Drive - Tuned! - Exige 710bhp

[Mark B]

Looks fantastic, great effort!

Thanks guys.. This is a cool shot, you can see how much tunnel was created from the needed fender bluge... Side benefit is more downforce...

Ronin, what are the vents in the bumper just in front of the wheels for (hard to explains but the slit shaped ones)? Are they for cooling or for airflow down the side of the car?

[Stelvio1]

A staggering effort Frank - so much passion put into your build - I am totally in awe

I love it when folk push the boundaries with their vision and belief, well done that man

When will it be debuted in the canyons?

[GTRene]

with the splitter on it is going to look better



great work Frank.

Thanks guys it will be on the road this coming week...

The slit like openings are for two of the six chargecooler heat exchangers...

Frank you've got to get these guys to race you say up to 0 - 100 mph

Put them in their place

Where are you mounting the rest of the heat exchangers now? Am I right in thinking you had 4 for the chargecooler on the old car? Guessing yon have two mounted on the near the top rear scoops now? Do you still have the additional engine rad in the rear?

Boggy, Hennessey won't come out to play no matter how many times I call him out...

The charge coolers are, two placed on the front sides, one vertical in the front radiator opening, one full size radiator under the engine cooling rad and two placed on the sides of the engine mounted to the roll cage...
6 charge cooler heat exchangers in total.... 3 engine water heat exchangers... 1 engine oil cooler...1 gearbox oil cooler....

Rubbish, you wouldn't see which way my Elise went...

[pthelazyjourno]

...possibly because it'd be about 8 miles further back down the road and you don't have any wing mirrors!

Will you be fitting the screen / rear view camera again?

Hmmm wonder why

Two rear view cameras, one for the GPS screen and one for my goggle monitor.

How are you feeding cool air to the rear mounted rad/heat exchanger? Also are you running the water flow to all these HE's in series or parallel?

The rear engine rads are feed cool air through the side naca ducts and have an electric circulation pump in line to aide in flow due to the added restriction in flow the rads alone will cause. These are on the head to heater flow circuit, Lotus use a small heat soak helper pump stock for the same purpose kinda..

Frank, will you be letting Matt and the TST boys have another go? I reckon he'll pee his pants given how scary he found the last one

It's looking bloody good, can't wait to see some footage of it.

I'm not sure since they really didn't show any of the real bits that make this car what it is... I will do some of my own videos showing it in the real world, if someone that knows what they are talkin about wants to do a bit on the car I get final say as to the content...

Facts are important..

Bloody hell Frank _ it hasn't broken down already has it?






Looking awesome fella.

[Mark B]

Looks incredible. Is it staying white, or do you plan any decals like the launch cars?
