Thank you for letting me post. 1999 LOTUS ESPRIT V8 TWIN TURBO THE ULTIMATE LOTUS ESPRIT UPGRADE ! Turn key -- nothing else to do. No mechanical issue. The car perform very strong & flawlessly. Can be driven in any destination you want. THE HISTORY: I bought the car in Irvine California - I am the second owner. The car has 43,000 in the odometer from the previous owner. It has a documented service log from Vikings Lotus motorsports (service log can be requested).The car now has 48,504 miles. I was not able to drive the car much due to an eye injury. I only put 5,000 miles for the past 9 years owning it. I noticed that I constantly adding an anti freeze. I never suspected of anything wrong with the car at the time. In the later part, the car gave up and spewing white smokes. I called Viking motorsports and dug the service record. The previous owner never told me that he overheated the car, slowly contaminated the piston liners. The car was re-build Sept. 2011 at 46,800 miles.& finished 2012. THE REBUILD: The engine was professionally rebuilt by one of the NASCAR engine builder in the Northeast. The engine was "BLUE PRINTED" and the tolerance & torque were documented. https://www.dropbox.com/s/f96fnv7qyxbg43p/EngineRebuild1.PDF?dl=0 The head was ported and blue printed. Utilized the flow of each port using flow bench for maximum power. https://www.dropbox.com/s/x70hqduzqqthvct/EngineRebuild2.PDF?dl=0 The engine is newly broke in and I put 1,704 miles after the rebuild. The GTO Engineering upgrade transmission and differential Quaife ATB was performed by a retired Tyrell formula 1 mechanic. THE PARTS: New 8 FORGED JE PISTONS.

There's a little scratch on the driver seat for going in and out...nothing major - no rip. I noticed last July that the Air conditioning is not working - probably need to charge with R134A freon. THE OWNER: I owned 6 Lotuses through out the years, I know the ill wind of the Lotus especially the Esprit by heart. I do all my maintenance and service. Although I never dyno the car, I can be best describe a ported head and the increase of boost will surely gets you at 450hp or over (RWHP) I spent over 30 grand on the upgrades & rebuild. I tried my best to be truthful & honest describing the car. You can visit & test the car anytime - I live in the Northeast (Connecticut) THE PRICE: $46,000.00 You can Text me @ eight six zero - eight three seven - three six five four I will entertain a REASONABLE OFFER but not the low baller.
