electric cars are the future.. once most of chinas population is driving cars in about 5-10 years and have more people buying petrol than the americans, petrol bowsers are going to be a thing of the past as soon as the oil prices triple, which will mean a direct translation to the petrol pump.

I bitch about $60 to fill my tank now.. in 10 years it wont suprise me if we're looking at $150-$180 for the same tank.

My GTR truly will be a weekend car, and 5 years later be old enough to qualify as a classic car :P

Assuming I still have it by then..

Lithium Ion Batteries have quite a punch...

They have more power and less weight than the nI -cads but from my limited knowledge in RC they can be quite unstable....They burst into flame if you drop them hard enough or over charge them :P ...

I am sure there would be less wheels when they have more powerful electic engines...

I heard about that car a while ago... i like it looks sick.

Imagine in 20-30yrs time the first electric GTR... FAT! Better yet a revival of the 60-70's shaped cars with electric engines!! I'd love to see my GT back on the road without having to pay for the petrol (sure no v8 growl but you can't have it all).

... well.. actually I'm dreaming that won't ever happen, I can see the men in black suits arriving now. :uzi:

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
