  1. Unfortunately not. It’s been a while since I had the console off. It could also have been one continues bracket and it was riveted into the plastic body of the console with the leather cover atop. Without it hooking under the dash opening the console would not stay in place.
  2. The ‘radio end’ of the cover has 2 L shaped metal brackets that hook under the dash opening and hold the cover down on that end. Other side, 3 self tapping screws that also hold down the central cover with the window switches, as previously said by the guys.
  3. Prioritising SEO over UX is like putting the cart before the ox. In my subjective view it’s a mistake. Particularly since the quality and value of the forum is powered by user created content. The previous chapter based look was great. Now it’s complicated and messy. Just feedback @Bibs
  4. Easiest way to get to better illumination in my view is to change the standard bulbs to LED bulbs. Done that with mine and they are plenty bright. Easy access from the boot. If you change the indicators to LEDs you have to change the indicator relay as well or else they will not work correctly. got my bulbs here https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk
  5. Photoshoot with the Lotus Singapore crew atop of their building
  6. Keeping it blue, have a look at this blue modified Thai S4. Spotted by one of our classic car club members.
  7. @Andyww I guess that’s yours. Well placed mate.
  8. The temps you measure don’t sound unreasonable for a normally running engine in my opinion. Inaccurate dash temp gauge would be my best guess. Are the veglia gauges powered by a voltage regulator like in the later 910 versions?
  9. Singapore National Day classic car meeting today. Good turnout. I was chatting with a few of the local 911 guys. First thing they asked me if the esprit is reliable.. well, turns out that their 88’ onward cars had 2 or respectively 3 engine rebuilds. My 83’ LTE is still on its original engine and running strong, bulletproof. So much for reputation 🤦🏻‍♂️…
  10. Respectable result for a 1993 LTE at FOS Bonhams action https://www.bonhams.com/auction/27997/lot/278/1983-lotus-turbo-esprit-series-3-coupe-chassis-no-scc082910dhd114-engine-no-cd910830420762/
  11. Here’s an update. The single condensing radiator install on my car wasn’t sufficient after all. I have since doubled it up following the later Esprit model style. Now we’re good and cool. The peterbuilt condenser size above looks good; please keep us in the loop on how you progress @Scaldcat
  12. Just got the shipment. The SJ poly bushes are delivered in split form.. 🤔
  13. It is. 😔should that ever change I’ll let you know mate
  14. Thanks. This one is my own vector file and a friend of mine made them here in Singapore. I think I actually uploaded the file in this forum some time ago.
