Michael Blue Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Project M71 Last I heard it was at a standstill... Shah <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow! Tough project! I breifly considered the 918 V8, but cost, availability of the engine and parts and overall potential were all deciding factors against it. It would excellent to see it done, though!

f1karting Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 You do nice work Jan Sorry I didnt reply earlier , but I missed it for some reason Love the rear bumper, but agree with some of the others the nose looks a bit blunt.(still nice though) Hasnt Michael Rodregues shortened the bumpers on his Turbo Esprit as well? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi Wayne.. thanks for the feedback.. I never really liked the big bumbers on the S3.. the early cars with the small bumpers do look good though. I just had to do something for my own sake.. I wanted something that reflected the OE look without the great lump of foam attached to it. I had one chance at getting the shape to what I wanted.. could have been measure once cut twice.. I wasnt sure if more top radius or frontal shape was the ticket. I took a chance on it.. ...the cool thing is they are about 8lb lighter each end.. and not CF! I believe Mikey has done something to his bumpers, but cant see much by the pix. He lives in Brazil and the car is in CA. He only gets back to CA a few weeks a year.. so getting more pix have to wait. He has more plans than time, it seems. His car is very well sorted by the sounds of it. Mike is a very knowledgable fellow on the topic of Esprit tuning, (amongst other things) Quote If you set no goals you shall surely reach them..

Michael Blue Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Thanks for the pic! I was wondering how 17"s would look on these cars, as I'm trying to decide on sizing for my project. I might post a thread just for different wheel size pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
