Yeah. Its unbelivable.He's only slower than a Formula three open wheeler that day.keep an eye out. Its a early model silver elise with Queensland plates
I've seen one of Joe McCarthy's Elises' walking away from a 996GT3 at California Speedway so it doesn't surprise me.

The Lotus Elise guys post there in the motorsport section, look for a guy called Serran.
Couldn't help but reply to this topic, as a former Lotus Elise owner (Series 1).
In the UK/Europe they install honda K20 (incl. supercharged), Audi 1.8T engine ( 250 - 330 hp), and Ford Duratec engine - lots of choices :)
FYI There are lots of warnings about dealings with Joe Macarthy, including loss of money and poor quality components.
This may be old news to you, but a few sites of interest.
www.aussieelises.com - another guy has done the transplant recently and I think his business does a complete drivein-driveout swap for about $20-$25,000 (the swap is 10,000 pounds in the UK, so pretty similar).
www.seloc.org - the most popular Lotus Elise site in the UK with lotsa info on honda swaps
www.elise-r.co.uk - a guy who was doing the swap
www.elisetalk.com - the US lotus elise site.
www.dyno-plot.co.uk - theres some good dyno plots for honda and audi engines (incl supercharged honda)
Its a great combo, the honda engine & the elise, and there are heaps of them in the UK, and recently in Oz.
Have fun. I miss the old elise (except during summer when its as hot as buggery) :)
wow it soudns fantastic. can't wait to see and hear more abouyt it :D
LOL, that's the Prototype Racing K24 Elise.Quote:
