    What Happened To Yellow?

    We Americans are spoiled and will have our personal colors if but just a statement of our independence! I'm still stuck on the idea the Elio's similarity to an airplane In line cockpit and all. I don't what a sun roof because of leak hazard and maintenance. I would, however love to find...

    What Happened To Yellow?

    Interesting. I feel the same about orange as you about yellow. I like yellow and had a yellow Nissan truck with all the yellow accessories. (seat covers, steering wheel, pressure gages, etc.) I'm new to Elio having just discovered its existence this week. I'm leaning toward the blue, or the...

    Elio Stabilty On Highway,wind, Steep Grades, And At70mph.?

    The wheel covers on the Elio turn with the wheels themselves, so any ice build-up should not interfere any more in turns than in a straight line. And if you're getting enough snow spray to build up on the suspension/steering linkages, you already have bigger problems (like following someone way...

    Radio Speakers??

    One thing about sound proofing; on something like a door, you don't need to cover the whole inside of the outer panels; you're trying to dampen sound. A large piece that covers about 30% of the inside of the door skin is enough. Where you need full coverage is on the backside of the door panel...

    The Back Seat...

    This has to be a very easy way of removal of the back seat because of installing seat covers and reupholstering for future changes.

    Leave 'em. Together with the chrome badge, they break up the monotony. Otherwise, the front end is just a tad too plain jane for me. I'll be putting "chrome" plastic wheel covers on the rims. Those black steel wheels peeking out are atrocious!

    What Color Do You Want

    Only if you can get a white stripe and a golden Irish harp painted on the hood so it looks like the Irish flag. Erin Go Bragh!

    What Color Do You Want

    I wonder if we'll be able to request two tone? By that I mean the car is one color and the wheel covers are another. Green car, Orange wheel covers anyone? :D

    Paul , This Is Your Conscience !

    ...see why it's a safety problem. Unless the safety folks at IIHS deem it a problem, it's going to stay. And you can deal with your own wheel covers as Grumpy Cat pointed out. They too are there for 84 mpg. Two of your big complaints affect gas mileage. Would you want the car to fall further...

    One such device: Can you imagine the fun Ben Hur chariot races we could have with these on a bunch of Elios with the wheel covers off? :eek:

    Elio P5 At Detroit Auto Show

    On a way to run power to LED strips on the fender ...... Run the wire under the rear leg of the upper A arm and connect at outer end using flat connector. That way it can be used on any fender type. --->...

    Elio P5 At Detroit Auto Show

    Seems like an LED strip on the bottom of the rear part of the fender would be visible and not interfere with aerodynamics. Perhaps flat wiring mounted on the inside surface of the fender (facing the vehicle) to a trailer style quick-connect would work.

    They are actually considered glamour shots by most Forum members. Thanks. Now all I need is a GoPro slalom shot.

    ...pretty well invisible at night. Reflective tape strips will probably be standard equipment on the leading and trailing edges of the wheel covers, and LED strips are an option if a good way to route power to the wheel covers can be found. You'd have to have a removable plug-in connection...

    Purchased A Ford C-max Hybrid

    With a grand child in a wheel chair the cars just did not cut it anymore. I took a C-max on a two day 250 run around doing the things wife normally does, Of course she was with us. I was surprise my wife liked it. She does not warm up to new vehicles well. Payton loved it she did not get knocked...

    The P5: What Would You Change?

    The "Rube Goldberg suspension" comes directly from Formula 1 race cars and is designed to reduce the coefficient of drag. One example would be the 2012 Ferrari F1 suspension.

    The P5: What Would You Change?

    ...and go back to the coil overs of the P3. Shoulder harness anchored on the right buckles on the left. Power mirrors so you can adjust them to get following traffic headlight reflections out of your eyes especially at stop signs or stop lights. Small clearance lights on the wheel covers...

    Eager To See A Driving Review Or Impression With Purpose Built Iav Designed Engine!

    ...snow while the front ones are not, but I think overall, given front-wheel drive and a narrow fuselage, it might do quite well. Might need to do a little modification on the front wheel covers - maybe not. I wonder if studded snow tires will be available in the front tire size. Could be fun.
