I like your engine!!!! Looks very good!! Have seen others that look a bit odd!!!! Great car what is the engine like??

[carltonman]

Thank god i'm off this week. What a car.

What gear box you using? 4ltr through an auto!!!? (going by last pic)

[mrchaz]

Thats if they've done it properly. Having spoken to them when I bought the car they didn't fill me with confidence as they couldn't remember exactly what they did other than have the kit imported and fit it.

[carltonman]

I am in favour of that. Used to hear that autos sapped power more than manuals. Lesson learned! What a car, what a car, what a car!!!

opps, better call my doctor for more medication.

I'll be at the European Fast Car Show at Brands Hatch on Sunday with the Autobahnstormers if anyone wants a closer look.

i do love the gear stick,looks like a mnual til closer inspection

[mrchaz]

Having fitted a Lotus Dash and with the manual stick surround the only problem the auto gives you is that you have no indication of what gear you've selected

[carltonman]

If it was me, any gear would do! 
Even neutral blipping the throttle.

Grind off your "3.0 24v" lettering on your existing rocker-cover, paint it black or dark metallic grey then stick a heat resistant vinyl graffic on it and bingo you have the same!

Almost right. Filed of the 3.0 24v and wet and dried it to get it smoothed, then had the Lotus logo engraved into it. Had it all powder coated and then painted the lettering in with smooth finish hammerite.

[carltongsi24v]

Can you get me one done? what sort of cost are we looking?

[mrchaz]

It cost me about £40 to have engraved and about £15 to be powder coated

[carltongsi24v]

are you going to the meet? can you get me one done, i`ve got the cover
