Scottish Elises

Thanks guys, Mike is the kind of guy that loves a challange and like myself we never listen to anyone when they say it can't be done. The funny thing is my garage work bench at home looks just like Mikes and I still have pistons and rods on the floor from old builds, why I don't know but they are a ...

Hey guys thanks, it's too bad they left out so much of the build history but I can get the footage and post up good the bad and the ugly of the six years of R$D...
As fo rthe RS200E punch in 160 and you can see the monster I made back in 89 http://rs200.com/ Read the letters. The Lotus is more fun..

It sounds like you have condensation in the spark plug tubes, when the engine is hot enough the water vapor will short out the spark plug...If you have a rust colored residue use dielectric grease in the boots and wire..

It was fun runnin with these guys.... They like to run at speeds I gave up a long time ago....

Hey guys Happy Holidays... I had a great run this Christmas eve with some biker buddies and got it on video check it out, these guys can ride the snot out of these R1's... The pig could pull them in the straights..Kinda like a mini TT :mrgreen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEXnp01KNR8 http://www.y...

So ten days in the LA Auto Show and all I got was this picture.....I lied..

Music was The Heavy and Government Mule, the can noise gets old after a while and begins to eat my brain.... I guess I've become the old cranky guy I've always heard about...

I know what ya mean.... I've gotta get some bigger squirrels or threaten these suckers to put out more torque...


Near the end of the video the road surface is pretty rough keeping the 145 mph spurts short..

Hey guys I took a little 100mi. back road drive the other day, I thought I'd show ya what's just outside LA..

Watch on YouTube

I never run it in the wet, there is just too much power....... Oh yeah I have Kuhmo streets slicks so even the slightest water on the road surface is like ice...

In the dry there is nothing like it...... Music on the second run is Oli Brown. I have it playin in my ear phones...

Back up hill...

Now my little rocket pig makes more power than any car in that group....at only 27 psi. 615 WHP and 422 ft tq.

I run 33 psi. [680 whp] on the street...

It's a 2zz with 700 odd bhp :lol: that's what i mean by stressed. Does it feel like a small engine that's been twin charged? By that i mean does it always feel on boost so that when you lift off the engine is doing most of the braking? It's a hard one to get across this :? It feels exactly like a s...

Stressed ? Why would you say that when I'm shifting at 7-8,000 rpm while it has a working rev limit to 10,000 rpm...
It feels lke an OEM setup in traffic around town, you would never know it had 680 whp if you didn't put your foot into it..
