Forums Forums Superdavelotus : Lotus Esprit V8 GT twin turbo

Car looks v nice, spoiler looks high, but goes with the car.

I used shoe polish on my seats, seemed to do the job.

The spolier is a bit high but now I can see through the rear view mirror! On my last car the spoiler was a design fault, you couldn't see anything through the rear view mirror.
Also last spoiler was attached to body and getting access to the engine and boot was a nightmare! The new car's spoiler is attached to the tailgate and is out of the way when you access the boot.

Really nice that mate. can't wait to see that on the rolling road.

LOVELY CAR. U go dave

Thanks Peeps for the good comments! Bought an alloy bee sting aerial on Ebay the other day for only £2.49!! Had nothing to lose. The Ebay seller was recommended to me. There are others for only £0.99 but not sure whether you would end up receiving the goods click me

Just bought this last night. Decided on the Blitz mainly due to the price really 100 sheets. Iam only raising boost by a bit as gearbox won't take much more than standard.
Iam also going to buy a temperature sender and digital gauge from Maplin for 15 notes. This will tell me what my intake temperature is and it refreshes every second. As I increase by boost it will tell me how much the temperature is raised.

Will fit it at the weekend and order some green cotton filters and CAT bypass pipes.

good man dave at least your being sensible with your power increases so not to put too much strain on the rest of the car

Gary, Iam only going to take boost up from 0.65BAR (9.5PSI) to 0.75BAR (11PSI). The car's pulling 350BHP anyway which is plenty quick enough. The other good thing is that the stock boost solenoid bleeds air as the turbo is spooling up whereas the new one closes it off until boost in well in. This in theory should make less turbo lag. Whether I feel the difference is another matter.

Dave that's one sexy car mate Plans sound ace too, 500bhp

Just taken some pics of the alloy buttons and may boost controller fitted

Sweet Dave there looking neat

Thanks Webmaster!

those buttons look like the buttons found on my dash ????? lotus using 106 buttons or the other way round? interesting

Hi there, Lotus on Elise, Exige and Esprit 98 on use Peugeot buttons!You can buy these aluminium covers either to go round the outside for abbout £15 or half moon with dimples for around £20.
I have both sets. I'll show you at the next meet if I see you there.
Lotus are always on tight budgets so have to design their cars from a parts bin of other cars!

After a lot of thought decided to replace my alloys for these...


After fitting them though, Iam not convinced that they look any better. Will keep them on for a few weeks then decide what to do. Iam having my brake kit fitted any day now so this may make the wheels look better.
