edward ericson replied to the topic So, you want an Electric TD?? in the forum General Discussion 11 years, 2 months ago

I’d like to see this. And know the price.

The Warp 9 is the motor you want for this, if you’re going DC. But all the action (and a lot of money and trouble, usually–the more of one the less of the other) is in the controller.

What’s the maker and spec on that?

Roy,

I’m far from a picasaweb expert…but this portion of the url in your link (viewer#album/tr3rdster/5837463939218092225,authkey:Gv1sRgCKLP8ZjZmo3eew) makes me think the link is to a secure section of the picasaweb website.

When soneone other than the owner of that secure section tries to access the site, picasaweb does not allow us in, a…

Don’t work for me either, goes to some picture web site.
Royal replied to the topic So, you want an Electric TD?? in the forum General Discussion 11 years, 2 months ago

Paul, i’m confused. Again.

When I click the link in my post I get 12 pics of the build and the,much slower than a speeding bullet, completed Yugo.

Seems to work for me.
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic So, you want an Electric TD?? in the forum General Discussion 11 years, 2 months ago

Roy,

The link looks good in your email, but it resolves to https://picasaweb.google.com/m when you either click it or copy it.

Steve Struchen replied to the topic Soob swap in the forum VW Based Kits 11 years, 2 months ago

Outstanding.

And we’re running.

Turns out I had the fuel pump in backwards. It was just blowing bubbles into the gas tank until I turned it around.

Then she started right up.

Congrats. Hope you told the new owner about this site.
edward ericson replied to the topic Soob swap in the forum VW Based Kits 11 years, 2 months ago

Yeah. The list of things to do is still pretty long though.

I think maybe the fuel injectors are stuck. the car/engine sat most of a year with no fuel on them.

Back at it.

Sold… and delivered
Royal replied to the topic Soob swap in the forum VW Based Kits 11 years, 2 months ago

Great news Ed. I can imagine that you are really anxious for a ride.
edward ericson replied to the topic Soob swap in the forum VW Based Kits 11 years, 2 months ago

Got her to fire, but cheated & used starting fluid to do it. Gonna have to fool with the fuel system a bit more.

But it seems as though the basic concept is operable: The ecu works; the car will run.

greg, is that with you in it, or not?
secretagentcat replied to the topic Wife says we don't need two of them! in the forum Running MGTD Kits Cars for Sale 11 years, 2 months ago

I have two, myself. My wife tried to say something but I stopped her and reminded her that what we paid for her Lincoln Navigator I could have a fleet of kits and drive a different one to work each day of the week… She never said another word.As for the pricing, if you do sell, I paid $6,000.00 for mine and feel that I got a great deal. I had…[Read more]

greg press replied to the topic How much does my TDr weigh in the forum General Discussion 11 years, 2 months ago

When I went to DMV the first time to register it. The DMV dude ask how much does it weigh. He said I would need a computer print out of its weight Took it to a local gravel pit. The scale guy was into the car so there was no charge . 1,846 lbs
edward ericson replied to the topic How much does my TDr weigh in the forum General Discussion 11 years, 2 months ago

I like your method, Roy, since you get the weight over each wheel, which can be interesting and even important.
