Ohio Elio Club

[Buckeyejake]

Hey fellow Elio enthusiasts from Ohio. I'm willing to start a local club. We could hold get togethers around the state. I will host one at Cedar Point or Put-In-Bay. Most likely in the summer. I would like to meet you all and discuss our mutual interest in Elio Motors.

Any interest?

cool, with me. Cedar point would be great. I haven't been there in decades. BTW, IMO Ohio is North East.

Will keep you updated as our group grows. Most information will be passed on this website.

I just used a random region map for reference, does everyone else feel the same way about Ohio's location?

I may have to join you at Cedar Point, I've become a bit of a roller coaster junkie lately and they have some of the best in the country there.

There is no place better for roller coasters. I think they have 17 different coasters. Everyone is welcome.

Yeah, and they have the no 1 ranked coaster and the no 6 or 7 coaster in the us.

I believe I have 1685 number. Can't wait.

Do you want to fly down with me and pick up your Elio off the assembly line? Another option is renting a car with a group from the area and carpooling down. I'm open to suggestions.

Oh,oh.... I couldn't stop myself a few seconds ago during a manic moment and upgraded my account to the $1K, ALL IN LEVEL. Does this mean I have to sacrifice a macro lens for my camera or a turbo for my Miata? NO! Like a new puppy, funds are allocated for the new toy. What will this rocket really cost when people finish modifying it? It would take two micro-seconds for the aftermarket options to appear. If they were smart they would provide these options factory direct and reap the additional profit for the sales. So, here is my want list in no particular order:

Wide tires, low profile, light rims with associated aero wide spats. Essentially, a second set to the high mileage wheels with narrow spats, for autocross and other racing endeavors.

Turbo charger with dial-able boost so my GF can drive it without either one of us screaming.- Double the power. Hopefully, the engine/transmission is built for 4X stress.
Antisway bar, blade type with adjustment from cockpit.
Adjustable spring mounts/shocks for height adjustment, full adjustable alignment.

accommodation for Satellite or CD radio, four speakers with fader, with input for external source (phone, ipad, etc.)
Power outlet at lower right window for GPS stuck to window. Better yet, GPS holder on dash.
Nitch in dash for stuff.
Heated seats with lumbar support.

All of these mods shouldn't hurt the mileage on the road much, except the tires. I can lose a few pounds to accommodate the additional weight of the accessories.

Only thing I know enough about and can agree with is the lumbar support and heated seats maybe a massager too. But with my bad back I'm just hoping for a smooth ride. This low to the ground I doubt it, but still hope for it.
