I was out there on Sunday afternoon and it was perfect conditions, 19C sunny day no wind.

Far out these things are fast and here is the official times?

Natsoft

I did not get to see these cars and one is Elise Bozman and how do they go so fast? There was a yellow Camano Sports sedan which was the toughest looking thing I have seen at the track and he only did a 1 34. Tube frame fibreglass front end, massive aero and super low roof height and massive slicks with big chev in middle of the car.

Take off the slicks and giants car is much lighter and better suspension etc than when it was there last and ran 1 min 40 last year, and mine is much faster too. I last ran there nearly two years ago and did a 1 43.5. It will still be a big challenge though, as times under 1 min 40 for example even a second is heaps, and THANKS Bozzo.

OK the bar has just been raised for the 5th July!!!!!

Just had a look at the entries and noticed Mackie and Lucas have entered in the exiges!!!!!!!!!!

Peter Lucas just did a 1.34 around the creek on the weekend, while Tim Mackie did a 1.37!!!!!!!

So Lucas is 5 seconds faster than Berry around the creek and 9 seconds faster than Penlington.

Yes these times were done on slicks. These are proper race cars that have entered and are able to run in open. We are all up sh!t creek.

Awesome! IS the specs of the 1:34 and 1:37 cars the same? Im guessing that the 1:34 is the ex-European GT3 Exige or similar etc?

All three Elise models on the Lotus website (Elise S, Elise R and Elise SC) are specced with 1.8L engines...

how did they do in the race? is it possible they f**ked the timing? it's happend before many a time. cause bill pye may be just a rich pig farmer but he doesn't mess about. and i would be surprised to see him in his cup car 4 and a half seconds off the pace. I have to say though peter lucas has really bought things on a long way in the last few years. when we ran robs car in prod sports the first 8 or so spots were always filled by 996 cup cars with the few lotus way down the back a fair way off the pace. though I'm guessing peter has upgraded machinery too as he wasn't in A class before in the lotus he was running.

I saw at lotus that sounds similar to this at wakefield late last year. It had an s2000 motor supercharged.

Do they qualify for superlap given they have had a transplant?

I think you will find that they are a K20 front wheel drive engine and gearbox as found in Integra and Civic Type R's.

with turbos on them too I'm guessing???

how does that fit into prod sports? I always thought they had to run the original engine? Marque sports was the "anything goes" category for sports cars... guess it must have changed...

That would be it :P Thanks Gary.

Especially given the standard engine orientation (east west).

They have alloy Honda block and whole car weighs about as much as a big motorbike? No not really but silly light, as in 700kg or less I believe and supercharged not turbo. I might think different about supercharged engines now.

Rather then something that has been bolted together in a backyard i would suggest they are a race derivative of the Exige from one of the European GT3 series. Here are some specs of one i have saved in my favourites :D

- Toyota 1.8 2ZZZ Charge-cooled and supercharged 320bhp

- Dry sump

- Hewland PCT 6 Speed Sequential Transmission (flat shift)

- Limited Slip Differential

- Switchable Traction Control

- 2007 Wide-body

- Quick Release Carbon Fibre Front and Rear Clams and Rear Wing

- Air Jack System

- Digital Dash

- 6-point FIA Approved Roll Cage

- Removeable Steering Wheel

- FIA and HANS Approved Recaro Seat and Race Harness

- Ohlins 4-Way TTX Dampers

- Aluminium Uprights

- AP Twin Master Cylinder System with Dial Bias Adjuster

- 6-Pot AP Front Brake Callipers

- Centre Nut Hubs

- Lotus Sport 5 Spoke Alloy Wheels (10 Inch Rear Wheels)

If i have guessed right then there shouldnt be any real surprise that the thing is as quick as it is

    • Ultimately, if the tip is not far into the runner and the o-ring seals, then you are in business. Have you applied pressure to it as is? It is not really a problem for the injector to twist once it is bolted down, the oring seals it and you don't want it jambed into the oring too hard The plenum is intended to take multiple size lower injectors with different adapters, but the way you have it is fine if they seal.
    • Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.
    • They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.
    • Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....
    • Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)
