Scottish Elises

LOL Robin, really enjoyed that trip into the unknown! Yep I have seen approx 3-figs' worth of Tuts in 3rd gear for first time in UJI's history and it was pretty mental. I would be able to go considerably faster under the Bridge at KH on that basis alone. Reason I asked the question is I seem to reca...

Out of interest Robin, despite your slightly lower torque, will you get better on-road results due to CR gearing? Never quite understood that bit...

No need for miffery, it's not a race to the bhp finish line by any means ;-) I had to make a choice of cracking on, or potentially never getting around to this, owing to imminent arrival of Ford Junior #2. So Donnie was our deadline, and in true project delivery style, we made it ... just! You now h...

The fact that you know it would be a Quickie Divorce is sufficient to help avoid it, methinks

LOL! Didn't realise I was being so intuitive!

OK, so trailer the Se7en to the Ring behind the RS6. Leather the Se7en around the ring and local backroads. Then leather the RS6 up and down the Autobahn [wthOUT trailer!] a couple of times.

Reverse all the above and you are home before you know it.

Job's a carrott...

Good stuff Campbell nice to here some of your tweaks are having great effect. But next, it's time to upgrade the driver...and that takes a lot, lot longer 8) Meantime, looking forward to TT07 as I think that's the next opportunity I'll get to properly stretch the car's legs...suddenly the straights...

Ta.

No FD didn't make it and we had to scarper to do some real work

I think you said 160 ... or was it 150

Good ol seat of pants Dynamometer!

OK so the results are in... Reminder of std Elise stats: 118bhp 122 lbft (165Nm) torque Peak power at 5500rpm My spec BEFORE = 132bhp - K&N replacement panel filter - Stainless sports exhaust (Motobuild supplied) - Trophy 160 52mm alu Throttle Body - Cat still in place, albeit original so probably a...

They're OK so long as the chicks take part as well.

Jacuzzis and the sea off Achmelvich are fair game too...

Touche! Although you could always combine it with a trip to the Nurburgring

Have you tried a short roof S2? Have to assume you haven't or there's no way you'd say that ;) I can get my roof on in about the same time it takes an S1 driver to clip the 2 side bars in! I have tried both types. Agree that the short version is quicker, so good for those who have manual dexterity ...

I am sorry but I do have to say lads...very silly. Surely there are plenty other places to "see what she'll do"...if nothing else you are prime to hit a deer * on a lot of the A9 and they will do you even more damage at illegal speed than anything plod can muster. [serious mode off!] Campbell * or a...

And back on topic...

...not sure what is quite so fiddly with the S1 roof? I've used a few S2 roofs and didn't find them especially better.

With the S1, provided you get well drilled, it's a doddle. Although I admit it works way better when there's two of you to tackle it
