Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral My Mates Modified Esprit in Redline Xmas

People say these cars can't be modified. My mate Karl who owns a Lotus Esprit GT3 has gone to town on his. I've lost track on the list of mods but here goes:
NOS +100BHP extra plus purge kits in ariel and bonnet vents
19" bespoke alloys
DVD player
Playstation
one off bodykit
Wheel arch extensions
one rear spoiler
glass bonnet window to show off NOS bottle
lowered suspension
door handles removed
front and side indicators removed
ice blue paint with pearlesant laquer
2002 rear light conversion
Ferarri style rear valance
F1 style carbon fibre wing mirrors
the usual K&N etc etc

He been approached by a few magazines. I think he's gone with a 4 pager on Redline. I think he's in this xmas edition. Also he's had it on Max power stand when it was pretty much standard. He's already down for next year's stand.

that is a lovely car

Wow *picks jaw up off floor*

Very nice mate realy well done particularly the rear bumper

Very cool

Very nice Dave

Seen you new Lotus kicking round too - rather tasty

Alright Dazza, nope sold it 2 months ago. Got an Esprit S4s now. Have a look at my other post on members modified cars. Hopefully see you soon if I get accepted for the meets locations

Now that is a modified motor, i love the back of that car... im glad someone has the balls (and money) to modify such a ncie car!!!

wow, very nice, will have to buy this mag then.

Thats a well nice car. whats its BHP now...

This Esprit is a 2.0 GT3 standard is 240BHP. With the NOS and other mods, I reckon 350BHP.
My S4s comes as standard 300BHP. Iam hoping to get a chip soon that will take it upto 330BHP and that's without NOS.
Big downside is that the gearboxes are only good for 350BHP and even then second gear goes. This is why the 3.5L V8 twin turbo has only 350BHP. It had to be detuned so not to rip the gearbox apart. Easily get 450BHP on a standard engine with the V8.

What mods to the engine are there?
Like the spoiler.

thats gorgeous! the back bumper looks kinda ferrari-ish to
