First i should just say thanks for the Car Bible site, very informative and interesting
I run a Lotus Excel SE 1989, with some engine work and uprated (6 potters 310mm rotors) adjustable coli overs pulling just over the 200hp (at the mo) redlining at 7700 all within 1000kg. She is a pleasure to thrash, and i love working on her. If any of you guys are interested in Lotus Excels try our forum
www.lotusexcel.net, they are a great and under estamated car arguably one of the best lotus's ever built with both reliability (toyota) and Lotus handling and a great free reving engine.
