Active Exhaust Toyota MR2 - Let's Go For A Drive

- A brief ride along with screen overlays of the Arduino controller status and various settings controlled by the system. Including an exhaust cutout / bypass that forces the 3" flow through a 1.5" Toyota Yaris muffler in quiet mode.
I offer your next challenge. Active aero in the front, to prevent lift during high speeds. I see the Lamborghini svj has an illustration of how they did it as a reference.
I'm considering sealing the trunk and ducting radiator air out of the hood. That Lambo is on another level! I want to get to the actuator speed of the McLaren. That stuff I at least understand.
@@QuadCamSix let me correct myself, I meant to say to active aero to take away downforce. I see roughly a actuator controlled vent that sent airflow under the car instead of thru the radiator section. After seeing the visual demo it seemed doable but that's only because I keep watching this great channel 😀
Have you ever weighed your setup ? curious how light you've managed to make it. Still drooling over your work with the spoiler/wing.
It was 2042 lbs (1/3rd full fuel tank) before I removed the heavy FlowMaster exhaust or installed the wing actuators. The car should be somewhere between 15 and 20 lbs lighter than last time I weighed it just from swapping out the exhaust. I have also done things like replace the front bumper crash bar with a Magnesium alloy that weighs half as much. I will be putting it back on the scales this weekend if I have time. I am really curious too.
@@QuadCamSix wow that's impressive, nearly sub 900kg with a hardtop. I hope you keep posting on this build, it's genuinely exciting to see what you've been tinkering on. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽
@@Kapil-Patel FWIW, the car is down to 1988.8 lbs now.
Why did you forgo the Elise muffler?
Too small with the turbo. The car needed 3x as much flow. I did like the sound though.
