electrified
i remember someone had posted a yaris engine for sale on ebay, it was probably this fellow:
http://www.electricyaris.com/ here is a working gen 1, this guy did a fantastic job: http://www.electricyaris.com/ if your car is used entirely for short commutes this would be great, but overall, probably not practical if you need the car for long trips. |

That's awesome. I think it would make for an excellent commuter/everyday runner. Besides...if you think about it, how often do you drive more than 100 miles (or 160km) in a day?
Althought, I guess you wouldn't be able to put in a bangin' stereo. |

30miles!?!? I've already gone about 2x that today and its 11am here....but I do like the idea of converting to a hybrid powered setup.
