Last pic of my Exige

Is it going somewhere?

[Bibs]

Lost in translation, I think 'latest' is better

This video was supposed to be a V6 vs GT4 showdown, unfortunately the owner had not collected yet. So he brought his 458 Speciale instead. Pretty sure he was holding back on the straights, but it was  good blast. Unfortunately I had the onboard camera set up really badly:

Great track and lovely conditions. What a car the V6 is... had a few laps (helped by traffic) with a LaFerrari earlier in the day, unfortunately no cameras running.

great video, with a good sound recording for once ! your ExiVe  sounds great !

 

[LF1]

Yea, all my videos have the sound from a camera mounted above the exhaust.

Looks like fun Tom, not sure I'd bother with a GT4 if I had a Speciale but there you go!

If you're using a GoPro you need to put the spot meter function on (the icon looks like the Japanese flag). I was pulled up on this on my own videos, it's really useful for in-car footage as it gets the exposure right for the centre of the image which is usually the windscreen. We won't be able to see your skills as clearly but we'll get a much better idea of the view out of the window. 

 

[LF1]

Not sure I not sure I would either. I had a ride in the 458 too, lovely car. He's the guy that is driving the Type R in my Goodwood video. Looking forward to getting on track with the GT4 though!

Normally I have it set up right. I changed it when I had it on the bonnet in the Alps. Forgot to put it back unfortunately.

Exige from HK!

picked up a month ago. Amazing car!

Very interesting setup.... I didn't think you could run volks on the original offset how have you done it?

also who manufacturers that rear engine hatch and wing?

thanks

Welcome to TLF Jimmy.

Car looks great in that colour.

You should duck over to the Introductions area and say hi in there as well.

 

[Jim Chan]

Thank you!

As a matter of fact, Volks does make rims using the original offset. Another good option is the new ZE40, very light, about 6.5kg according to them.

The carbon engine hatch and rear wing, you can order them from Komotec. I have talked to the dealer in HK, he said these parts are designed and made in HK. I am not too sure about that, but I get them from the dealer.

Its a guy called HKFever,  Google him ,

Do Exige S2 carbon parts like the door panel, central console and dash etc fit the S3?

[Arun_D]

Welcome Jimmy. Really nice Cup you have there. Looks so purposeful with the cage!

Yes, those bits should fit the S3, but things like the light switch panel have been changed from S2, when considering dash parts.

[Jim Chan]

Is it possible to change to the mesh type for the rear as in the Cup R?

[Arun_D]

That would mean cutting your existing rear clamshell or a fitting a whole new one, as all that rear panel is integral to the clam

[LF1]

A few laps of Spa over the weekend, first session after lunch, still quite damp in places:

28mins in? I don't think so, it was @gpslf1, his first time at Spa. I don't remember anyone following me for that length of time, and no one passed me all day

Is that the SmartyCam setup you are using - quality looks good, far better than the VBox stuff.

[Greg²]

28 mins in the video. If I remember well.... begining of afternoon (14:00)

Yes, it is. Smartycam to SoloDL to CAN OBDII connector.
Complete setup and really easy to use as it start/stop automaticely. Sound and video quality is not so good than a GoPro, but far more usefull.

[Arun_D]

Really liking that camera setup! Very smart.

A couple of mine recently in the winter sunshine...
