The Lotus Grand Tourers

Thanks guys! I'm using conservative cams (factory 107s) and the supercharger will not produce much boost, but I'm hoping for about 250hp and with useable torque from about 2k rpm.

Is Lotusbits on the stand this year?

Hi Steve - can you also lift the door 3mm at the latch end? Is the hinge worn enough to create this? You're right about the through-bolts in the A-post - they make the hinges adjustable fore and aft, so leaving the lower hinge untouched and moving the top hinge forward slightly will lift the door at...

So do you know what the original application for the steering rack was with the bushes in place?

One of the best Excels available. How much is it?
