... No, you can't just import one of the early Elise to the US, unless you want to swap out the power plant, and finish re engineering the entire car. Sure, a...
In case any overseas members are unaware, this month's EVO magazine (the top glossy performace car magazine here in the UK) carries quite a large group test of...
I'd love to see the article, Broadband is fine, US finding of EVO magazine isn't so good! David A. Small realsmall@...<mailto:realsmall@...> The older...
... Barns and Noble probably has EVO, right next to Racecar Engineering. As for that group test, I think that you will find that the Noble M400 did exceedingly...
I just saw a car for sale advertised in the latest Lotus Log Remarque issue. Go to http://www.lotusclub.org/documents./REMARQUE.pdf for the particulars. Scroll...
... However, I have been tracking prices in Europe, and there, it is a different story. European pricing is why Westfield went back into the XI business. If...
So, after a year and a half of getting the XI in shape, I decided to try a local AutoX. With the engine no longer spraying oil everywhere, and the suspension...
Congratulations! I can't wait to be able to do the same! With a (finally) sunny Sunday, my XI and I had a more sedate day participating in the Concours...
So - I won a set of dual SU's complete with manifold and linkage. They are smaller carbs than the current single SU (size?). The problem now appears to be...
... Aaron, Well, ideally, you would run larger carbs on a maniflow manifold, but what you have will work just fine. The XI takes the stock Sprite engine, and...
I was doing a little clean up on the engine in preparation for the installation of the new flywheel, and decided to replace the crank shaft damper bolt. This...
Thanks for the feedback. Any thoughts now on the pedal box situation? Aaron ... They are ... now ... under the ... need to ... this ... until ... less ... but...
... Aaron, The pedal box is no problem. There should be no interference at all. The carbs are pretty close together. They wont hit anything. You wont be using...

One other item. has anyone got a great idea as to how to keep the hood and rear section under control when opening? I have seen some strings, but no good...
I think that your best bet for a header is to have one fabricated by an exhaust specialist. AFAIK, Westfield is not supporting the Crossflow installation on...
... You can use a braided wire with swedged loops at the ends, attached to the frame and some part of the clamshell, such as the back side of a tonneau snap....
It is easy to spend a couple hundred dollars on stainless bends from Burns to make up a custom header, and then spend a lot of time cuting and TIG welding with...
... If you have a friend that has a race car fabrication shop, maybe this might not be so hard to accomplish. If not, you are at the mercy of the fabricator,...
Well, after about three weeks of waiting, I finally was able to get the July issue of EVO with its Road and Track Car Shootout for 2005. Included in the test,...
What nice news! So what is the fix for our brakes? I couldn't agree more with the writer's description, and I'm certain I have not driven my car as hard as...
... I then checked the front rotors and calipers for signs of leakage. Found none, but there would be front brake problems later... On to the master cylinder,...
Happy Sunday Folks! Well, a few things. I wanted to check my rear brake bulbs and cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove the lights! I don't want...
... I'm puzzled that your engine sits so far back that the rear carb on a dual set-up hits the pedal box. I ran a Dellorto on a Cannon manifold for a while...
Thanks Mark - Any help is appreciated. Clarification (and if the photos show up this time you will see) the Weber and Cannon fit just fine. Just the dual carb...
