evening all,

im the guy that sneaked in the elan at the end.

162.5bhp

123.5bhp(at the wheels)

145lbf-ft torque.

 

this is about standard(0.5bar boost) because the car has boost creep with the bleed valve open. :cry:

the car runs at 0.8bar boost on the road. :D

 

thanx for the race on the way there(you know who you all are) :D

 

cheers, stephen.

 

p.s. if you want to know more about the car go to http://www.lotuselancentral.com

got the quote today:new rear spoiler £285.36

new tailgate £584.71

bond kit to swap over rear glass £36

£282 in labour

£82.82 in paint and materials

nice figures joe M........you must be well pleased?

[Joe M 0]

Yip, sure am, especially with the at the wheels figure. (And the diff.) :D

The car may be chipped according to Jim, should have asked him if it would be obvious if i open the ecu to check.

[Ess Three 0]

It sure is Joe...

If it's Superchiped, it'll normally have a Superchips sticker on the EPROM, if it's AmD'd it'll have a carrier / protection board onto the main board, with the EPROM into that...also the little shiny covered section over the EPROM will be missing with an AmD chip fitted to facilitate the height of the carrier board & EPROM.

 

Good to hear you're happy with the diff!

[Br1an_g 0]

i was witness to the test drive of the diff.... :twisted:

 

had to close my eyes a bit on the roundabout... :oops: :oops: :shock:

 

class...

[dubster82 0]

[vr6storm 0]

you forgot MOT'd too :wink: ....it really is amazing what star-p can do when they "just" repair suspension damage and MoT a C :wink:

 

 

needless to say good figures tho :wink: .............pity it wasn't on the rollers on the 30th :( ........still nevermind there's always the VWCCGB one in 2004............normally march time :wink:

[dubster82 0]

hmm... didn't think an MOT would affect the power...

 

maybe the suspension repair did tho :?

 

fixed something that was holding the car back from releasing its true grunt?

 

:lol: looking forward to the CCGB one. didnt get to hear it on the rollers, i was to late. shame cause it sounds mental on the rollers when it gets a go :cry:

[dub16 0]

Shame it wasn't a summer service so you could enjoy your new found bip :lol:

 

Not exactly ideal road conditions!! Interesting drive home from Star, defo know my wipers work now!!

[dubster82 0]

hmmm... trip on way home. got blown away from a 1.4 and couldnt get past 70 :lol::lol::lol:

 

wipers stopped working, and with no traction in the first three gears, there was no chance i was goona chase you!!! especially with all the cops loking for Ross... :lol:

[dub16 0]

So i get to add Corrado G60 to the list of battles won :lol:

 

Obviously I would allow you a re-match in the dry if I was fair, but i'm a bad loser so I won't :lol:

 

Was beside you at the lights, pulled away to hear something sweet revving but not going anywhere, then it was like a scene from Top Gun, the girlfriend was like, where'd he go... I was like, where'd whoooooooooo go!! :lol:

 

Wasn't so smart when I passed the Volvo painted in nice blue and yellow squares jus up the road, doing almost double the limit!! Good job they were waiting to escort those coaches or would have some points for winning the race and I am not speaking about brownie points either :lol:

[dubster82 0]

So i get to add Corrado G60 to the list of battles won

 

hah, tell Mr R. Starr that, he'll be loving it!! :D:D:D

 

good move in front of the yellow and blue T5 too mar-tay! yoo hooooo!

 

or we coulda both been gettin bad looks. dare say we were anyway lol

[dub16 0]

Brian, I don't know who or what you are talking about :D :D

 

Have you been drinking Optimax again??

 

Unfortunately a rear ending saxo driver resulted in Mr R Starr being unable to attend the RR Day to see what his was kicking out :cry:

 

At least I dealt with a certain cocky Golf Gti 8v owner, don't mind getting beat by a fellow 16v :lol:

 

Need more POWER :mad:

[vr6storm 0]

just like in the "2.0 16v performance" thread might be an idea to start a separate thread about your wee escapades coming back from star this month............and all the other fun you've had lately :lol: :lol:

[dubster82 0]
