[Tim Kutscha]

Hello Everyone,

  I hope your week went well.  I'm putting my electric Civic on the market
for anyone who wants to tinker but doesn't have a huge amount of time to
do their own conversion.

Cheers,
Tim

For Sale:  ELECTRIC '92 Honda Civic 4-door  $8950/firm

Fight rising gas prices and show your freedom from foreign oil by
purchasing an all-electric vehicle!

No gasoline. No oil changes. No tuneups. No emissions testing.  No kidding!

Costs less than those 25mph-limited neighborhood electric vehicles and
goes highway speeds while seating five people with trunk space.

- Netgain Warp9 motor takes the car up to 85mph top speed
- Locally built Synkromotive DC-700 controller with USB interface
- RPM sensor on motor tailshaft prevents over-revving motor
- 144V pack with twelve Lifeline GPL 31-T AGM batteries (100Ahr each)
- Batteries are 1.5 years old and have 5000 miles on them
- Belktronix charger(8 amp to pack) with integrated DC-DC converter(50 amp)
- Pulls 12 amps max from a standard 110VAC outlet for charging
- Full shunt balancing system to keep batteries balanced and charged right
- Balancers are temperature compensated and have military-grade external
  shunt resistors to prevent localized heating near batteries
- Link-10 E-meter and PakTrakr to monitor battery health.  PakTrakr
  has serial interface with 2MB logging memory and serial-USB cable
- High quality transmission adapter plate made of aircraft-grade aluminum
  from ElectroAutomotive.  This adapter keeps the clutch for easy motor
  disconnect and fast shifting.  This 5-speed will never stall.
- Brake system assisted by Swiss-made MES 70/6E vacuum pump
- Modified suspension with coil-overs and custom springs from Ground Control
- Range is 20 miles at 55 mph on freeway, more if going slower, less in cold
- Best for 10 miles between charges to maintain battery life
- Pioneer CD player with 50Watt per channel stereo
- BONUS: Comes with HP Mini Netbook to monitor controller/PakTrakr
- Extras: charging cord with timer, spare parts box, 100ft extension cord
- Minor downsides: manual steering; no heater or AC; no battery heaters

I'm looking for a buyer who wants to learn the inner workings of the car.
I will be happy to spend time going over the details so you can maintain
and upgrade your vehicle.  The price is less than the cost of all the
components combined and you don't have to spend countless hours doing 
your own conversion.

I will be happy to talk to you about the pros and cons of owning this
vehicle so you get an accurate picture of what's involved.  I want to make
sure this all-electric car meets your needs and you fully enjoy it!
