I wouldn't take it just anywhere. After I had my second gear replaced by the local Lotus tech, it took 3 tries before the roll pins stopped leaking. They are tricky to get right and require a special tool that I doubt Joe's Auto repair would have..

No that's not me. Although I think that car has been spotted in Santa Monica also. I don't know who the owner is though. http://exoticspotter.com/list.php?page=0&a...mp;location=all

V8 Jack storage position, up or down?
gmendoza replied to outtamyway's topic in Misc including parts cross references
My jack is on top of the plastic cover facing up. -
No, I added the water injection. It's not dialed in yet. After the run I found out I was loosing 30rwhp WITH the water injection. Now, I'm waiting for smaller jets. As for the Z06, you can see in the second link that I posted where he pulled on me a bit. Thanks. I did not get a chance to run Allan's modded Gallardo. That would have been a really close race. Maybe next time he comes down here.

Well, it looks like weather is not cooperating. I don't think I'm going.

Thanks Shah. Where've you been? Are you planning on attending the final CC? Actually the Gallardo SE is a lilttle quicker than the Murci. So I guess you can say bye bye Murci too. Thanks, It seems like the clip of that same Gallardo and my Esprit reving has already become a classic too. No silencing, just straight pipes.

Here's another view. It's the fourth vid down. http://www.socalspeedzone.com/pages/ld100806.html

I most likely am. Are you?

That Corvette is no where near stock. It has about twice the hp than it had when it left the factory. I would consider my car mildly modded. I have a Red ECU, upgraded wastegates, Blitz boost controller set at 12psi, no cats, dump valves and water injection. Although I just found out yesterday that I was spraying too much water costing me hp instead of gaining any.

My Esprit vs Gallardo SE vs 600rwhp Z06 enjoy Sometimes it goes private for some reason.

Yup, I did go. It was awesome. Hopefully the vids will be up soon.

Aren't the turbos oil & water cooled?

Yes the Exige S will be here in the states in a few months and it will be a supercharged 4-cyl with 218 hp. South Bay Lotus (Southern CA) already has 3 ordered.

I was thinking about this. When you are stopped at a light, do have you foot on the clutch or do you keep it in neutral?
-
Same here. Although I agreed to send him photos in exchange for a signed copy of the book. Recently I received an email stating that since he had to get a new publisher, his small buget doesn't allow him to give away copies.
-
Is that your car or one just like it? It seems like that vid was posted by Kato.

Sounds like this was your first sign of a problem, def clutch related. http://www.glcforum.com/esprit/forums/inde...?showtopic=5748

Engine sound of the Esprit V8
gmendoza replied to FrogsterPL's topic in Lotus / Motoring / Cars Chat
It just shows how small the Esprit community is. The Interior acceleration vid is also my car. I forgot about that vid. The second vid is of a car I almost bought before I bought mine. I recognized the plate. -
Wow, that's impressive for a stock gearbox; specially considering your hp levels and half-sec 1-2 shifts.

Engine sound of the Esprit V8
gmendoza replied to FrogsterPL's topic in Lotus / Motoring / Cars Chat
Here's my V8 and a Gallardo. I have straight exhaust and BOV valves. -
Hey Rydning, what gearbox are you running?
