My new Toy

Well here are a few pics of my new toy ! picking her up when we get a nice day , im into my track days and have wanted one for a while , not too everyones taste but i like them .

 

Its a 2002 135 sport Elise , would like the Audi conversion at some point or the Type R , my friend has just had his fitted with a Supercharged Type R engine , Dyno'd at 309 bhp in an 800 ish kilo car and yes it can put it all down . It doesnt seem too upset the balance of the car neither.

Whilst this isnt a patch on the performance i get from the Supra its fun in a completly different way .

Nice, the supercharged type r engined one sounds awesome, did anyone see clarkson on top gear drive the ariel atom, thats basically the same supercharged engine and together with light as a fart bodyshell its certainly looked like it shifted some and sounded mighty fine too. I like superchargers tho, ive heard it described as a car stuck in reverse tho by Evo magazine so i guess its not to everyones taste!

 

For future reference which company does the type r conversion?

He had his done at Maidstones sports cars Kent , all in it cost nearly £15,000 , he has the Jackson Racing supercharger ! And yes it does sound like a car stuck in reverse :D

 

Sinclaires do the conversion too , a little cheaper

Thats quite expensive i guess but a nice toy all the same and if youve got the money price is not an issue!

Well their sticking 2JZ's in S2000's, a bit of cutting here and there and hey presto, 700bhp elise with big single!!

 

But the S2K is front engined with a lot of room under the bonnet where that is mid engined and crampt.

 

I would say it looks great, but its yellow with green stripes! :D
