Look up:

SJ Sports Cars, U.K.

Dave Bean engineeringt, U.S.

Sports Car World, Texas

places to start for your soon to begin parts search.

Also go to Lotus Esprit World. great web site dedicated to all things Esprit.
The gentleman above can help there, right Bibs?

good luck with the new project.

Also, you can get parts and the manuals you need from JAE.

Bibs has a great Esprit forum as well, LEF (Lotus Esprit Forum)

I was going to say that you can download the manual from LCU for $25, but I just checked my copy and it seems to be for MY '93 On. I don't know how much is different from an '88 to a '93...

He wouldn't have any info on the Bosch K-jetronic fuel injection used on the '88. The Lotus manual is actually pretty good in this regard.
