List Of New Parts Versus Existing Parts Thread

[Snick]

Hello,

Can we try to put together a list of parts that are existing parts and which are new parts? I keep reading this notion that "the majority of the parts of the Elio are existing parts", but I can't quite see it. So let's try a list to get a better understanding. Please add to the list by copy->add yours.

Help me out here, what am I missing from this claim? How is the Elio made from mostly developed parts again??

Lets see, you list 300 plus new parts for the engine, WRONG, the only new parts will be the block/head/pan,seals, the rest of the parts springs, valves, pistons, rings, etc exist already and will be incorporated into the engine. As for the engine and transmission mounts, why would they need to be new, existing ones will work just fine, the only difference would be how they are mounted on the frame/engine/transmission. Hydroponic hoses/tubing is also existing, they simply need to order the correct lengths, gasket material for door/trunk already exist, they simply cut it to length, the HVAC compressor is not new, they are ordering existing compressors from and existing company, ducts, filters exist, trim/carpeting etc all exist just cut to size, the suspension is built from existing parts....and on and on and on.....

FUNNY, the thing is that NO ONE knows what Elio is using to build the car with, Hell we can't even get a locked in MPG, Production Date or Price yet and you think we know what parts they are already using OFF THE SHELF.

I thought I read somewhere recently a list of engine parts that will be off-the-shelf, for this new engine. That right there is enough to get an argument going and start another Civil War. lol
