After just 2 weeks I tuned it to 200hp and after 6 months at 237hp before doing the 2005 Sh4rk project mods!<br><br>

Costas, i managed to get a black & gold nose badge from Paul Matty's few months ago, they didnt know it had the right hole spacings until they compared it with a M100 one !
JPS M100 was built from bare chassis up to create one off M100 in the mould of JPS Team Lotus

OK!!!!!!!!!!! I am flying high of happyness!<br><br>I worked hours to learn how to use several programs in order to manage to upload files on www.sh4rk.gr and share them with you guys, the LEC ppl! My brains almost crushed because I encountered countless problems considering I am a total noob in internet stuff. <br><br>Anyways, I think I managed to do so, and i uploaded the first video. Initially it was a 25mb video file but to encourage the slow connections I shrank it to 4.5mb<br><br>This first video is a summury of the Sh4rk project posted in this thread. So if you are bored to read 27 pages of posting download this file:<br><br><br>http://www.sh4rk.gr/DSPdedicated.wmv<br><br><br>Now that I found the way to do it, many more to come!<br><br>Enjoy!<br><br>Costas<br><br><br>PS. I hope it works

Excellently done video Costas.  Until they get this back/leg thing of mine figured out I will be doing hands-on things to the car as it takes my mind off the pain (laying flat on my back on the creeper!... last night I fell asleep on the damn thing for 4 hours.  Tell me that's not relaxing!)  Keep the vids coming man.<br><br>Any luck with the nose badge?

I saw this thingy pointed by red arrow with Lotus writen on the seat belts at SY's classy interior. I was looking for them for a long time, how do you call them in English and where can I get them?<br><br>Cheers<br><br>Costas<br><br><br>Image

They're called a Seat Belt Cushion, a Seat Belt Pad, or sometimes a Seat Belt Cushion Pad.  I've seen them on eBay for just about every marque.

Those seat belt pads are are easily available from anyone driving a Nova around Royston Chavsey (Herts, UK).  They are for keeping the shoulder of your unused driving arm warm during a long stint of hanging out of the window around town at 15mph.<br><br>http://www.chavtowns.co.uk/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=304<br><br>http://www.chavscum.co.uk/<br><br>See also; <br><br>http://www.barryboys.co.uk/mx/<br><br>For further reading!<br><br>Sorry Sy!  ;D

I too was going to post something about those being for the  [smiley=gray.gif] types, but then I figured that at the sppeds Costas will be accelerating and stopping, with all his upgrades, he might find it helps keep his clavicle from fracturing as easily!   ;D
