Lotus Elise Cup250FE
LOL!!
First run, mine got 112bhp
Daves worked out at 184bhp at the fly I think.
I ran mine again and came out at 179 iirc at the fly, so really no idea what was going on with the first run.
Hope to get it tested again soon once the pro-speed is fitted.
Andy?? Any chance of another Saturday run?

ok, i cant really remember the exact result for cocpops, it was around 120 atw initially and then his second run was around 130 I think, mine was 142 atw I think which they worked out to be 184bhp but lots of people contested it and it ended in arguments but I was happy anyway.
Even though there was a difference in mine and cocopops figures we went for a burn and there wasnt anything in it so we werent quite sure what happened to Lees result?
I guess it all depends what RR you go to though as they will all be different, the only real purpose of it it go gauge what a mod does by testing it on the same RR.

oh well, that took me ages to write as I am watching the Farm so sorry.
So have most 182 owners got their full allocation of engine power?
By the way, has anyone compared a 182 with Cup chassis to a 172 Mk II? Is there a marked difference in acceleration (eg. 30-50, 30-70, 50-70, etc)? And if so, anyone with comparative data?
One aspect I do not understand is why Renault have quoted the 0-62 mph time as 7.1 sec. Autocar has timed 0-60 in 6.3. Evo has done 0-62 in 6.6 (in wet conditions). Any comments on these irregularities? I understand that it might be related to how you run the car in. I remember Benr suggesting that you should probably rev the car from day 1. This is to get adequate engine seals. By caning the car from the start, does this ensure full compression ratio?
Lastly, CAR magazine suggested that the next generation Clio is likely to have 200 bhp with a 0-60 time in 6.5s. Does this imply that the all-new Clio will be significantly faster than the 182 Cup, both in terms of outright acceleration and handling? Surely RenaultSport cannot do this, otherwise they will dilute the RS Megane experience (& figures). What are the rumours surrounding this all-new Clio? So should I wait to upgrade my current 172 Mk II?
