The 2000 VW Jetta that's my current daily driver has more than 290,000 miles on it and is suffering from significant suspension droop. Ground clearance is approximately 4" now. I replaced the plastic belly pan with one made of press-formed steel sheet. It does _not_ clear most roadkill. Just...
I would be very surprised if the brake system on the P4 bears anything more than a very slight resemblance to the system that will be incorporated into the production vehicles.
Until reservations are stopped at 40K, only $1,000 'All-in' reservation holders are issued numbers. Everyone else will have numbers issued soon after the reservation period closes.
I believe the rear seat headroom in the P4 is a few inches less than in the P3. Otherwise, very similar as far as I know. I also believe the P5 will have rear seat headroom increased to something similar to the P3.
The10 Kilohertz squeal in both of my ears. The volume rises and falls over time, but it never stops. I haven't experienced true quiet in almost 30 years.
Nope. I rode motorcycles for a few years before Georgia even had an endorsement requirement. Then, when the endorsement requirement was added, there was only a simple written test required. No big deal at all ~43 years ago.
Eureka!!! An epiphany!!! A virtual instrument cluster that can be switched between pseudo analog (needles on dials), digital and SB. :cool: Unfortunately, cost probably won't allow it. :(
A recent change on the Elio web site indicates that PS is standard. Many of us believe it really doesn't need power steering because of its relatively light weight.
I really would like to have an AMT, but it appears that it will probably be a single clutch unit. Those are known for less than smooth shifting and jerky operation while creeping in traffic. Creeping traffic is an all to common mode in the Atlanta area. I guess I'll have to teach the wife to...
Here's a quick (15 minute) virtual instrument cluster that I created on my tablet using Torque. May be somewhat busy for some folks, but it's really easily reconfigured. And there are multiple screens available with just a swipe. And, there's also a HUD toggle. :cool:
