Here's a small clip we made this weekend when autocrossing at an airfield. So it was not on a public road

I'm boosting around 1.15-1.2 bar dropping of to around 1.0 (Need a Tial bad!!)

I don't really launch the car that's why it's so slow in the beginning..

And ehumm... that's my crazy friend in the end of the clip

Nice vid. How much power are you making? Love the steering wheel.

LMAO, nice laugh.....

Nice vid. Was that a new Elise that went past at the very begining?

And yeah, the laugh is hilarious.

Duke

Glad you like the steering wheel, I bought it this friday.
Very nice grip with the suede! Just need gloves and I'll be set in the steering department.

As far as power goes, I really don't know but it should be at least around 370 bhp.

Hehe we both felt a bit crazy that day so I guess he thought a laugh á la madness was appropiate

Yep that's a Lotus Elise S1.

Here's a pic of the steering wheel. But it doesn't do it justice at all:

Duke, how did you cancel the airbag light when you replaced the OE wheel with the Sparco, which is very nice, by the way... I'm a fan of that model myself. What size is that? 350?

Duke

Thanks, yes it's 350mm.
I didn't have an airbag wheel so installation was straight forward.
However, there's instructions here how to cancel the airbag light:

what is your "flying" 100-200 km/h time
It seems like 12 sec but hard to say exactly

Konstantin

Duke

Yes it is around 12 sec.
I know you don't care much for HP numbers but that should be quite good shouldn't it?

Konstantin

well this is true about the HP. I do not care! I care more about accelaration time ;-)

well a GT3 needs 11 sec for the 100 to 200 km/h
Maybe you should fix your wastegate soon.
Or sent it to me and I will fix it for you;-)

That's a pretty good run! I did a frame by frame analysis, 100-200km/h went by at 12.2s in your car. It was a bit bumpy, so it might be off by .1s or .2s .

I'm gonna dig through my old vids and find my 100-200km/h times.

Here's some of my 100-200km/h times from old videos.

11.0s 12psi 2.8L ~365whp
10.1s 15psi 2.8L ~400whp
8.8s 25psi 2.5L 450whp

Duke, thanks for the link! I've always wondered how you could get around that without linking a button to the error code delete circuit!

rage... love the new avatar.
