if it is left bank, could be the usual water running on the plug, causing misfires, then unburned petrol going in the exhaust...

just noticed the plates ! very nice

Hello, nice comfiguration of colors for an Esprit imho. Just OZ futura and would be perfect Good luck for the repair

What do you think is the right price for an essex ? Because I've seen an advert in France for a RHD Essex (actually being restaured, no recent photo...) at 45.000€ ! I know the essex are probably the most collectible ones, but seems completely crazy to me

ah sure that's not normal behaviour for a V8 lol. What about the physics, lotus feeling of the front end, quite smooth ride... ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrByB_jYhX8 engine sound and physics seems not so accurate yet, but hey a nerd decided to mod a lotus esprit for Assetto Corsa it's already a good surprise. I'll give it a try in the next days and give you my feedback

one great year with the car, no major issue with, was very reliable after the big service. just had to sell for financial reason, needed cash. At least I had the chance to get and enjoy my teenage dream, even if it was only one year (and 10.000km )

I sold the Esprit a month ago... saaaad But I got some new pictures from some months ago :

I think I have the same device, bought on amazon for 6eur ! It works perfectly on my 96 V8 (and my new beetle but here we don't care lol) I tested with 2 different android smartphones (note 2 and lg g3), with free version of Torque app. When the device is paired with the phone (only 1st time), it get connected to the car automatically in 10sec. Don't forget to turn on the car lol. Also I know the blutooth version doesn't work with apple phones & tablets, you need the wifi version to use with IOS.

already done on the deLorean, which is basically Esprit based.

Yeah it was a good day. except last one it's only smartphone photos. Can't wait for the other ones from the pro photographer !

that's a good point too. In terms of balance it seems OK, but the brembo must be enough, and if it can prevent to boil the liquid I could disconnect it.

honestly never felt any suspicously wrong balance, the back end is realy stable under braking, doesn't try to come in front at each turn when I brake! But good idea to may be disconnect the original small caliper.

Looks like there is a "Y" connector and both calipers are working, and "small" calipers pads had to be changed too (if they were only for handbrake they should be almost new lol).

great monster garage ! love it !
