With only half the pack I only have half the voltage (and half the hp) but it's a blast to drive, I have a turbo transmission (car was an NA) and I start in 2nd gear with ~300ft lbs right away the acceleration blows away my wife's '83 944. I peak out at around 135hp right now but with the massive torque it's still fun to drive.
I'll get some video when I get the instrumentation in the car so I can keep an eye on voltage/current/battery temp and capacity remaining. No problem roasting the tires in 1st gear, but 2nd hooks up nice with good acceleration.
I have a range of ~45km right now, when it's finished I'll have a range of around 100km which is plenty for my daily routine and a little fun too.

Had a guy come by and have a look at my cab on the weekend, but couldn't make a deal, but ended up more interested in my dd 944..It is not even for sale..sorta. Everything is for sale for the right price right?

Wife was driving and noticed the driver side mirror rattling in the enclosure. she went to touch the reflective surface and caught it just as it began to fall. now need to find out best material to re adhere...

The first time the glue failed on my driver's mirror, I noticed it as I shut the door. "Huh that's funny it looked like the mirror moved..." Touched it and it fell off. I happened to catch it at least... and picked up some "mirror glue" from the parts store. Used their special cleaner, etc. Applied it. It lasted 3 months... and fell off. That time, on the highway.
What's odd is that all 3 mirrors I've lost, I've noticed it right before it fell off. Catch something out of the corner of my eye, look over, and see it fall.
I've wound up just buying new ones from Pelican. IIRC they're under $20.

Weekend fun on the 951, installed the Rouge A-Tune, installed a "new" front control arm (discovered the PO replaced the passenger side, but the drivers side looked to be the original (at 180k that is sort of scary). So now the car goes as good as she looks, and after taking her to an auto-x proved that 80's tech can keep up with the newest cars from Porsche......

Did some more sanding and prep work on my valance... Pita. Definitely couldn't do bodywork for a living.
