I kinda figured it had to have ECU to keep the EFI but I was keeping my fingers crossed that there was a way around it.
As far as what my current project is... well, it will sound retarded to most. I want to make a 3-wheeled car. With modifing my bike (was my last project)I've been checking out 3-wheeled bikes & it got me thinking about a 3-wheeled car instead. Any 3-wheeled vehicle (in Texas) is titled & registered as a motorcycle. The state inspection process for a 'motorcycle' is nothing compaired to what a 'modern' car's inspection is (no smog inspection among other items). Also if you choose (or forget) to wear your seatbelt = no ticket. Only one freeway lane moving, 'motorcycles' can use the HOV lane with one person. Best of both worlds, if your out for a ride & the weather changes a bike can't put-up the top & crank-up the AC. A previous project of mine had my hands tied by the strict automotive 'state inspection process' so that also got me thinking along these lines. Originally I was looking to move the FWD set-up to the rear and 'splice' on a donor car's right side wheel set-up centered in front. Now, with it being a unibody & the shift linkage/auto issue, I'm working on how it'll work (& look) with the stock set-up & a single rear wheel. Basicaly, the two rear wheels on the Capri only supply additional breaking to the vehicle. If it had a twice as wide single rear wheel with a stronger brake unit the contact 'footprint' would be the same. Now, this vehicle wouldn't retain the stock Capri sheet metal look so it wouldn't be an obvious 3-wheeled Capri rolling down the street.
Anyway, there's a long winded view of my 'project'.
