Re: What would you buy & why?
That crazy speed comes from the simple physics that rotation does not stop/start the way oscillation does. My only regret with Tesla is that the design could give The Ford Sierra a run for it's money in the title: "Jelly Mould." Why couldn't they be inspired by the aerodynamic shapes of those creat...

Re: breakdown truck
The provenance of the second one must be worth something, if you know who Charles Trenet was. I do, and I expect GHT does, being a gentleman of similarly mature years.

Re: Alternator upgrades/replacement from different vhicles
You need to choose an alternator with a built in regulator. Recent cars have the alternator controlled by the ECU, which would probably not be compatible with your Neon. The other factors to consider would be the mountings, whether the pulleys line up and the type of pulley. Alternators of the power...

Re: What would you buy & why?
Sounds a lot of money for a non-runner, RHD cars must be hard to shift in France. You need to find out exactly what's wrong and how much it would cost to fix. My innate cynicism tells me that if it were something simple the seller would have done it.

Re: Q's on A/C Compressors changes in displacement & effect
I haven't used Alibaba either, but they are a Chinese company so I would be inclined to treat them with caution. The other point that crosses my mind is the power consumption of the electric unit. You would be imposing a large additional load on the electrical system and you may need to upgrade the ...

Don't think you need pedals on that.
