I plan to use the MC spaces all winter. The bikers wont mind.

Dont be surprised to see em, at least on the rear. 1 part to install vs 2 (more actually - mounting parts, etc) = simpler and lighter. Pure Elio.

Dang. I was hoping from the first paragraph that I might get to see the Elio at Chicagoland this weekend. Rats!

Same as any othe helo I suspect, gravity takes over.

CVTs are becoming popular in farm tractors. They're hard to beat there, programmed to hold either max load/speed at optimum engine speed, or hold a constant speed with minimum power and fuel. They are expensive to build, lots of intricate machining. This is much less a problem on a 150K machine...

Nothing professional. I did have a dirt track bomber car back in the day, a 77 Malibu. It was a good way to separate me from the few extra dollars I didnt spend on beer and chasing women back then. These days Im just a spectator. Mostly NASCAR, but I enjoy about anything horsepower related.

Followed on twitter. I just use it mostly for racing info, I dont have many followers nor do I say much there.

If gas stations scare you that bad, move to OR or NJ and let someone pump it for you. I just want the dang thing built. I could care less if I gotta use a turkey baster and a cymbal to fill it!

And to me, it's time to start looking for a refill Happy weekend everyone, another week in the books, and one closer to an Elio!

Just what we need, an easier way for people to be distracted by their phones... How about a gadget that blocks all cell signals while the car is running instead?

Me neither. The EPA is full of people who only see diesels as black smoke belching monsters a la the movie Duel. I'd happily check the option box for a European spec diesel, but not a retarded POS the US rules have created. Farmer, former trucker, and hater of most any diesel built since 2003.

I'm with ya. Somewhere in the last 45 pages of this thread, I've said the same thing, as a matter of fact. The pothole obsessed on this site can either stretch the trailer axle out to match the front track, or - perish the thought - back off a little from the car in front so they have time to...

I've given up. Not on Elio, but on trying to keep up with all the posts here. I'm down to just reading the ones that catch my interest, mostly the more technical ones. That ain't a bad thing, I'm just too busy...

I did kinda goof on my first post mentioning the column. What I was envisioning was a normal shifter mounted to the right side of the dashboard.

I looked the Kohler up last night. It's 2000 bar, sorry I don't have the conversion handy, but much higher than 2000psi. It also uses cooled EGR and is well over 500 lbs.

Dusty, I used to own a couple 3 on the trees. The big difference is newer shifters are cable controlled. Those old linkages were solid, and depended on a body to frame mount that didn't sag or flex too much. That caused a lot of trouble in rusty older cars.

It was easier to do it that way with my phone than wait for my 6 year old desktop to start up!
