Stunning i love that

I hope your not a big lad the phase 1s are even harder to get into :)
Love it, i looked into a s2 190bhp model about 4 years ago.
That has go to pull a 0-100 in around 8 secs

VERY VERY nice Paul ;)
Love the black theme
The Honda S/C setups do go well but way to linear for me :D miss the torque thump low down from a turbo. A lot of the 2.2 n/a vx220's are going all S/C'd and give fantasitic results.
If you have no air con your going to sweat on track :P
Look forward to having a play now mine is back to full strength although looks like it is going to go all 3071 over winter :D
Be carefull in the wet I am sure it is just as unforgiving as mine
RWD is the only way ;)
Did you sell the 5 in the end?

Thanks Paul :)
I have to say you are getting a BIG collection of special cars :D
I was / may still sell the vx :(
But not sure what would replace it tbh, also money / time spent would be hard to get back and as with these kind of cars you need a buyer who understands a highly strung setup which needs more tlc than a stock setup etc and happy with this
Last time I had the race logic box on there it did 0-100 in 8.3 - suspect a better surface may slightly better it but also sub 4 sec to 60 easy to obtain but as you know in your new beast its not all about straight line performance :)
So atm I am still using it (in the dry lol) and see what happens
Look forward to seeing it up close :) - you need the rear wing I have to fit to my beastie

This does 3.4 0-6 :)

You may be able to keep up with me :D but what does it get to 60 in :O 0-6 in 3.6 is quite slow lol
I have not recorded many full abuse mode runs to 60 as its just not safe on the private road I used for testing :P need santa pod smooth lol - my ratios do not help as I change to 3rd for 60 :( with a better turbo and higher rev limit I would hope to impove. Also full bore starts have a way of hurting things so enjoy the corners ;)
What power is it mapped to? LSD?
Not sure about the setup you have but you really have to get it spot on for sub 3.9 (well in mine it is) can do a 3.9-4.1 run almost on demand. My geo is very aggressive atm which does follow the lines of the road even if you don't want it to lol
Will bring the race logic gear to the next pod event for anyone who wants to get some data :)
Scoff's car may warp the satalite though lol
Is that the cat D jobby that was rebuilt at the start of the year?
Just I remember seeing that picture of an Exige in front of that silver sphere on an old thread I read a while back.
Nice looking motor :agree: :cool:

He might, you won't :D ;)

its is mart the front claim was damaged. This didnt really put me off as theres loads of photos of the damage and the shell was stripped down and rebuilt bolt by bolt with new subframes just be sure.:)
Aii mate, it was a fairly thorough nut & bolt rebuild from what I remember reading about.
Should (obviously) go like stink on track :cool: You gonna 'Ring it?

Well i got the 5 out the garage for the first time since november.. i came down in the lotus as the sun was out for a change so i thought id take a few snaps of the toys togeather:) i never really noticed how much smaller the exige is compared to the 5 untill now... next is to see which is faster up the straight, need another driver...anyone:wasntme:
that exige is a beautiful piece of kit.. he's a 400bhp version in action!! one of my fav you tube vids

i looked at a couple of s2.. but to be honest i like the way the s1's look more
First post!
Hi new to the site, really like the new car/cars i see the Renault 5 on pistonheads a short while ago have you still got it ?
also sounds abit strange but did you used to own a tungsten grey 5 with black OZ supter t's, crome show cage and red high spec brakes ?
