I remember the thread where you where trying to sell the motor. I was hoping you would surface again when your project got underway.

What is the weight difference between the oem motor and the electric one you are using?

Is it possible to curve a solar panel? It would really be sweet if you had a panel that followed the curve of the roof and even the hood.

You could not generate enough power from the solar on the car today but possibly soon when parked. The motor in the yaris weighs about 170-180 complete, the 9" DC is 143. I will be updating the site in the future with info on the various systems.

Looking forward to more updates We'd all love to hear about all of the technical aspects!

BTW, are you going to use the stock clutch and flywheel with the electric motor or is an upgraded one necessary? 250 lb/ft!
