So nice.None at all, I love my 89 Non SE, very reliable and a blast to drive.
cSo nice.
Do you find that acceleration equates to satisfaction?
The acceleration is fine but not as good as my previous S4, and frankly not as good as my 85 G. But has plenty of acceleration for me.
Believe me , I know there's so much more about the car.
I am very cerebral when I drive and serious.
I enjoy it very much being so communicative with the machine.
I was actually looking for a very good FIAT X19 as a type of replacement.
My first dream-car.
Love the X1/9 I believe they are a sleeper currently and stand to go up in value.
They are little gutless turds but to get the most out of the machine there is something special.
Anything on your vehicle that you are not so happy with?
I am not a very picky guy, so when things go wrong I fix them but do not obsess with them. I love Lotus cars for what they are, as far as being happy with it, I am, but I don't expect more than what the car is and was built to do. Its noisy, rattly, smelly, uncomfortable, but I love that. If I want comfort and great stereo I drive my daily.
Good luck Mike and hope you buy the one in the previous thread, it looks great
Thanks.
Mike
Atwell,I refinished my "red bits" as well.
Lotus used crinkled or "hammered" VHT (Very High Temperature) paint that did not hold up very well. I had refinished mine once, but decided to get things powder coated during my engine refresh.
The finish is gloss, not wrinkled, but it should be easier to wipe clean.
This was an interim picture, there is a LOT more Red on the engine now!
Unless you need to pass emissions, the EBPV serves no purpose. It is only there to reduce COLD idle emissions. It is open once the engine warms up. The throttle jack on GM cars is only there to allow the car to maintain idle when the exhaust is restricted.Yes, my EBPV still works. Got the OE Red Clutch Hose in there too.
Doesn't the throttle jack work when the A/C is on, to maintain idle speed?
et.
I beg to differ.Unless you need to pass emissions, the EBPV serves no purpose.
