well looks like the roadster is finally back on the road.
cooling issues solved with new alum. rad. and twin 4000 cfm elec. fans
You can hear the emi from the two 25 amp motors. In the video I posted in the General Disc. forum, you can hear the fans emi as car backs past camera and coming back down the road.

Well now it's time for some road trips.

Nice clean installation!

What controls the fans now? Are they automatic, or do you have a command switch in the cockpit?

currently they're automatic. I toyed with putting switches for both then the possibility of forgetting to turn them on. Then I thought I'd leave one automatic and put a switch for one fan as in reasonable weather it will cool fine on a single fan. Fact is, There is no electrical draw in this car so running 2 25 amp fans really isn't a big deal in the overall picture and it's idiot proof. I can use idiot proof.

Did you check out the short video I put in the general thread? What do you think?

I did see that video. It sounds like a corvette going away, and like an AV8-B Harrier coming foreword. How do you like the gearbox so far?
