Supercharged Lotus Elise

[mountainbiking101]

AMAZING!!!! I can't wait until next time I come out when the weather is good and go for a ride. I'll have to bring my integra out one year and take you for a spin or maybe next time you come to the bay.

What supercharger are you using, and what're you putting down at the wheels?

I'm interested in doing the VFC supercharger on my Elise when I get it.

Or a Katana.

[DionysisX]

Sounds like a bike! Very very nice car :)

[SabaothChristou]

Hah, this is awesome! I saw your Elise SC and 911 Carrera at the carshow at ERAU last Sunday. I'm a member of the CMA that set it up.. Looks like an absolute blast!

[DionysisX]

Are you Greek or Cypriot? Cuz Christou is definitely that kind of name ;)

[finlay230]

I thought we had fun roads in the NC Mountains, but you dont get flat straight aways like that for sure! I just bought my BWR Supercharger, so ill post a reply from the mountains when i run it...

[AZCarrera]

Looking forward to seeing your run on video. Be sure to subscribe so we can see it. And, yes, we have the best twistie roads in America (don't tell anyone!) LOL

[BanjoBanana]

Man, that Elise sounds amazing! Is it stock? I mean, I can hear the exhaust isn't stock, but did it come with the supercharger or is that a mod? It certainly flies. It's good to see it driven as the makers intended!

[AZCarrera]

CJ! Saille sure looks cute (but she doesn't look 39 at all)! LOL

NO NO Not stock at all. We out the supercharger on a couple of months ago. We did it with the clamshell on. There's a snake header and exhaust system, forced air system, harness belts and a few other things like sticky (very sticky) tires and a driver who knows how to work her!

[mdique77]

Dude, youre not pushing the elise hard enough around the turns seems like you shy away from the accelerator at the corners. The elise takes alot more than that and the corners are where the real fun is, not the straights. If theres no slight tire screech on the corners, you could push more. Its like on rails or something. :D

[AZCarrera]

Interesting advice for you to suggest to anyone else how hard you think they should drive their car. There is a balance between those limits and safer practices when on public road ways. On the track the limits would be very different "dude". Could tire screech be relative to the type tires (ya think? "Real fun" is in the straights my friend, the turns, acceleration and,oh yea, hearing how you would drive your car,if you had one! Show us your Lotus and lets see how you drive it. Don't be shy.

[ninjagod1337]

Buuuuuuuurn.

[nls8520]

I am interested in the elise, What would you compare the acceleration of the elise to?, Does it pin you in your seat type power? I am more used to american muscle but I have owned a boxster.

[AZCarrera]

The Elise is a sweet ride. That said the Boxster (unless you have an "S") is not as quick or quite as sticky in the turns. The Porsche is more comfortable and easier to get parts (OE or after-market) The acceleration is difficult to compare to a muscle car, the Lotus is smoother and far lighter for superior handling and stopping. The Elise is a very limited use vehicle and not very passenger or luggage friendly but... oh boy, what a thrill to drive!

[knottyone]

Re: Boxster opinion. The Boxster can be quite quick and sticky if you have the proper after-market modifications. There are no absolutes!

ps- air-cooled 911's suck...air. =)

[AZCarrera]

Gotcha LD!!

All I can say is that if anyone knows "suck" it's a Boxster driving asshole from Southern California! LOL

When you gonna roll that little dog out and see what "hot into the corner" is really all about?

Happy Birthday!!

[iamapoeticgirl]

i love my bwr s/cer!

[nls8520]

Dude that looks like 2 much fun where are u doing the 140mph?

[AZCarrera]

Northern Arizona

[ragingxtc]

is that 89a heading into prescott? good road, just have to watch for the cops... they got me :-P.

[AZCarrera]

No comparison between the application of the Sector 111 and BWR. The BWR has it all. Nice people, readily available if you need any questions answered and perfect computer adjustments (included). The kit and all install instructions and illustrations were dead on and made it a fairly easy task, even with the clam shell on!

[ShortySIG552]

Is this the BWR or the Sector 111 kit?

[ShortySIG552]

And are you missing a speaker grille?

[AZCarrera]

Black Water Racing (Great unit and install instructions/kit)

[HeliRy]

Isn't it Black Watch Racing? Anyhoo.... have you tried both them and S111? Looking into a used Elise to mod out and curious about both tuners.

[AZCarrera]

Yep, it's Black Watch Racing, just a little joke with them... Comps with other Lotus guys seem to indicate a taste for the BWR due to it's all inclusive support and "quicker and nicer" brain work people. Just an opinion. BWR seems flawless.

[apizzo109]

=) BWR VS S111

It's On...
