My foot is lighter than a feather  ;D<br><br>Car is at last at my hands, I am full of joy, but unfortunatelly I was so drifted with completion details that forgot my camera at the Lotus Workshop.... <br><br>All I can say for once more is "I have a smile all over my face".

Sh4rk is 99% ready, minor details remain to be done and will do so by the end of this week.<br><br>Here are some more pictures...<br><br>The NOS Bottle at final installation with the electrovalve on.<br><br><br>Detail of NOS Installation at engine bay<br><br><br>The Purge valve pipe end (theres 2 of them)<br><br><br>NOS Instruments Air/Fuel, Pyrometer, Nitrus Pressure(The installation is not complete, the whole pack will be dressed-covered with leather) <br><br><br>The interior with the NOS instruments top left and the NOS switches bottom right. The NOS Instruments may be looking white but when the engine is on they turn orange-red same colour as Elan Instruments.<br><br><br>

<br>nice job costas ;D<br><br>you are going to have the fastest elan in the world (for about 4 miles then BOOM).  ;)

Yeap! I am told so allready, thx. I do prefer it that way than have any problems with local police who for some reason lately are going mad against nitrous users. <br>

<br>...and you don't think the police will notice all your new instruments.?.   ::)

I am gonna have fun anyways.<br><br>Fact is that risk is minimized a bit, but off course not eliminated. <br><br>Life without any risk is to die of boredom.

If it is to happen, I allready have a spare engine waiting for me <br><br>We shall see, I hope nothing goes wrong but I definately tried that even a so pumped engine will proove to be as much reliable as possible.<br><br>In a few weeks time we will know, at the moment the new turbine is set at 0.5 bar (hardly spins since I dont go over 4000rpm) and NOS is disabled. After a couple of weeks and with some hundred kms added to the engine, I shall release the power. Then for good or for worse we shall see what happens.<br><br>Fact is that I enjoyed every single day that the Sh4rk Project was building up and now that I drive again Sh4rk I always have a smile all over my face.

Where can I upload some small videos (0.5Mb each) to get an idea of the Sh4rk?  ;D<br><br>The Picture Fttp doesnt allow video files to be uploaded  :(

[Sy V]

Costas<br><br>Send them to me...I'll try them on my site this evening.

[Sy V]

I've just got a couple of clips from Costas.  I'll try hosting them this evening...you are going to LOVE these!<br><br> ;D

Patience!

Try this: (right click -> "Open in new window" seems to work OK for me)<br><br>[ftp]http://www.vickers.eclipse.co.uk/Shark-04.mpg[/ftp]<br><br>[ftp]http://www.vickers.eclipse.co.uk/Shark-05.mpg[/ftp]

[Costas]

SY TY very much for doing this!<br><br>Sh4rk-04 small video is how the engine roars and how the Cold Air Intake sounds at 4000rpm only since I cant go more at the moment. Imagine that at 7000rpm including the Bleed valve which is sleepy at 4000rpm.<br><br>Sh4rk-05 small video is how the NOS Purge valves look like in action and amazingly most people that witnessed the Sh4rk Project are talking about the purge valve (which is minor detail, yet showtime) mostly than any other Mod I ve made!!! <br><br>As soon as I get the engine smoothed out and go over 4000Rpm will take some descent videos on track...

[Doug]

Costas, KICK ASS on those purge vents!!  [smiley=thumb.gif]<br><br>People are going to s**t themselves if they want to race you and you do that  ;D<br><br>Better load the boot with lots of NOS bottles for the drive to the UK -- better have some left when you get there.   >:(<br><br>Nitro, you'd better watch this video STAT before you mount your purge  ;D

[Game-on]

Not working for me, just a load of letters ?<br><br>Game-on

[M6TT F]

Works for me on the PC, but got the letters/numbers on my mac.<br><br>Those purge valves are crazy!!! it looks like a bull snorting!!!<br><br>superb

Have you tried:<br><br>Right Click -> "Save Target As"?
