Made some business cards to hand out for car shows. Weather permitting, I'll be at Electrify Expo - Austin next week!

Hi, I read on another thread somewhere you were exploring using the GS450H VSS to drive your Speedo. Did you achieve this? If so, how? Thanks

Yes, I have a digital signal converter that drives my mechanical speedometer. The GS450h has a 15 tooth exciter ring and you have to know things like tire diameter (or rev per mile) but it's pretty easy to set up. I don't know that it's this exact model, but similar:

You could also do it purely on GPS with something like this:

I also have a GPS driven head up display and am calcing MPH in my VCU to send to a custom display and they all agree on speed (head up, Display, speedo).

Great fun with one of our own on his DIY EV YouTube channel.

Even when we say "finished", are we really ever truly done? Needed to make a special tool to change out the front springs on the 660e.

That interior looks amazing, where from are the seats?

Seats are from a 2017 Mustang GT

A bit from Electrify Expo in Austin, though we had crappy weather this year.

Also, I finally got around to changing my get_torque code to incorporate @Bryson one-pedal(ish) driving code. Wow! What a difference it makes in the smoothness of my drivetrain! Thanks @Bryson !

Those coolant bottles for electronics and battery look like came from the Chevy Bolt. I purchased one to use in my conversation too. Could you please share which connector you've used for the coolant level sensor? Thanks in advance.

I don't have anything that checks the coolant level, other than visually looking at them.

Crazy as it may be, I think I will need to sell this car. I'm listing my house and won't have any place for it. I have no idea how to even begin to value it.

I would sell the Volvo.

Damn, that's too bad.

With how clean your build is, Bring a Trailer might be a good option.

that will have to go as well. I'll be carless.

Bring A Trailer auction is live.

Wow at the bids already! I'm rooting for you, really curious to see how this does on BaT! Did you set a reserve?
