so, i have a baby on the way and me and my wife keep arguing about the baby being safe in my car since it always smell like gas etc.

has anyone of u guys had newborns in your evo?

 

For one, there's already a thread on this.

Second, if your car is smelling like gas, you need to fix something. Either that, or get rid of the o2 dump or exhaust turn-down. Whatever it is, a car shouldn't smell like gas.

 

Do you have a test pipe? Or a cat?

Assuming you're smart enough to have a properly installed proper baby seat. That's the only thing that I'd avoid, aside from highly aggressive driving (but that's a given too).

If it is extremely loud that may not be the best choice either...

 

didnt refer to gas smell in specific but also how evo always a bit agressive when driving through pot holes, too loud, etc.

but does smells a bit like oil.

and fyi the other thread didnt mension newborns.

 

When my children where born, they were driven around in a 20 year old GTI that made the Evo seem like a luxury car with an exhaust to match. We'd strap the kids in the back and go corner hopping. Babies are much more resilient than their parents.

 

Very well said. Babies hearing isn't as sensitive as adults, and hey maybe the drone of the exhaust may help them sleep. With respect to the smell in the car if you're running a test pipe or a cut out or whatever that's allowing the exhaust fumes back into the car then u might want to address that. otherwise you're good to go.

 

My baby sleeps every time I have her in the evo. She loves it

 

Get a good car seat and sort out any exhaust issues and you'll be fine

 

My daughter was brought home in my Evo. At the time I had a HFC. She is now almost four and loves the "Evo car"

 

I stuck mine on my APR GTC 300 wing and he added more down force.

 

thats the spirit

 

what happen to riding around up in the back window and anywere else for that matter, i used to sit behind the seats in a 67 sting-ray. Population control!

 

Every time I put my newborn on my old evo 8 she went right to bed. The load exhaust drone, bumpy suspension put her right to bed. I wouldn't recommend any spirited driving with a baby, that goes in any car.

 

thats what i wanted to hear.

thanx guys.

 

I had my son in modified Honda's for his entire life. Hybrid civic and Integra Type R. he was fine. I would sometimes drive him around in the car to put him to sleep.
