Hey to all

I've just joined the forum and thought I'd say Hi.

I've had my 1988 Esprit Turbo for over four years now, but until recently has been in bits whilst being modded and updated. The good news is that it's almost done and ready to rock. I'm planning to get the bad boy on the road next year once I've finished wiring in various electronic gizmos that I've designed. Namely a keypad imobilizer system that removes the need for keys anywhere and a F1 style quick release wheel with buttons for lights, indicators, wipers and horn. The good thing about the later is that it enables me to remove those nasty Cortina storks and its a great theft deterrant.

Theres a recent piccy of the car attached for your viewing pleasure.

I look forward to chatting and hopefully meeting with you all sometime in the near future.

Cheers

Dan

Hey people

Cheers for making me feel so welcome, I'll post some more pics in the garage section later today.

Mods so far are...

Removed all locks including ignition barrel,

Fitted keypad alarm/immobilizer/start controller,

Removed column storks and old steering wheel,

Fitted F1 style snap off wheel with stork controls via buttons on wheel,

Clear indicator mod to the front,

Smoked side repeaters,

Debadged,

17" Oz wheels,

Stainless exhaust system,

Clutch pipe mod,

V8 rad with Pacet fans,

Mods to do...

Fit new suspension (any recommendations would be welcome),

Hi Spec brakes on the front,

Sport 300 seats and releather interior.

BTW my friend has his own business called Autofilms Direct, specialising in window tinting, security film and even stone chip guard film for bumpers and bonnets. His fitters have plenty of experience of tinting Esprits for Motorway Sports Cars in Canterbury. The good thing is they come to you. In addition he is also running the leather retrimming center for a major vehicle importer and retrims OE on new cars. He can fully retrim your Esprit (or any other car) in any design you like at a really good price. I'm hoping to get mine done as soon as I've finished my install of alarms and steering wheel and when I find some Sport 300 seats. I'll post some pics of the process and finished product when complete.

Let me know if anyone wants more info or is interested in a quote and I'll get it sorted.

Cheers

Dan

I'd wait until Lotus' new kit comes out in a few months time. Details on the page.

Hi Dan - welcome to the forum. Lots and lots of know how on here!

Your house looks a familiar design - you're not near Sittingbourne are you?
