatile like LIPO,s.

Got sent a pic of the rims diff is getting narrowed tommorow.
Sent to Altra 9 for bigger bearing carriers and 31 spline billet axles.
Also they will install harrop tru trac centre.
I like the rims polished but i think powdercoating with hubcaps was the look i was after.

Nice Pete,don't bother getting the the diff shortened.Just jack it up 4 inches and radius the guards so the wheels can poke out the sides just like they did in the 70's/80's!!! Tongue Grin

those wheels are soooooooooo good
i would paint the centre white and leave the hoop polished
everyone always disagrees when i say that though
when anyone asking me my opinion
to each his own
those rims will be great no matter what
i have dreamt about a big standard lookin rim for years
i LOVE it

I'm really impressed with the look and stance that your car is going to have Pete. I can see that you will have a similar problem to mine. I have 15 x 10 Centrelines on the rear of my project sedan and I hope that I never have a flat tyre out on the road. I think I will need 2 jacks and may have to drop the coil over shock off just so that I can get the wheel out of the wheel well! I was originally going to have longer competition style wheel studs but couldn't even get the wheel on, so I stuck with standard studs. I love the progress you are making and keep the photos coming, your work is inspiring.
Regards Ole.

Was sent some pics today from the boys at the chop shop.

Chop Chop

Really hope the powder coating and hubcap makes a difference on the front or im going to order a set of 17s

They look a bit like a doof doof car all polished up.
hopefully we get the front end finalised soon.
