Which one is the coolant filler ("header tank")?
Giniw replied to SilverEsprit's topic in Engine/Ancilliaries
I am a bit late to the party but indeed it was the coolant tank indeed. I hope the previous owner did not maintain the car himself! (To me such a thing as an A/C freon tank doesn't exist anyway, so ... ) -

Hello, You should post a photo just to be sure your car is standard so we can confirm it for you. -
Yes, he made a similar statement about a McLaren he was reviewing a while ago.

Caterham? As for the GT Turbo, isn't it called Super 5 GT Turbo and the other (earlier) one R5 in the UK?

Time to start explaining

lol Were they parallel too? -
That makes more sense, I was a bit surprised

Yes, and so did I. I sometimes think I should look for a good one to buy

(the thumbnails shows a (praised) S1 Elise but of course I set the time-code to an Essex Esprit)

Hehe you beat me to it!

How can it be that off?! Have they never been near an Esprit engine? Oo -

Yes, it's a V8 silencer. Maybe, that's strange. Are you sure your 90 SE was not a 2.0L one ?
-
Indeed: dual entry and dual exit too. But doesn't it look like a standard V8 silencer? (rather than a "racing" one?) The 2.0 (GT3 and 2.0L market cars like Italy) has a LH exit, whereas the 2.2 has a RH exit (Why, I still wonder though ) As @sailorbob said this one is for a V8 engine though.

The story of Little Red Riding Hood
Giniw replied to Jacques's topic in Esprit 'Project & Restoration' Room
Never used or bought, but I have read about that in a Toyota diff workshop manual procedure so it must be a good idea. If I remember correctly it was to align it properly, not really wear related like it's sometimes done for the crankshaft bearings.
