The lift I catch closes at 2:14 - 2:16 (you've finished the level by now!)
In my defence, I am a 1.1 PAL user and 2:47 is pretty much a perfect run for me, allthough I flapped when I made the lift and reopened it as it were closing and probably cost myself 2-3 secs. But 2:47 is a lot better than my 3:15, 3:14 and most recent 3:09.
I actually made the lift once before the 2:47 and some 2@ called it upstairs, so I missed my floor! I were well pi$$ed!
Anyways it's in my getfile so take a look if you like. If you think you can supply some healthy tips I would appreciate it, as i'm allways looking for self improvement.
