ik denk dat je een spelfoutje gemaakt hebt... vergelijk jouw toe-links eens met deze:

That's just adding weight When you install an uprated fuel pump, you've got the same output, no starvation, no plumbing, but enough fuel

and a high flow fuel pump (0,3kg with aluminium plate)

You see also the high flow pump on the right of the picture. It needs the catch tank in my case (track proved).

Today's job...just coming out of the mould ! -0.37kg

Ja sorry Yvo ,
tipfoutje ze komen van bij jou ! (www.elise-shop.com)

Now fitted on the car...

That serainly looks different and fits nicely in a half black interior.
I've seen 'em on the www in carbon, yours seems different material. What is it??

btw, how much time was spend polishing the floor plate. (that's sick)

It was not done for the look but for the weight. It's pur CF with epoxy but without polish. The floor is covered with translucid plastic.
When seats, central consol, dash board, doors etc.... will also be in carbon, it will look cool too.

For once, I am getting weight, but for safety issues...

I think I will fix it in front the passenger feet, using one inside and one outside cable controller to "fire" it on.

And also the electric circuit cut, same process.


This result of a bad 5,1 kg in extra weight, but super dupper extra light carbon parts are coming to balance the deal...

It looks like it is a gasfilled extinguisher instead of a foam or powder extinguisher.

Am I right? And do you know what type of gas is used?

You are right. This is filled with 2.25kg HFC gaz, replacing old Halon. This one you can breath. There is nothing left after, so no hesitation as soon as you see any kind of small smoke, you push it on.

Herman schreef: Where will you find 5 kg to compensate?

I am about to gain around 15kg on the rear body, 6kg on the front, perhaps few kilos on new rear lights too, new heating protection around the exhaust (-2kg), titanium screws (-0.6kg), rear CF diffuser and CF lateral air intake, and some stuff I still need to finalize like incorporating the boot cover in the rear pc so cutting off all fixation system and screws, same in the front, so a 30kg weight loss is foreseen (perhaps a little optimistic) in the next 3 month. I also planned new ligther brake discs front and rear this winter, so again around 4kg less.

And how many kilos can you save by training in the gym? Will be the cheapest kilos I gess

Respect for your project!
