There's a dick called Lewis who drives a black elise and frequents Seloc. He's put me off them for life by the way he drives and the state his car is in.

Why would a laggy turbo set up be better than a supercharger set up on a car that's built for handling? I'd take the progressive instant response to sacrifice a few bhp any day.

cant watch the vid but is it the white S2 Exige?

If so.... it was very quick and had something like 340bhp at the wheels.

Guiglimugliheiemiaieiiiii's is a vag 1.8 - not sure how much of the orig vag engine still exists though

Agreed. It's the same story in the KTM X-Bow, the engine has plenty of power etc but the lazy, linear delivery and muted engine note just doesn't excite which, in cars like these, is a crucial factor!

Ariel chose a Honda engine over an Audi one for a reason Big figures isn't one of them.

Such a nice car, he didnt build the engine it was sent some were from memory,
and it ran 2 seasons with out being rebuilt

they were going to start fresh for time attack this year with a 2.0

But they were building two for brit car 24 hour last time i went to see them,

lotus is a fuck site lighter than an audi they pick up great,
plenty of people doing it,
remember the first ones came with rover k series, audi conversion is pretty much double the power and more reliable

As I said above, it's not all about power. You don't want to be mid corner and get a big slab of boost in something that light. The first ones came with a K series, then the second ones with a Toyota VVTi for a reason.

either way - they are both potentially great engines in an Elise/Exige
