The tricky part about a spellchecker is you have to go back and check to see if the correctly spelled word was the word you actually wanted to use. I assume "sunroom" should have been "sunroof ".

BLANKETY-BLANK autocorrectSunroom???? What's a sunroom? I thought they were screened in porches on houses.

The small springs built into a clutch plate do the same job as a harmonic balancer. They absorb small vibrations to smooth things out.
Ok, we'll let that one slide
Putting a sunroof in the Elio was never a problem, but the issue was that it's going to be so small it's going to be more like a sun porthole in the roof. Because of the structure around the perimeter of the roof and the framework of the sunroof you would only end up with a opening that's about 10" side to side, and maybe 12" front to rear because of the curvature of the roof line. You can get glass to seal with a slight curve in the glass, but to match the roof line it will almost be like a small bubble. It comes down to, is it really worth it?

Almost certainly not. I don't actually want one semicolon I was just looking at the possibility
yesterday, AriLea visited the tour in Scottsdale and asked "Will the P5 be at the LA show?> Yes, that's the intension. We except it to be there." (see post 9 in this thread) .... I consider that to be confirmation that the build process is on track

I asked whether they'll have time to do any testing with P5 before the show and got the impression that hadn't even been considered. My guess is that it'll be ready just in time for LA.
as I remember the LA Auto Show starts on Nov 20th and runs through the 29th .... allowing time for transport from Detroit to the show, they have a little over 3 weeks to complete the build .... from the latest pictures, that wouldn't seem to allow much time for testing
A few weeks ago EM stated that they 'expected' to have the 20 +/- week P5 build complete in October with time for testing prior to the November LA Auto Show reveal.
The photos released showing the P5 Build makes it appear to be alot drive train and wiring work remaining along with the more detailed interior work.
The "We EXPECT it to be there" statement in Post #571 above is not very reasurring to me. This would have been much more reasurring, "Yes it will be there" and will be revealed as promised to encourage the continued support of our Elio fan base!"
