Frank has spent a lot of time and money on that project, he deserves a lot of credit for some of the kit's that have been put together for the Toyota engine

My mates 996 turbo has twice that power.

So does my truck but it ain't no ronin exige....

[wantalotus]

This 96 will run sub 2.20 at spa though which is faster than any exige ever will be... like even if you put 1000bhp in it, dropped the CofG by 3 metres and chopped it up and then supreglued it back togeteher to give it a bigger wheelbase and wider track.

[the ronin]

I can pick a three inch dust bunny from my navel but it like your boyfriend's Porsche have nothing to do with the thread title.

As for numbers that's for the pub, this car is built for the canyons...

Nice to see you're still working on that bad boy Frank. If life hadn't taken a bad turn last year I may well have been looking at one of your kits for an Exige (only thing that cxould have tempted out of my beloved S1) . Thanks for your efforts.

[TIPPER]

BTW Frank, have you still got that fabulous looking boat?

[the ronin]

Yeah it's still afloat and keepin me busy.

[TIPPER]

And the car doesn't!? Good to hear anyway.

[the ronin]

LOL they are both money pits except I can see where the money went with the Lotus, the boats bucks just seem to float away never to be seen again....

The car is total overkill now with more power than you can ever use on public roads..... but it's nice to know it's there..

[Silent1]

What's all the accelerating after the corner? Why not start laying some proper power on (not just a little feed in) after the apex?

[the ronin]

There are no apexes in the real world and you have no idea how fast the car is traveling in the corners.... but who's racing?
That was just a Tuesday afternoon drive nothing more....

Best get back to the pub then. You're the one throwing dyno run numbers around pistonheads and youtube.

Boats are holes in the water you pour money into, horses eat rolled up £50 notes and as for cars......??????

The dyno plot video was posted so that other Lotus owners can see the potential the 2ZZ engine offers with proper tuning and a gearbox that can take the 430 ft tq...


Oh here is a little something for you to bring back to the wine bar for your Porsche life partner ...
27psi.= 577 whp= 663 bhp
36psi.= 677 whp= 767 bhp
Toyota 2ZZ 1.8 ltr engine, Toyota E153 5 speed gearbox total weight full tank 2,150 lbs.

I run 36 psi on the street in my ronin exige Lotus.....No one on a Lotus forum cares what you and your Porsche life partner do.

Jackass as I said haters need not respond...
