So I gather no one has ever pulled the tone ring out of the front hub
and checked if a rear axle would fit? I did not remove it because it requires removing the shock, but unbolted it and measured what I could and it the splines are the same, the tone ring looks the same size, so that is good sign.

What shock/strut is short enough? Honda Accord?
I'm going to measure the rear strut later today.

Any suggestions on removing the gas tank? There is another EV boxster, and he had hell getting it out, ended up just chipping it out with a sawzall, must be a better way?

I also need to do something about the power steering. Was thinking of using a prius electric rack, but it is rear steer, boxster is front steer. There is always an electric pump, but don't like that at all, no fluids, just current, is the best way.
How tough will it be without the power steering?

I'm guessing the car will be about 500lbs lighter in autocross trim with 60 seconds of juice on board.

Also while I'm posting, been thinking of redoing the center console to put the supercaps inside the 'tunnel'. I assume the tunnel is a structural part of the car,
so it will need to be rebuilt with some strength, right?
