Sorry if part of this shows up twice. I'm still looking for the way to get at the button for the trunk latch. Any ideas? I've had my throttle out and yes the...
It appears I've located the missing Zebra roadster from Nash Bridges, well almost. It was to be sold at an auction in Scottsdale last month with some other of...
I just spoke with John Cook at Barrett-Jackson, the auction house that handled the auction of Johnson's cars. The Xebra did not sell. In fact it never made it...
I recieved an email back from the auction house. "Thank you for your message. The car is still available at our showroom in Scottsdale. The asking price is...
My car has a horrible squeek in the front end and I've heard others have had the same problem. I took the front wheels off and the squeeks are comming from the...
So, Whats the current status of tropica/zebra? Are they still being made? Last I heard the companies were out and going out of buisness. if so are the molds...
... One sold today (serial 001 in fact) in Florida at the Klassix Museum Auction. It went for $7,000. http://cgi.liveauctions.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ...
It's hard to tell. If I search for auctions completed by Kruselive, the Tropica auction is listed as reserve not met, price $2500. I thought $2500 was the...
None of the items sold show up as having a reserve price met. That's, um, interesting, considering the description of the auction says: --> Complete closeout...
I spent a couple hours yesterday trying to get the squeeking out of my front end. The worst of it was comming from the driver side. By placing my hand on the...
Ahhhhh, I bet you that you don't have enough charge for the DC to DC convertor to provide 12v. What you might try is using a 12v battery to jumper across the...
Dave, Scott is correct. If you have the original charger it uses the 12v output of the DC-DC convertor to power it's logic board. If your pack is dead, no...
Dave, Hello. I also concur with the suggestions they made earlier. I live in West Palm Beach and own #003 with my friend Matt. I have a complete set of...
Dave, Is this the car that sold at auction last month? I know at least one other tropic_ev group member was bidding on it. Shawn, Have you guys got new...
Not yet... We have talked about it, as well as re-engineering the power system and the drive train, but still on hold for $$$ reasons. Shawn ... Thanks, Shawn...
David, Welcome and contrats on your new car. We have some of the schematics posted here and it sounds like Shawn has some as well. I've got a bunch more that I...
OK folks here's a challenge. How many Tropicas can we get to the Silicon Valley EV Rally on Sept 20th in Palo Alto Ca. I'll be there. We've got some other bay...
Steve, I doubt that I can make, especially with the car in its current condition, but can you send me details of the rally? (Just in case a miracle happens...)...
FYI. I have most of the early Tropica magazine articles and information on my website. http://www.nogas.org/ev/ But, I am missing some of the pictures, when...
It's a pleasure, I'm just having seller's remorse since I sold #13, but who knows once I clear out the garage, I may have to find another... :) Scott ... ...
Scott, Do you know anything about the new owner's plans for the car? Does he have it running? Steve ... #13, but ... for ... information ... FTP site ... (See ...
Yes, he's working on a new motor design and wants to use #13 as a testbed. If I remember correctly he's get 25 HP out of a 25 lb motor. But, that's just out of...
The range on my Tropica has been consistantly getting better with the updated charger. So much so that I've been putting off replacing the pack month after...
