But does the G-car manifold fit the 1988 Stevens cars?

Wow! Really nice engineering in that collector.

Where does the 1988 US turboesprit fit into this? The 1988 cars have the G-car like external wastegate in a Stevens car. Does the G-car manifold include a port for an external wastegate, preferably a commonly available modern external wastegate?

Is it still possible to buy some of these closeout parts? Is there a list of what is still available?

Yes, but the original poster did this WITHOUT the special donington frame or any spyder parts so he would have better pictures to share with the rest of us.

That sounds like a cool mod. Quite original thinking there. Any chance of getting some higher resolution photos of this? The small low res photos that are available from this forum are too small to make out details. Some photos of the whole plate between the antiroll bar mounts and a close up or two of the new control arm mount on the end of that plate would be useful as well. Thanks for sharing this idea.

I would like to buy one of these exhaust header setups as well. I just heard about the group buy. I am in Phoenix AZ USA.

BTW, so the photos of this cool diorama are not lost when the auction page goes away, I saved the pictures and uploaded them to an on-line photo album on PhotoBucket. -- Steven DuChene

Can someone post some photos of this Panasonic roof stereo thing? I have never seen one and I am curious.

Too bad the music is played instead of hearing the exhaust sounds of the cars while they are running. Other than that, nice vid

After picking up the bare 1991 frame from Sanj that I needed to repair my wrecked/bent 1990 Esprit SE, I took some photos of the bare frame. If anyone wants to see what a bare frame looks like: http://s685.photobucket.com/albums/vv215/StevenD57/Lotus_Esprit_1990/ There are a total of 27 photos of various bits of the frame. -- Steven DuChene

hmm, Interesting photo & conversion but that would mean I would need to find a spare UN1 laying about somewhere. I have to get the 1988 car running first and then we will see where to go from there.
