It was at EF, the orange Honda engined one that wasn't on track very often as it was too loud!

Saw the Orange one again in Edinburgh - very very nice car - I'll look forward to measuring its pace again when I'm running 350bp and not 190...

..alas but not at EF for the foreseeable...

You can measure your pace against me at the next Hot Marques night. I'll be having a similar engine in mine, but mines is go faster yellow.

the honda faces the other way, so the exhaust is nearer the boot, and the induction nearer the cabin.

You can still fit throttle bodies in the space between engine and cabin, although you end up spending as much as a supercharger and getting less torque.

Normal honda's run with just a single throttle body, like the Standard K.

Can't make any short evening stints this year - work in edinburgh, live near Stirling.. and Esprit take a bit of time to load/unload.. not worth it for 2 hours track time..

Besides EF suited the big car better...

Sounds sweet Neil - can't wait to get a pax - I'll of course reciprocate asap.

Used to run a black Teg Type R so always a fan of those engines..

I'd like to try EF, hope they resolve the issue.

How fast do you expect the Esprit to go?? Lap time round knockhill for example.
