Aha, I was wondering when a thread on this would happen. My dad had one when I was growing up that... well. The S2 thing where the body and backbone aren't bonded? There's felt between them in places. Jolly good idea that (not). Ours was a Renault engine one but later we picked up a twink and then sold all of it to someone else.

Funny what Chapman was able to do with partsbin engineering.

This might have gotten addressed somewhere, but how is the shifter action compared to, say, the 348 and compared to some normal FR cars? When we had the Europa-shaped parts piles I always looked at the shifter linkage conglomeration with more than a bit of skepticism.

Slightly off topic but ha ha ha ha holy cow this is such a bad idea. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-Lotus-Other-modified-with-ground-effects-spoilerss-/222577985447?hash=item33d2ae87a7:g:X9IAAOSwtGlZMbXj&vxp=mtr

There at least used to be some company that would machine off the intake manifold stub from the Stromberg head and weld on stubs to accept Webers. Couldn't tell you what it would be.

Comedy option would be finding an old Cosworth BDA

You'd think in this day and age it wouldn't be that hard to have new ones milled.

Aw, that's kind of a shame, but I'll look forwards to whatever the next awesome thing is.

I would do unspeakable things to own a good (and from what I can tell, the ERA ones are good) GT40 clone.
