I hope to pick up my Esprit after having stainless steel brakelines, track pads, straight exhaust, Quaiffe, twin intercoolers and boost gauge installed. Cam covers and plenum powder-cated yellow too. Having trouble with my ECU after it was butchered by someone else, so it is going to Johan for repair (I hope) while Michael Fridmann lends me his Johan-enhanced ECU for my first foray in the Esprit at Watkins Glen on the 14th and 15th. Missed too many track days already (paid for in advance - unrefundable of course).

Perhaps I'll have a chance to install the RAID Airbag Daytona steering wheel, aluminum climate control knobs and HID headlights before the trip too.

Will shoot some photos of the engine bay and post them somewhere after I pick it up.

Stay well,
Paul

Well,
Mike did a great job - intercoolers are in as well as boost gauge (both made by Claudius), Quaiffe, Crowe 5-point racing harnesses and racing pads. Can still easily light up the tires from a roll even with the Quaiffe and 285s

Swapped the Magnesios with MXX3s for Saturns with R-compound Dunlops for my foray to Watkins Glen International tomorrow. No time to install the Daytona steering wheel and HID headlamps.

Will try to take some photos and shoot some in-car video this weekend at the track.

Stay well,
Paul

What Quaife was installed was it the LSD or the full gearbox?
Is it sequential?
