Thought i would share this years project.
Bought the car a few months back but it just arrived in the UK 28th December.
The car was described as an long term abounded vehicle, and converted to run as a fully electric car.
Thought i might try vlogging my way through this build so here's the first installment.

Hybrid to fossil burner - 84 Sprinter Trueno (AE86)
Re: Hybrid to fossil burner - 84 Sprinter Trueno (AE86)
Just imagine how cool it would be to get the drive train out of a modern electric
car and transplant them into an AE86 !!! Cutting edge technology in an 80's classic.
Good luck with the project... you have a lot of work ahead of you
Cheers... jondee86

Yes, I thought I was alone in being sad about seeing the electric drivetrain go
Your future setup does sound pretty fun though.

Well the DC motor that's currently in the car won't make for an entertain drive. Would be nice to put a more modern setup in but for a private low budget project i can't image it would be cheap.
I found the entrance sheet for its best lap time round Tsukuba at 1:34 which isn't great I'm sure we've all produced a better time on GT.
But this was over 13 years ago using electric power technology from that time.

I think the fastest time is just barely under a minute with the most modified and money engineered Spoon EG if I'm not mistaken.
Still pretty cool, gives me hope my 30-year old car will make hippies happy some day
You are right though, the chassis is a big enough money pit, I can't imagine one with a DC motor..
Love the color, do you happen to know the paint code?

Sadly I don't have the paint code.
But I have plenty of work with prepping the car to start and drive.

Subscribed from Long Beach California! I'll be keeping an eye on your build up to motivate my long term AE86 project.
Re: Hybrid to fossil burner - 84 Sprinter Trueno (AE86)
I would have given up before I even got started. Consider me subscribed. Good luck mate!
