Hey all, Yeah, I've been a bit of a stranger around here for a loooong time - but am now back on track, EV Style ;) My EVCapri is in need of a couple of TS-90's. Could buy new ones, but getting new ones to mesh with my 5 year old pack presents issues. Anyone got a couple of reasonable ones lying aro...

Latest from Sky Energy: "Sorry for all the inconvenience and bad feelings coming to you. I understand you felt bad about that. So do i. Last week we've consulted the bank, someone told us abbreviation is ok. But actually, they kept the money. I communicated directly with them this afternoon. Finally...

Guess what? I was all ready to rant about these great cells, but Sky Energy seem to have lost the funds I transferred. No, I'm not kidding....it's been 14 days since the funds left my account. AND SE have confirmed the account details I used were correct. AND, to top it all off, I've just been told ...

Heya Tassie: I'll fix the link to Nathans site as soon as I can...and will also have a better copy of the video up (pending getting a digital 16x9 version from woody...!)

Ha! At least the reporter pronounced my name properly - I NEVER get that in 'real life'!!
Hey Bebsta - double ha!

Hey Htial - if you wanna contact me off site, I'd love to grab whatever the highes res format you've got it as - I'll re-encode it and chuck it up on the evcapri website. I have an ftp server - useful to ya?

....for anyone who's interested, I recorded the 11am TEN news bulletin on my cameraphone - Nathan's in the story too! That's a one / two finish for the AEVA! Huzzahs!!! I just uploaded it to www.evcapri.com .
It's also on at 5 tonight. I'll put a 'proper' version up on the site when I get one...

NEWSFLASH- I just got a call from channel 10 - it;'s going to be on at 11am today, and 5pm (as mentioned before).

Hey all, I finally watched the segment last night - well, at least the second half of it. Is it common knowledge yet that they had installed an old Kostov motor - which (I'm told) spins the WRONG way around - thus, they had 4 speeds in reverse and 1 speed forwards - THAT's why they couldn't get the ...

Hey all - it's been changed to TOMORROW night!

The story will air nationally at 5pm and the repeat at 10pm too.

Hey all, yeah...it's been a while coming.... I'll be on TEN news tomorrow at 5pm (Wednesday 20th May 2009) with the EV Capri. A reporter I met at the Green Car initiative earlier this year has kept in touch, and we just finished shooting the story for the news! I plan to put the story up on evcapri....

Funny that less than 48hrs after that episode, I'll be on TEN news with the EV Capri.... http://forums.aeva.asn.au/smileys/smiley2.gif ...and I said hi to all you guys, individually. And I mentioned your phone numbers, aliases on the forums etc etc... No, but serioulsy, TEN news tomorrow at 5. They ...

Hi Matt, A 1k or 2k Zilla is a bit of a given, I realized a little while ago that a Curtis just wasn't going to cut it. I also realize drawing the sort of amps it is going to need is going to reduce the capacity fairly dramatically. Problems is as Andrew pointed out I don't know if I am really going...

Hi Peter: Different weight distribution
Hi Woody: Looks like I found a good spring guy in Parramatta. yep - the guy own/runs the joint - good advice.
Hi EV2Go: Ha! Nah - you're off the hook. Getting it done next week. See y saturday!

Ha! I bought a bunch of LED panels for a different project a few weeks back - and yes, I noticed they also had the LED bulbs....guess I should've bought 'em then, and combined the shipping ;-) In other news, I need a recommended suspension mob to do some springs for the EV Capri - I've just found th...

Hey Valen, email me thru evcapri.com, and we'll do it. I'm thinking I'd keep it simple - ge rego'd with bulbs, then fit the LED modules afterwards - you can buy 'em in the same bayonet fitting, ready to swap in/out in a second! Saw them on eBay...so yes, I'll get that happening. Of course, re HID he...

Here's the news: The EV Capri is ALIVE!!!! I took it for a test drive up the road with Paul and Duncan as passengers: all went well. Things to do: Think about a manual steering rack....it's a bit heavy, but that of course, is with crappy old tyres. Put the Brake Vacuum Booster in a soundproof box - ...

Cheesy, I know.......but, hmm...... thoughts?

Actually, I now have a mate editing the next few episodes...He'll be picking up tapes on Sunday (yeah, I've gotten that busy...but I don't wanna let the EV Capri-watching public down - I mean, half of 'em know where I live!!). In other news, I got roped into giving an EVCapri and electric cars in ge...

(This is me not feeling pressured.......)

Heya Woody,
Hmm - Christies Capri got past ok
And I've steered while having the car pusheed...was pretty easy (ie: no wieght in the front..>). Time will tell....

Progress report on the EV Capri Hey all, Gotta say - I have been putting a LOT more time into the EV Capri than usual (read as: no new episode ready yet!) - here are some photos of how it's all looking at the moment. On the home stretch....! http://forums.aeva.asn.au/uploads/254/battery_box_open.jpg...

Geez- Seems I'm the only one who posts here anymore!! Well, here's whats going on 'EV Capri'-wise... *   The batteries are in the car, and the back seat will go back on no prob *   The Curtis controller is ready to go (Had to go Curtis - Ian Hooper is still fine-tuning his controller design and does...

Yeah, I heard about the comments on the show from a mate. It'd be a case of if the show were seen to be 'pro-EV', (thus, anti ICE), then the sponsors and suppliers of the cars and toys that actually make up the shows content might be a bit miffed. A bit of a 'don't bite the hand that feeds you' synd...
