Hello,

I am selling my Honda Civic electric conversion. 
1. Warp9 Motor
2. Logisystems 500A controller
3. TC charger (120V 1500W fully automatic)
4. 10 x 12V deep cycle batteries. (105 Ah each. Duracell from Sams club)
5. clutch and flywheel remains in the car.

the conversion is about a year old. Batteries have less than 200 miles on them. No back seat. I put most of the batteries there so that the weight distribution will be somewhat similar to having passengers. 
Manual steering. power brakes. voltmeters to monitor voltage of each battery. Ah meter to monitor the amount of charge drawn.

I had Solar panels on the roof and hood. they are off now. so the paint is sort of messed up. (It wasn't in great shape anyway)
car can reach 55 mph. has a range of about 20 miles. But I used it as a runaround car. I live 4 miles away from work. with solar panels, batteries never went down below 90%. (only had to plug it in once a week to balance the battery pack)

Now for the bad,
It's not tidy. this is a project for someone who is getting into EV conversions. you can re locate the batteries, controller etc.
currently does not have tags on it. you wont be able to take it on the highway.
No A/C.
Car has a current VA safety inspection and legal to drive on roads.

have spent close to 10K on the project. moving on to the next project. this one needs to go.
email me with any questions chinthakal@yahoo.com. send me a phone number if you want me to call/text you.
Thanks

Honda S2000, Acura RSX recalled over brake boosters

Fri, 14 Jun 2013

Honda has announced a recall that affects two of our favorite, dearly departed cars from the brand's portfolio: the S2000 roadster and Acura RSX coupe. A total of 5,239 S2000 models from the 2006 and 2007 model years are affected by this problem, as are 13,113 2006 Acura RSX models.
"A production error may have allowed brake booster components to be produced outside of the original specifications, potentially causing decreased brake assistance over time, which could increase the risk of a crash," American Honda said in a press release. Thus, dealerships will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake booster setups in these vehicles, free of charge.
No crashes or injuries have been reported in relation to this brake problem. Honda says the problem was discovered during warranty claim analysis.

How to charge up your BMW i3 with a Honda

Sat, Sep 13 2014

Behold a cheaper version of BMW's range extender for its i3 plug-in. And it's brought to you by ... Honda? Sort of, if you take the approach that Gadget Review took when it looked for an alternative to ponying up the $4,000 or so for the gas-powered i3 range extender that comes from the factory. What was procured was a Honda portable generator for Home Depot for the experiment, which involved gassing the generator up in a parking lot, plugging in the i3 and going out for a cup of coffee. The result was that, after about a half-hour of charging, the i3 picked up about four miles of driving range. Not exactly revolutionary but it least a bit instructive. And given that Honda generators start at about $800, the idea, while clunky, is potentially cash-saving. Gadget Review briefly took the experiment one-step further by trying to run the generator inside the back of the car and plugging in, complete with a rigged-up ventilation system, but the host thought better of it once he realized that there'd be suffocation involved. Why this was never tried on the Nissan Leaf, we'll never know. Check out Gadget Review's five-minute video below.
