I want to replace and re-hang my older tips that have rust pits and sag a bit. The car already has the stock muffler removed; so I need the diameter of the tubing that comes out of the stock cats, anyone? Thanks for any info.......

How long did it take you to change your plugs? Is 16lbs torque the right spec for the plugs?

I ended up with three sunroofs. I am now selling one. My car is a 1999. Will the roof fit a 1988? What model years are able to switch sunroof-s?

................................................................................ ......................Thanks for the input. Andy no longer works for Lotus but the young woman I spoke with was very helpful. My car will get new belts since it is within the time frame.

First; this is a great sight for info. My 1999 V8 has 10k on it and never had belts. Having them looked at this week, Does Lotus USA help on these belts if I'm not the original owner and the fact it's a '99? Was bought new in 2/00. It is going in for a clutch; Seems premature to me but it shudders from a dead stop and I smell burnt clutch. Anyone else replaced a clutch at these low of miles?? After I get over this and have full inspection; depending what all is needed and suggested; I was interested in the new round style tail lamps (02-04). Seen it done on a few other Esprits but don't know where they get the parts. Anyone have help on this??? ....Thanks for any help........
