So what’s next?
Since I’ve been driving Trans Amped it has been more difficult to work on it. With it formally up on ramps and jackstands it was no problem to crawl under and do stuff. Now I basically have to setup before working and I don’t like doing that.
So I haven’t done anything in a while but up next is removing the power steering pump and A/C and associated brackets. That will probably be about 50 lbs out of the front end and will allow much more flexibility in my control board layout. I’ve got an idea of making an enclosure where wires go in, wires go out and everything else is hidden. Now that the car is moving and people are seeing it I’m going to be more careful about making the ability to tap into the full pack voltage, currently about a foot apart, a little more difficult.
Also on the agenda:
- Figure out a heater to use before it gets cold.
- Change the battery regulators wiring to 10 guage and relocate the regulators off battery
- Rear battery cover and carpet modification
- Relocate front battery regulators to a drier spot
- Fix the manual steering rack. The alignment shop said it wasn’t centered and they can’t align it because the tie rod is all the way in already and the toe is still out.
