Jacques Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 Trying to find out, without taking things apart So, I'd like to ask if someone knows the specific weight of the standard flywheel on a Lotus Esprit Turbo SE?

Erikl Posted December 30, 2021 Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 What's up? Are you thinking light weight flywheel? I dont know the answer, surely Esprit Changes knows, he has made several custom light weight fly wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Posted January 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Mnaaaa, nothing is for sale I am afraid. I need it all to make up my new supershifter/superbox. I've been collecting parts for the project through the last 4-5 years, albeit very slowly, but hey, such is life sometimes. One get held up by "funny" situations, such as loosing the garage and pit, breaking of the daily bicycle aluminium frame, building nice little parts in titanium for my Laverda SFC1000, building a new mountain bike, laying a new roof on a friends house, lots of gardening including my roses, building a new pc, but this time with the aid of an old Mac Pro case with all internals (fun) and looking into the mac wiring and make it all work with pc internals for mac buttons etc, rebuilding my Copland cd-player with a whole different Teac P-70 drive and servo board, measuring lots of tubes for my amplifier and breaking them in until I finally found the ones I need, photography jobs, renovating my Corrado G60, lots and lots of extra work, being on this forum and of course that darn covid crap, just to name a few. And of course, I am also married Erik: what do you need? Kind regards, Jacques Quote Nobody does it better - than Lotus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikl Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 I thought you might be having a lighter weight fly wheel made up be spoke, I wanted to see about having one made up as well. Thinking of buying the fly wheel that QED sell soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
