Re: Your fleet running reports
@andybond Im presuming you are stiffening the damping for track use? I run the damping on mine quite low for road and tighten it up for track use. If you are not fussed about it compromising the road use then stiffer springs with definitely reduce roll on track. British Sports Car Services run two ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
As you say most of your use is on road. I wouldn’t go stiffer springs as it would compromise the road use. What dampers do you have on it? Softer arb on the front would in theory give slight more oversteer and better turn in. Elise/exiges are setup to have a bit of roll in them. The 52’s are sticky...

Re: Your fleet running reports
My new exhaust sounded erm. I dont really know! I have a new lid as well and that basically renders most external noises null and void so I cannot tell. I am awaiting some videos of other track goers to get a better impression. Any clips? Not sure about the rear pipe...deffo needs a nicer tip. Also...

Re: Your fleet running reports
A few words about my trackday at Blyton. Whilst I appreciate its old ground for me having been there perhaps 8 or 9 times now its also a very familiar test track. I do tend to take the exige on the road but I would never dream of cornering on a B road like I do on track. For those at the back who h...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Back to an old stomping ground this weekend with ClioSport and TurboRenault. Took a friend out in the exige and this is what he had to say. https://i.imgur.com/E1NsrDv.jpg Delighted with that Can also confirm the front ARB changed have helped the turn in. Nowhere near so much diving and understeer.

Re: Your fleet running reports
I idly browsed remaps yesterday and these guys reckon 180bhp / 400Nm (=295 ft-lb) ! That's an immense increase, and might actually make it OK for towing the Compact. Is it realistic ? Will it grenade the entire transmission immediately ? https://www.cscmotors.com/tuning-services/vehicle-stats/Merce...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Looks great! Shame about the offset exhaust, though surely you could get the 25mm back from the 'U' pipe? Cut 25mm off the end that goes into the smaller box and slide it to the right 25mm? Good to see someone still doing trackdays! We mostly seem to have become boring :lol: Sorted it since last po...

Re: Your fleet running reports
It appears I have spammed TF out of this thread. No apologies. :D The 240R wheels are perfect. My 2nd favourite wheel (after the S1 Victories, obvs) Ever tried or been interested to moving to the S3 Exige? I don’t have much desire to goto a s3. Yet. I like the nimbleness of the s2 and I think if I ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Its all very superficial. When I wire brush the parts the surface rust falls off. I probably will get it coated in something at some point. Just not this week .

What a stupendously good day at Donington Park on a baltic weathered but dry trackday. Did 86mi on track. Used 56l of fuel. Todays mileage 186mi. By the powers that be on the internet thats a cool 15.1mpg The new a052 are freakishly grippy. Whilst I appreciate I was running used AD08R these gripped ...
