turbot?

Yep tempted to go to the rr on Sunday to see the power it gets.

L0rdMike · 15 Sep 2011 at 09:58

This should have near 300bhp though.

L0rdMike · 15 Sep 2011 at 10:22

It's already launched my phone at me. Shot at me like a bullet. :eek:

Congratulations. Please do not hurt yourself, there are some people saying these cars are safe like fwd hatchbacks, they are not.

In fact, I'm positive these same people think a lot of dumb things and may in fact be.... dumb?

I got so much power I can sometimes get wheel spin in first when it comes on boost in the dry. :eek:

Unless you're posting from beyond the grave i assume you haven't had it out in the wet yet?

Drove in the rain 2nd day.

This is my 4th MR car and 3rd Turbo MR car. I think I can handle it in the wet.

L0rdMike · 17 Sep 2011 at 17:36

S2000 parked outside for now.

L0rdMike · 20 Sep 2011 at 21:02

Yeah drove in the wet a few times. Car is just far too loud.

I've been out in loud cars before but this thing is just killing my ears.

Ear plugs, instantly becomes an Omega!

They don't work enough

I know this is not going to be 100% accurate or anything, will compare results from S2000 and a Kia Picanto later on this week.

Finished driving and engine off.

WOW!

Thats quick!

I always thought the Exige was the daddy, how come this Elise is not known as an Exige or is it modded or some special edition?

Supercharged Honda Vtec.

L0rdMike · 26 Sep 2011 at 22:54

You got wind up windows I take it Neil?

Arhh finally got rid of that old Honda then Mike ...I'm not sure your choice would have been my choice but nice car none the less. I certainly have a lot of respect for it's capabilities. Must be nice to have some decent torque now eh

Stll have the S2000 need to get on and sale it. Will post the phone dB readings for it when I get home.

L0rdMike · 17 Nov 2011 at 14:10

Set of AD08s ordered so I should have immense amount of grip soon.

Yeah, the amount of grip you had on Saturday was just lol bad

Now I said this will prob crash for not having the awesome Kumhos on.

L0rdMike · 17 Nov 2011 at 16:55

Only getting the rears done at the moment, something like £130 each fitted.

L0rdMike · 17 Nov 2011 at 17:00

Not going to change a set of tyres just for the sake of it.

L0rdMike · 17 Nov 2011 at 17:22

Should be fun for a while then.
