[E.D.]

Right after the dyno i had drive the car for export overseas. It was rush hour so possibilities for WOT we're limited. Some short first impressions.

Is it fast? YES THIS CAR IS FAST, I'm spoiled with my 335i with 380ft/lbs from 2,000RPM but i think the elise, because of its low weight, is even a bit faster in 1st and 2nd gear. 1st gear is almost over before you can blink. 2nd, 3rd so much more torque than NA, really need to relearn the car.

Still need to finetune the idle, didn't have time to do it after the dyno anymore.

The clutch isn't as stiff as I expected it to be, even in traffic jams I didn't get a tired leg.

The motor now makes a bit more noise, a low noise, on the highway. The exhaust tone didn't change materially.

Now the long wait until i get my car back, a sad moment to see the car driving away into the parking lot of the shipping company. I cross my fingers they don't f up the car, I taped a warning to the windscreen only to tie the lotus down with the wheels, so that s/b enough.
