The best way to enhance handling is to fix the 'nut behind the wheel'. Participate in an HPDE (High Performance Driver education) session or two at a racetrack, so that you will be able to explore the

My car is an S2, so it wasn't on the Wolfrace. But I would never get rid of the Speedines that came with the car. Changing wheels is one of the easiest mods to reverse, so I am not at all worried

This is my 1979 Esprit S2 JPS #24 (Oh, okay, World Champion Edition). Rumor has it, but I was never able to get written verification, that Lotus Cars USA used this car at Riverside Raceway as a test

BF Goodrich makes nice tires in 14 inch that would look great on the Esprit S1 I don't know of any alternative rims. However , I believe it is imperative to keep these Esprit S1 as close to original

I did some digging in the search here but I couldn’t find an exact answer for this. Has anyone ever evaluated what the best tire/rim combination for handling on these early Esprits? I know the tire

Oooo, I have seen a carbon fiber airbox before, and it was great looking. I think a CF engine cover would be great as well. I just don’t have the ability to do that, and no need for it at this time.

Jim, Do you recall what you did to the car under your ownership? Curious to hear more about the history here. Thanks, Shah

I used wood to do two thingsone was add plenum volume and the other was to reduce heat tranfer to the carbs. Never really had heat issues with this car

That's it...He did a nice job on those.? ?I made a engine limiter in the front it slides to allow movement but will nold it from going too far. I did that before the turbo mounts and kept it on for

Thanks for the info Tim and Bill. Both these changes were done by one of the previous owners, so I can't speak to the rationale behind either. With respect to the K&N filters, I was planning on

Shah, I'm not familiar with the spacers that are between the carbs and the intake manifold in your photos. There are supposed to be "Soft Mounts" between the carbs & manifold. A 'soft mount' is a

Shah, I’m an Aeronautical Engineer by education and profession, and I understand the drawbacks of running the open K&N filters as opposed to the factory designed airbox. Depending on the underhood

No wood blocks but it could likely be the same car. It looks like the spacers were replaced with some machined ones. Attached are some photos of the engine from today. I think I sent you a DM Jim.

Hi Tim, The last four numbers are 0752H. See image attached.

Shah, What are the last FOUR numbers? Plus any suffix letter that may be present? Regards, Tim Engel 01/19/2024 12:45 AM CST Selbe, Shah <shah.selbe@...> wrote:
