Can anyone give me some advice on how to make my Sprite safer without making it ugly? I don't want to start a debate on the inherent safety of Spridgets but there must be some features that a majorit

What year spridget? Some of the later cars have safety features that can be installed on earlier cars. Doors with side impact beams, collapsible steering columns, dual circuit braking, etc. They aren

Jin: If you drive the Spridget sensibly I feel additional safety devices are not required. One of the things I like about the Midget is that if I am broadsided or hit head-on, I will not be much of a

As Trevor mentioned alot depends on the year of your sprite. Brakes: One of the things I am planning on doing with my 62 midget is putting a dual line braking system, and perhaps a front disk brake c

It sounds like you plan on doing some serious cornering. The Sprite is much safer as far as roll over goes then any SUV (stupid ugly vehicle) Add a set of seatbelts and it is safer then most cars bui

Yeah, but you can kill two birds with one stone, and not only upgrade your safety, but your "style and sophistication"* at the same time! ;-) adrian * If anybody has ever watched Red Dwarf, the quote
