Is this the least expensive 4.3x power:weight ratio car in the world??? Melikey!

perryeyges · 06-18-2008, 02:31 PM

So you just depress the lock and the door opens? That way you can eliminate the outside chrome lock button and asscciated hardware as well. NICE!

sleeprfocus · 06-18-2008, 09:52 PM

Any pics of the front with the wider flares?

FLuXeXigeS · 06-19-2008, 12:33 AM

Would you please post a photo/explanation of how you did the trunk lid? I've been thinking about doing the same thing.

Thanks,

I 'll try to get a photo, but is is really brainless. I just put a pin in the left-front and right rear corners of the trunk cover. Yank the hinges and done.

perryeyges · 06-19-2008, 10:28 AM

So you just push down on the lock pin on the top of the door and the door opens, right?? Did you eliminate the outer chrome push buttons?

No need for a photo -- I get it. I was thinking about replacing the pin in the hinges with a pip pin or something ...

Thanks,

Joe

damn, can't wait to see it when it's finished!

Casey@ForcedFed · 06-19-2008, 09:49 PM

Fred.....I made a refined version of your exhaust..

perryeyges · 06-20-2008, 08:57 AM

How loud is it??

Honestly, it isn't loud at all. The radial muffler i.e. Turbo does a great job quieting the car. I ran the car with the stock FF turbo exhaust at Qualcomm and I was like 82dB vs. a 93db limit. I might have passed with the straight pipe. Don't try this without a turbo as it will be LOUD!!!

Casey, that exhaust looks nice, albeit a bit heavy.

Casey@ForcedFed · 06-20-2008, 09:41 AM

6lbs???

Jim Dumfort called me this AM....

fzust · 06-24-2008, 09:27 AM

Representing in Tucscon.....

The car felt fantastic! Notice Diane was less than 1 second off of me, which a a new record for her. Just so you guys know this car is a MONSTER to drive, so the fact that she even gets in it is more than most women and alot of men. I am very, very proud of her!!!!

wow that's a FAST car/driver setup...

I should have come out for that one so people can see what a slow black (albeit shiny) Elise looks like

perryeyges · 06-24-2008, 10:01 AM

The car looks great. The times speak for themselves

I would start checking suspension components for cracks

Pretty severe loading going on there...
