Lotus Elise GT Widebody - Honda iVTEC K24 / Blipshift Test

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

After a two year conversion from a Lotus Sport 190 (Series 1) to a Honda powered widebody supercar, I took a few laps to sort things out. My driving skills are still a bit rusty after missing two seasons and I'm getting used to my new blipshift system for my H-pattern transmission. No need to heel/toe! It takes a little getting used to, but seems to work great!

    Thanks! I've watched nearly all your PPC videos. Looks like fun! I have this car for sale so I can buy a trike (powered hang glider). I was trying to GT a better look at the airfield in Belle Plain. I may try to fly it out of there. Rush ford looks gret!

    The only difference is some safety equipment that quite honestly after 15 years doesn't work or hold up to tech inspections. Couple that with the fact that in the US, no one really wants a Rover platform. Now the car is worth way more.

    Hi Ken, this system is combatable with synchromesh gearbox? The is no damage in synchros in clutchless downshift? Thanks,

    Νίκος I still used the clutch normally. This just eliminated the need to blip the throttle (heel/toe).

    I like the irony of having both a rear wing and no roof lol

    Actually, quite effective. Because the wing extends a full foot on each side beyond the cockpit, it has access to clean air. Can't argue that.

    +Ken McNeill well I suppose without a wind tunnel it's hard to debate either way usually lots of eddies form due to the lack of a roof

    +ZPERO How about a Radical? Ever driven one of those? That's an open top too. Don't need a wind tunnel to argue its performance. As long as the wing gets clean air (even on each side over the rear wheels), down force will be realized at speed. The center of the wing doesn't matter much.

    +Ken McNeill well Radicals are definitely pretty radical (lol), I'm pretty sure one of the SR8 versions holds the nurburgring record and they only have about 430 HP... Eh idk you might be right
