SCCFC20B3PHFFF60218 NOV 1992 titled as 1993 Esprit Turbo SE Black over-painted to Yellow (appears to be one the last SE's produced?) Mike College Park, MD USA 28500 at time of purchase

Hi, Looked around and found little that would fit there without putting holes into the tunnel to secure it which I would rather not do. lol

Hi All, I can't be the only one wishing he could have his drink nearby - i.e. not rolling off the seat and around the floor as I drive. Any ideas or suggestions, please? TIA Mike Pioso

mc21... Yes, I agree the prices I have found so far are atrociously high but seem to be so no matter where I have found pricing for Esprit bushings, simple little rubber bushings. Amazing what low production quantities can do for the bottom line on aftermarket sales! Have found what I needed, all mostly for about 60% less than those quoted in an earlier reply by and other UK sites I have since found and received quotes from. Still, pricing is ridiculous for bushings though, but I got to have em... I feel slightly better about the absurdly high prices once I get back in the car and drive down the road though. Bibs, Thank you so very much for your efforts but prices are simply overboard compared to where I have found them and are also in stock. About the same numeric numbers but in dollars rather than pounds and the exchange rate makes these sooo much more expensive. You did get another member here though so all was not lost... Again, thank you for your assistance in my search. I do appreciate it very much. Mike

Thank you.! Good morning. Mike

Bibs, Are they all poly, please of just the ones so indicated?

Hi Bibs, Wow, that was the quickest reply I have ever seen! Thank you very much! Wow, a bit pricey is one heck of an understatement - I guess this will be my initiation into the Lotus domain. Last bushing I bought for my 900T was on the order of $8.75. OMG. Are all of these poly as I noted only one was so indicated? I will have to get a call into the mech to make triple certain he will install before purchasing however as he did evidence some avoidance to poly so want to be assured he will be compliant, so-to-speak. Been up all night pursuing this so I am going to bed to get a bit of sleep, and will call him later this afternoon to confirm his assistance and if OK. will confirm with you thereafter. I have to say however that I have never been on any forum of any kind where the response was like this one - meaning - incredible! Thank you Bibs. BTW, nice to have the correct Parts List also. Mike Pioso

Ah ah, Model year was 1993, titled as 1993, but man date is what triggers. Have looked at the manual and this is what I have come up with: Front suspension: Lower Ball Joints (2) A089C6089F Upper Ball Joints (2) A036C6007F Pivot Bush Upper Wishbone (4) X036C6004F (assuming Wishbone = Control Arms?) Pivot Bush Lower Wishbone Rear (2) A075C6000F Pivot Bush Lower Wishbone Front (2) A082D4084F Rear Suspension: Bush Lower Link (4) A082D4084F Bush Upper Link (4) A082D4084F Please pardon me for taking so long. I believe I have the correct part numbers and quantities that my mechanic want me to replace. Any help would be joyously appreciated Bibs. Mike

Paid via PayPal - went to your link and got "[#103139] You do not have permission to view this forum." Log out and back in perhaps? Backed out and logged back and now I can get there. going to look for part numbers. Bibs, Encountering the same thing I have with this car most everywhere I have been so far looking for parts. There is no listing for a 1993 SE, just the S4 +++. Only goes to 1992. Do I do 1992 manual and hope? heh heh.

BIbs, Will do as you suggested. Sent email to Lotusbits on the adj links but nothing heard from as yet. As matched tiring is no longer available here for 15 and 16 wheels have to enlarge them ((looking at 17 and 18) and have been informed that it would therefore be wise to add this part to keep rears from wearing unevenly and would want do them along with replacement of the currently dry-rotted bushings but can not locate them anywhere, so far. Will upgrade membership momentarily (hoping PayPal is accepted for this function) and get part numbers for you. I have been told that the poly style do not do something that the regular bushings do (by the only Lotus mechanic (he races them though out the US (2.2L)) within 150 miles and he did not recommend them after I brought them up to him as solution, not clear why. Let me send this reply to you then step back and see about sending funds, getting the parts manual and getting the numbers for you. Not being a mechanic hope I pick out the correct bits. Be back shortly. Mike

H Bibs, You are correct an SE, I am losing my mind trying to get this beautiful ride back on the road. I have no part numbers other than VIN, data plate says it was built Nov 1992. VIN is SCCFC20B3PHF60218. Just got it two weeks ago fourth hand owner and the CDROM does not seem to apply to this SE. Any help would be most appreciated, and you have my word on that. lol Mike

Hello to all, Trying to locate both Front Upper and Lower Control Arm Bushings and Ball Joints, AND Upper and Lower Rear Control Arm Bushings. Also wpuld like to find the Rear Upper Control Arm Adjustable Links that seem to be out there, somewhere. ANYONE have ANY ideas, please? I have gone to sites in Australia, England and the US and can find simply nothing. Am I doomed to never getting this 93 back on the road? Much thanks to anyone that can point me in the right direction. PM me or comment here. I will watch this page for the next couple of days at least. Even call me at 240-374-3421 (cell) anytime, any hour. Mike Pioso
