I've worked on a few electrics dating back to a project in the late 90's at Chico St. More recently I've machined a couple of engine adapter plates. Both used a Ford Ranger electric motor that was produced and never used. One guy is a controls engineer and he bought his Passat for $1800 and promptly spent $25k converting it to electric- doing all the work himself including building the controller. He lives close enough to work that he can pretty much get all his energy for free from the company, which is a huge solar panel mfg. Back in the Chico St days a controller was about $30k and the batteries we used were $10k each and we had 26 of them in the Saturn. The thing would roast the tires and had about a hundred mile range.

That appears to be the 07-09 GT500 option (M-7213-J), with reverse on the opposite side of the shift pattern.

The T2 Torsen diff is now available. Only 1000$... See my first post.

Question for dummies... what's the difference between the Torsen T2 that costs $1k and the $550 one from AmericanMuscle? I know they're different part numbers, but what's the difference, mechanically?

Boss roof colors: does anyone know what the correct colors and paint codes are for the white, black, and red roofs? My guess it the white roof on the KB is high performance white, HP, but I need to know for sure for when I get my LS spoiler painted.

All the oem stuff is even missing from the oem section. I'm hunting the hood decal, splash guards and has anyone heard anything on the frpp seats? Not doing another summer on the 401A seats

Got to sit in a set of the seats, and man I really, really need a set. Can't wait to get under a set to see if they can be modified to have a sub belt slot.

Yeah, I've kinda let my inquiries go, as he has much more to deal with in life than answer parts q's for me.

By the way, Miller isn't cutting the seats to add sub belts to their Bosses.

If you look at the fordparts.com web site. You will see that the Recaros are basically the regular GT seats with different padding and with side bolster supports bolted on. So you should be able to know about the sub belt installation from your existing seats.

Looking at a breakdown of the frame, it appears difficult, but not impossible.

From what I've seen it all comes up as multiple parts. Parts guys get confused as there are quite a few components required to complete a 'seat'.

and maybe that was the issue. With the higher revving Boss seeing some track duty, they must have a revised alternator that will withstand the harder use.

Boss alternator was noted in that 16-page 5.0 magazine spread. Same thing for the drive belt.
