I would like to know the size and fitment of the subwoofer as well along with detailed specifications. If the radio upgrade has a frequency response of 80-20k (completely unacceptable), it is likely that the standard radio is nothing more than a place and wire holder for a quality aftermarket...

Right on, brother. I refer to it as a "motorcycle with roof."

IIRC, the position was EM wanted to make cruise control standard, if it was possible at the $6800 price point. The AMT option was expected to add $800 to $1000 and I did not find either situation particularly unreasonable. Of course I would have liked to have cruise as standard - but holding the...

Exactly. Or you can do it the way Ross did, or the way Mel does, or any way that floats your boat. The anniversary method is the only way to go.

88 mph is just enough for my flux capacitor... :cool2:

Correct, so do what I do and have "anniversaries" :dance: Thanks! Me, too, I think.:ranger:

IIRC, the Elio will be designed to do lateral acceleration in the 0.8 range. (please correct) That's pretty damn good. To put that in perspective, if there were room and one could continue the circle, one could stand quite easily on the inner door (or nondoor turning left) I think it's going to...

For your consideration: it occurred to me a long time ago that driving on snow (or other lower traction surfaces for you lucky folks who live far from the Great White North) very accurately simulates the vehicle's performance at much higher speeds - neglecting pesky body roll and pitch. Further...

I am not sure why, however I believe it is related to the reason that people cannot remember to use an indicator when turning or changing lanes but have no difficulty driving for miles with an indicator on and not turning.

Unbelievable. I have ridden my "toys" as far south as Fort Myers, as far west as Madison and as far north and east as Cape Spear, Newfoundland which is where North America runs out of "east". I don't know if this guy has a death wish or is just a troll. I know several Texan motorcyclists, all of...

I truly enjoy watching top gear whilst buffing my spanners... I would also at this time like to state that I am sorely in need of a tongue-in-cheek "smilie" or a dedicated sarcasm font. Strangely, neither of which have anything whatsoever to do with fibreglas.

It was recorded in GB, where the electricity is metric and 50 Hz (also Europe for the most part uses the PAL video solution and some nosepic forced it badly into NTSC, jammed in a fixed background to try to hide the lo-res conversion and then posted it to youtube.)

the iihs "good" rating is only given to a prius v with an optional lighting package which is only available (of course) on the highest trim level. nonetheless, it is an "off the shelf" part. "The Prius v earns a good rating when equipped with LED lights and high-beam assist. To get those...

regarding the results of the new iihs headlight testing initiative, specifically massive fails from bmw and other luxury/performance vehicles where apparently styling comes at the expense of performance, I truly hope that Paul being an engineer is going to deliver a vehicle with headlights that...

And I can finally have on the Elio what I have always felt I needed when riding a motorcycle, surface to idiot missiles! :laser:

What I was getting at is the site said those engines consume 1.09 lb/lbf/hr (max) and produce 292 lbs. of thrust. So that's 1.5 gal. of jp1/min (for two) to produce a continuous 584 lbs. of thrust! If you did that for 2 1/2 minutes, you would be going really, really fast. Tyre shredding, bearing...

Dunno, those "turns" would get dodgy on the high side of 300 mph. Wouldn't have to worry about the soccer mom van passing you, though.

Why, yes, of course I used my Whitworth spanners - they're the only ones that fit that antique iron! (Why do Brits drink warm beer? Lucas makes refrigerators...)

You would have a steady acceleration of about 0.4 G - although that might diminish a bit above 150 or 200 mph. Personally, I would want a very long road to do that for 2 1/2 minutes... :plane:

Haha, perhaps - I have changed the sparkling plugs and gudgeon pins on a BSA - after checking the colour, of course. (One should always use new gudgeon pins when fitting new pistons.)
