I am the one currently buying 933, I’ll start a little rebuild thread here for those interested. Have big lofty plans with this car and am excited to get it rolling.933 had some accident history, nothing major (in my opinion) but enough to send repair bills sky high and salvage it. So the title is branded salvage. However it’s a really nice car with a lot of great stuff going on.
Here is the plan:
My company has been innovating and selling Tesla performance and upgrades for a few years now. This Roadster will be my third one (only one at a time) personally but it will be the first one I plan to really develop new things on (not just Service/repairs like previously). The big goal is to address what I see as the largest weak points of Roadster viability long-term. The battery packs and PEMs; we are going to develop NEW components for both (not rebuild, new). Not just new and same tho, if we are doing this we are going to go new and better, push things forward and make the cars better.
Ohmmu performance spec goal; >300mi range and <3.0s 0-60 time
First steps;
Brake system upgrade;
2-piece rotors, 4-piston front calipers and 2-piston rear calipers, racing pads
Suspension upgrade;
Nitron set with adjustable dampening and height
Tires;
Toyo R888R in rear (track tires) and Neova (stock) tires in front. Same sizes
Cosmetics;
Repaint front and roof (they are absolutely horrible); then Paint Correction, some race/marketing branding and PPF shield all over
At this point it’ll be ready for phase 1, which is just get comfortable with tracking it and getting it involved in EV events where people will see it and get excited. Hopefully this results in some good marketing value for my company which results in additional revenue which will open up the funding channels for Phase 2 and 3.
Phase 2;
PEM
-New upgraded megapole boards; increase current handling capability by 30%
-Upgraded cooling; design new heat-sink plate with liquid cooling and add radiators where the current blower fans are. Possible* add another refrigerant/compressor system with heat exchanger at PEM heat-sink.
At this point the PEM will be capable of 30% power-boost, we will see how much more we can go... then more track events and promotion
Phase 3;
Battery pack
Develop new drop-in “track-pack” battery system. 65+ kWh capacity, 180Ah. Increased max pack output limit to 1,000A (hardware changes). Reduce weight >100lbs
At this point the entire vehicle will be capable of a 25-30% power boost over the 288kW stock... target is 360+kW output... motor cooling may have to be looked into at this point as well... without air ducting from bottom fans to PEM there will be a little space for more motor cooling...
Anyways, Phase 1 will be done within 30-days
I did a little more thorough inspection today and happy to say the CAC on 933 is 155 right now... when is last time a non-3.0 pack has been over 150?
Will try to update with photos of progress here, should be a lot of fun!!!
