Elio Events 2016

[Folks]

That is somewhat true if using typhoon in the meteorological sense. Each area has it's own terminology. But many people use a looser definition of weather terms. I'll look up the various names and get back and post them.

"Hurricanes are giant, spiraling tropical storms that can pack wind speeds of over 160 miles (257 kilometers) an hour and unleash more than 2.4 trillion gallons (9 trillion liters) of rain a day. These same tropical storms are known as cyclones in the northern Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal, and as typhoons in the western Pacific Ocean."

Careful, Marshall. These topics can end up in an Abbott and Constello routine.

I see some of the other members have posted video already of the Shreveport event but I thought I'd throw mine into the mix as well...

Driving from across the street.

Checking out the cockpit...

Standing in line...

I didn't stay very long and was there very early so after I got my chance in the driver's seat and visited with folks a bit I headed back home... I probably left by 12:45...
This is the first time I've posted video on YouTube so please let me know if it doesn't work...
Thanx H_R

the exhaust exit is on the off door side .... first picture shows the fuel port location on the off door side, with the channel built to cover the exhaust pipe below it .... second picture shows the exhaust port

One of the Elio folks said the side exhaust was done to reduce cockpit heat ( I overheard him telling another person) I wonder if ground clearance also was a factor? The 67 Corvette had a side exhaust option that might look good... Louvered polished aluminum...

Simply put the answer is YES.

Yep, right side is off door side.

Worked great for me! Thanks.

Yep, right side is off door side.

years of working in the RV industry has me using door side and off door side ....with only 1 door it seemed to lend using the terms for an ELio .... sometimes left and right can get confused .... whatever works in getting the message across is good

I'm All-In with "off door side."

 

[Jeff Miller]

Did anyone notice if the exhaust is actually exiting from the right side in front of the rear wheel or is it still coming out of the left side behind the rear wheel?

Looking at the elio on the move video you can see exhaust moisture coming from the rear exhaust just before he stalls and again when he restarts the motor

Thanks!
That actually gets to what I was looking for.
We still don't know what the production version will sound like since the exhaust system was not the production version and it sounded like an echo chamber under that portico.
Incidentally, good eye.
