Haha, I guess your aerodynamic front helps you to come closer

Last week I made an oil change, and had a little surprise: The oil pressure meter was loose. I found out, that the screw, that supposed to be fixed to the can wasn´t. I got a new OPM from VDO installed, and now it´s also not leaking any more Pics will follow... The broken OPM. Everything else works fine. We went on a track (Spreewaldring) south of Berlin on Sunday - just great: - Audi TT RS Coupé - Audi TT RS Convertible - BMW Coupé - VW Golf II with V6 engine - Lotus Esprit Sport 350 On 23. October we´ll have the next track day. I hope for good weather!!

Thanks for the correction. I only had in mind that your Esprit consumes more

Maybe you can ask Mike Sekinger, where he got the seat for my Sport 350 from. They are carbon seats, and I love them! They give good side, and leg support and look awesome.

While trying to install the software, it´s said that VBAJet32.dll had an access violation. I tried to PM you, Peter, but your mailbox is full Any suggestions?

Haha, I know, what you mean with "noise", and I guess everyone else, who has ever driven his Esprit fast knows, too. I upgraded my noise canceling stereo with speakers behind the seats. But at some speed nothing helps - maybe the earplugs

Douglas Valley Breakers might have the Sport 350 seats from the engine burned one! Here is the link: http://www.douglasvalley.co.uk/item.asp?prodid=2723&spg=71&pgid=2 But I guess you have to resaddle them...

I heard, that in the US you also have E25 / E 85 (means, 25% ethanol). Is that right? Günther has experiences with his Esprit and running on alcohol (E85). He has about 10% more fuel consumption, due to the lower fuel value. But it works, too!

I took a look in the Esprit Owner´s Handbook: page a48 The so called "Gasohol" (" A mixture of 10% ethanol (grain alcohol) and 90% unleaded gasoline may be used in the Lotus Esprit.") is the E10. But if there are any problems, it´s recommended to use gasoline. Personally, I mix between Super 95 and Super Plus (98).

A little Update: I made the Main Beam Modification from the LEW (http://www.andywhittaker.com/Cars/LotusEspritGT3/MainBeamModification/tabid/87/Default.aspx), and I´m very pleased with it! After some time, finding the right relai at Conrad, I finally got it. If someone is interested and wants to get the relai from Germany, here is the article number from Conrad: 504403. The enlightment costs EUR 2,80

Hey Mike, nice progress! But you could have cleaned the gear box, too

I had to reinstall my laptop after an infection. Now I have the problem, that while installing, the set-up program tells me, it´s unable to copy some of the files to the folder windows/system32/*** and another folder. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Hello everyone, I think, the owner of the car has to comment on this topic, for he has the best perception on what is going on. Which is ... ME ! It is true, that when I arrived in Berlin, I had a problem with the caliper. I guess, I posted it in the Phoenix thread. Günter helped me with that and due to his expertise he percepted a strange knocking from the bulkhead. The problem was, that the water cooling was to close to the bulkhead and had contact, which gave this weired noise. I fixed it quite easily, with Günters instructions. Then there was a much bigger problem: One of the screw
