UPDATE:
"Well, in five years of CAFE events, we've never shifted a major event date...
until now. Weather simply looks too ominous to stick to our original date of this coming Saturday, March 28. The new date for Motori Italiani will be one week later on SATURDAY, APRIL 4. "

I wish I could make it, but as usual I have class!
I would love to check out your Exige, Rhythmaker. How do you like the BWR S/C?

sucks you cant join. Would love to catch up one day though. maybe make a run to the mountains? A'lil'brit thats on here would join us too. He has a very bad ass blacked out Elise. I love the supercharger. Went in on the group buy last August through Lotustalk.com so got it for pretty cheap. Did the install myself with my brother over a weekend back in October. was scary as hell to do but was really a straight bolt- on application... aside from removing the rear clam and relocating the alternator! As for the power difference; quite significant to say the least. The ECU reflash makes a big difference too. Cam switchover is at 5k and you stay well in the power band when aggresively driving/ shifting. Feels awesome to drive. |
