Can they really dyno those funky Elise things safely? I mean, you don't want to end up like this guy:


I know they don't have to lift it for a Dyno, but who knows what other funky things could happen when you choose an oddball British car nobody knows how to work on instead of your reliable and better looking Japanese convertible

 

Well, I don't see the pic, but I'm guessing it is the yellow Elise that fell off the back of the lift. I've not seen a dyno that they have to lift the car? As for Japanese, you do realize that it has all Toyota engine and drivetrain don't you? hehe, I have to say it is probably the only car I would be happy with after having my S for 3 years... still miss the nice Honda shifting though (the Elise shifter sucks)

Heheh, yup, it's the yellow one that fell. Just felt like messin with ya as always I actually really liked the Elise I drove, although I don't think I'd ever own one. Any more extreme that the S2000 and I'll just go with a Caterham or Atom, heheh.

 

ill take an atom any day!

 

Are we gonna do this?

 

name the time and place! I'll be there!

 

ill make the call on monday and get back to everyone. Sorry for the delay work has been a bitch this week.

 

Ok, I got off the phone with Air Cooled Classics and here is what they told me. We would need to purchase a whole day, preferablly a Saturday so the majority of us would have to take the day off.

We can purchase 6 or 8 hours and we would have the run of the floor mounted Dynojet. Its 150 bucks an hour so for 6 hours it would cost 900 bucks. This is including the A/F and a technician.

Basically, it sounds like the more people to go the cheaper for those worried about money. With 15 people (est.) each person would get about 25 minutes of on the dyno time and with having it the whole day we can make modifications between runs.Personally, I like the sounds of it as im getting an intake a possibily a few other goodies and can check gains between runs.

We would have to pay in advance and set a date so just lets get a count going of those saying they want to do it. Also, submit your requests for dates to see if there one that stands out. I was thinking March 3rd.

 

I will be skiing in New Mexico March 3.
