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. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cruisewirral.com/gallery/uploads/01/04nov/cruisewirrralesprit001.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cruisewirral.com/gallery/uploads/01/04nov/cruisewirrralesprit002.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cruisewirral.com/gallery/uploads/01/04nov/cruisewirrralesprit003.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.cruisewirral.com/gallery/uploads/01/04nov/cruisewirrralesprit004.jpg)

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. Originally posted by maverick:
