HI
if you have a STandard Exige S and can get to the east mids
I would very much like to test it with a GPS Vbox unit
nothing hard for the car as testing will be a rolling start from 20 Mph.
Needs to be totally standard
ALso a standard NA exige if possable as mine is a bit lighter than standard.
thanks

Mines no good then, unless you want one with exhaust tweeks and a panel filter?
I am realy after a totally standard S
some one here must have one I am willing to travel.

Mines in Germany, bring yours over, we can correct the fact that yours is a bit lighter than it should be by running different amounts of fuel. Mines got A/C so we can correct for that aswell, along with any slight spec differences like touring or sports pack etc.
Combine it with a trip to the Ring and we can meet there.
Can’t help you in providing an S, but I would be very interested to see the results of this if you find one. You would expect an S to monster the NA car in acceleration at low and mid revs, but it would be very interesting to see what the ultimate performance difference is. Keep us posted.

I’m not sure and may be wrong, but I think David wants to compare standard ‘S’ and a standard NA car with his car that includes the updated ECU and is a bit lighter…
I’d be very interested in the results too - especially between a standard NA car and one with the updated ECU.
I would gladly offer to participate in this as well with my car (not quite standard Bemani), but sadly, Switzerland isn’t all that close. Even N�rburgring is pushing it, I feel.
Slight OT:
Bruh_la, ever fancied a trip down to the south part of the Black-Forrest? There are some nice roads down here, including the Schauinsland-Mt.Road and others. Might make for some nice gathering. I wouldn’t mind driving further up north as well - but feel the south area is a bit more interesting as far as driving roads go?
i would be up for that, as would a few of the lads here aswell. Thing is though, you can only really enjoy our cars on track, black forest is always a bit buisy…if you know some quiet roads, i am all ears
We are doing a trackday on wed 22 aug on the small course at Hockenheim, how about joining us.

So tell us more about your proposed tests…
its very basic but better than all this Dyno rubbish
its a rolling start in 2nd gear from 20MPh
the vbox logs your speed from 30Mph to what every point you set.
I am after a spreedsheet of all Lotus Engines and all 3rd party tuning options, which I will make public once I have tested every thing.
SO please if some one has a standard S please get in touch.
Sounds a bit like the tests I used to do in 2nd gear going from 4000-8000 rpm in a single gear. Easy to do, accurate and not hampered by any gear changes that might influence the overal picture or performance of the engine.
Too bad I live too far away. Anything other than doing this tests with multiple cars on the same place, same time, same conditions would not yield all that accurate results…
if i ever get my plans/lotus converted car back i’ll me more than happy to participate.

Anything ever come of this? Any extra info for your ad. Quicker than…?
a standard na does 30-100 in 11.6
the SC SPK car does 30-100 in 8.4 that was the 250Bhp one.
No S owners wanted to try 
I did offer mine but it is not quite standard as it has a sports cat and 2bular back box
Out of interest, was this full throttle from 1st or 2nd gear on? (given 30mph isn’t far off the rev limiter in first).
Thanks! cheers Phil
2nd gear rolling start from 20Mph
computer then starts timing from 30 MPH to 100mph
My car is slighty quicker doing it from 1st gear even with a gear change i am 3/10 quicker.
Thanks for the info! So, there are two gearchanges included in going from 30-100mph (2->3 and 3->4).
Was your car the standard one? (standard with ECU upgrade I presume?)

Here are a few of my times using the ECU for a timer…try your times from a set speed holding it and then stomp on it, without the your added inirtia of accelerating into your starting point…these are some of my times…
a few road logs…
30-70 through gears 5.29s
30-50 in 2nd gear 1.65s
50-70 in 3rd gear 2.15s
70-80 in 3rd gear 1.05s
50-70 in 4th gear 2.71s
70-80 in 4th gear 1.46s
This is no bull shite… times and speed are loged from the ECU…full tank and a passenger, let’s see what you get
a standard na does 30-100 in 11.6
Thats a bit better than I imagined. Is that your car with the ECU reflash David, or one that is completely stock?

Evo he’s allready acelerating before he starts timing…that’s no way to judge performance…try it at a steady 30mph and then stab it, big difference, huge difference …school girls time their cars like that
