I'm not jumping up and down and certainly not getting arsey. I'm just saying it as I see it.
I've published the open length info above.
What hope is there for the clever stuff....? Might want to ask Lotus as Lotus Sports are now fitting Nitrons as standard equipment to ALL Lotus Exige cup cars and are currenctly negotiating carrying that over to all Sport models also. But I'm sure they know less than you too Simon
You might want to re-read some of your posts then....
Also, you don't think commercial realities might have something to do with Lotus supplier choices? Lotus went with Ohlins for the 2 ways on the Exige/2-11's, Ohlins can make some excellent dampers, but the cost limitations meant that the ones Lotus spec'ed and got are really cheap and not a patch on the quality items Ohlins can make.
Its not just about ride height
No, it's not, although it's clearly related
Just to comment on your very last comment there.. Where would you suggest people learn from?
Good question, I was about to say you ask questions, however, as we have just seen, people without a clue are quite happy to answer in an authoritative tone as if they do.
A lot of it is actually quite straight forward if you start looking at it from the right end.
this specific one about damper lengths is a good example, it's pretty easy to measure up the lengths required on your own car, then spend the time getting your head round the requirements.
Obviously when you get to the actual valving of the dampers, this is something that most people are not equipped or have the facilities to get into, it's also where it becomes very much open to subjective input.
i think its the hard points are different on the Europa, not the elise , as I posted
I would be surprised if that were the case? (never measured one up, but I can see no difference between a VX and Europa sub-frame that would lead to a change in hard points?)
I'm not suggesting they're using VX shocks on an Exige although I can see how my post to Chris may be construed in such a manner. I don't for one second think you believe i did mean that though, more you took it as a tenuous point with which to discredit.... typical. I was using the comments as a defence at your high and mighty claims that Nitron cannot handle even basics which clearly isn't true if Lotus are now using them ahead of any other brands.... Not sure what you're accusing me of saying that's tosh mate but I don't really care. You've been banned from forums and race series up and down the country for the way you are so I'm not going to lose any sleep over your comments. I don't know as much as Simon 'the saviour' Scuffham on these matter and do not claim to do so but I do know your type and I can see how you manipulate half truths to make your point and see how disrespectful you are to people.
Sorry, that's exactly what you said, if you did not want that interpretation, learn to write less ambiguously.
Also, your getting personal now, which is pretty funny considering what I get accused of most of the time.
Nearly 1/2 way to 7 pages.. Keep it going
Sadly, yes....
