Someone emailed about the Lotus, reliablity and power. So far the car is a reliable car, knock on wood. I wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere. Power, is isn't bad. I had soem free time at a friends shop and ran the car on the dyno. It produced 267hp at the rear wheels, 285 lb/ft of torque - not bad for a timy four. I'll post the dyno sheet as well. There is a lot more to be had since this thing is pig rich, as one can tell from the A/F. This was on moderate boost, around 14lbs. I do run it at higher levels of boost too, on manual control, but the computer has problems with doing that. Maybe I can get it sorted.
Right now though I'm concentrating on finishing my private pilot licence, in case people have wondering why there is no progress on the 40. Reason being is that we're moving soon and this flying club is 15 miles away right now, best to do it while I can. After the move it will be a lot harder to devote the time to learning as I'll be around 45 minutes away.
