cannot get how i connected these photo's earlier, was with photobucket

the car started it's life in blue! I think it got painted white quite a few years back.

He nice, I own this car! Been in contact with the original owner/cannonball participant, John Harrison great guy! It is in Holland at the moment, and in a bad state. Car is currently white with a very bad black/red interior. I am going to restore the car to new condition. How can i see this programme? Cor

the body went off my car 4 years ago......but have not done much on the esprit for the last 2.5 years But i think working on it and dreaming what it is going to be is as much pleasure as driving the car so do whatever you want to do but the most important is to enjoy what you do!

This is done by someone on this forum: http://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/topic/6152-1981-s3-v8-conversion/page-16 There is some electrics on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Corsa-B-C-Kit-Electric-power-steering-controller-box-With-ECU-plug-EPAS/180985073152?_trksid=p2047675.m2109&_trkparms=aid%3D555003%26algo%3DPW.CAT%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D18221%26meid%3D1893441622404749845%26pid%3D100010%26prg%3D8339%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D181198112150%26 I want to carry out this mod it looks very easy to do Have already bought the corsa steering column. The car is completely apart at the moment. I am going to update my posts the coming week. http://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/topic/24072-restoration-of-my-88-modified/page-3 I have got a bit further than in the thread but as you english say: "it gets worse before it gets better". It is getting a lot worse i am afraid........ regards Cor

thanks andy!

I have a 88 esprit turbo. It is an english car and equiped with a dim dip module. this module is there for the english cars. Wat is it for?? Thanks Cor

Great!!! you all are a very helpfull bunch!! thanks, now staying on the wiring I have a brown "book" esprit 88 onwards. In the wiring section there are the wiring sheets. in my book it is starting with sheet 5 so i miss a few (1-4) with i think the wiring of the dash can i download this somewhere?? or can somebody scan the missing pages? Would be a great help for me as the wiring of the car is a total mess Thanks Cor

Thanks!!!!

Perhaps asked earlier but i cannot find it... Does anybody have a list of the wiring coulours and their symbols as used in the sevice notes of the esprit turbo "88. Thanks Cor

Have a set too, great value for your money! Cor

thanks for putting my name on t he list!! ,will only be there on sunday though. Do i need some kind of parking pass?? already have tickets. Thanks Cor-Audi Exige

If there is any room left, i wil bring my s1 400+ audi elise/exige thing Cor

Bought a complete set on ebay, was great!! Cor

Karl, do not know about the skirts and side exhaust but the colour is the BEST EVER!! Cor

Just bought two of the bosch pumps from avt yesterday, one for the exige, one for the esprit. Not sure about the best/nicest position for them, this thread helps alot!! Also think their charge cooler header tanks look good. Cor

The car is advertised on pistonheads for 15.000,-. http://www.pistonhea...les/1958948.htm With a conversion the price is very depending on how the work is carried out. So I think it is very difficult to estimate the value without examining the car. Good luck!!

Always nice to see some things trial assembled for the first time.... Still a lot of work to be done, inlet manifold, throttle bodies only loosely fitted. I want to use an alternator of some kind of turbodiesel car with integrated vacuum pump so i can get rid of the lotus vacuum pump, suggestions anyone?

Great!! thanks alot Travis

Does anybody know the thread of the central camshaft bolt on the side of the V-belt? Thanks Cor

Hello, Simon, have to give credit to the previous owner, mark who had the cam towers and complete injection system polished. Just had to clean and paint the engine to complement this. Cost me a lot of elbow grease as they say. It is starting to look as an engine again. Cor

Finally some progress again.... Built part of the engine last weeks, fitted new cranckshaft, liners pistons and so on......... off course son Luuk was my helping hand..... Hope the next update can be sooner than this one Cor

Indeed Gunther, The time we had this was with a classic car which had a lot of parts which were sandblasted. The stuf should have been in intake parts which i think had not been cleaned correctly after blasting. As i recall it it looked the same as your stuf. Was quite some time ago about 20 jrs or so. Cor

Hello, do not know if it ads anything to your disaster... Have had stuff looking very much like this coming out of an engine once before, It appeared to be shot blasting grid!! Did a lot of damage to the engine btw. Cor
