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?

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.

nup, it must be right. he was doing 1:36s in the race. very impressive. :blink: the michelein slicks are a good thing too.

At least these things are not aloud to race and big balls or what??? Sorry coud be female drivers??? NOT>........

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

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

    • Behrman is great quality stuff. My 34 has some serious clouding as well but I’m too nervous to try and replace the glass myself so I haven’t bought them yet. 
    • This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.
    • If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.
    • Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
