Quick video from cars and coffee Chester. Esprit convoy.

Been having a play around with the data logging and dashcam and found some really nice software to combine the two. It's called dashware.

The fronts are custom made. The rears are modified from another vehicle to accept the original bearings. Will dig out the drawings on my old pc for you.

Would anyone know anything about the evora s that's for sale in the Watford area. The orange one on the for sale site.
I've had my esprit for 15 years and my brother in law is looking to join the lotus club by getting an evora s.
Is the owner of the car a member of the forum?

All booked in for Monday for rolling road. Mot has been done and car has now done 6 nervous miles. All gears work and nothing fell off so hopefully all will be ok on the rolling road.

After a week of design and build my rear spoiler is now an active spoiler. It's wired through the engine management so I can alter the speeds that operates under braking. I'm reinforcing the tailgate to take the additional loading that will be created.

Had to change the hubs for the discs and spigot for the wheels . Also there are 6 magnets on the rear of the hub for the hall effect speed sensors for the traction control and speedometer .
Will take some pictures of the front end.

Exhausts now built. Will do a video tomorrow . It sounds awesome. Not too loud just very deep.

Hopefully the tailgate should still fit. I modified it some years ago to fit over the supercharger. i
If you look at my profile picture you can see the supercharger through the glass.

Love this
Do you have a build thread for it somewhere?
I'd like to know a bit more about something you mention earlier in this thread, about cross member and "packaging" in the engine bay.
And especially one item of packaging: Exhaust manifolds and system...
That's correct the cross member spans from where the original engine mounts bolt to the chassis.
These are the mounts before I fitted them. The logic is as if they fail the engine can't move too far as the bolt through the bush is encased within the the circular section

I am loving that - the dash looks ace - the engine sounds amazing.
really hope you get to brooklands - I really want to see it ?
Thanks for the feedback about the dash. It's also a sat navigation and forms part of a security system .
Can select different types of gauges etc and even check O2 readings from each bank of cylinders

Why do you want to use a dual mass flywheel. The best option would be to machine a flywheel to suit your needs and not to use a dual mass as they are extremely unreliable.
