Stripeless Stripey -- Zizi

[Monty]

Believe it or not. I bought 3 new one already and they all kept breaking and cracking. The latest new one (never fit to the car) was sent out for sourcing having a new stainless steel one made. Oooo... I can't wait.

Just make sure you haven`t got head gasket problems

[lotusgirlmarie]

he did have a blown gasket. Fixed now. Interesting side note, with the new HG we had to retard the ignition timing to stop a nasty knock issue. Before the HG failure, no issue. I think the coolant in the cylinders was allowing for the advanced timing. My car has a similar timing issue resolved by retarding the spark.

Really nice car there. Do they have that in a Kyosho Mini-Z size?

Ok you found me here

Long time no see. Too bad there is no Mini-Z version of this car.

They made only Lotus Europa body.

A bit off topic, Surakung and I used to race R/C a while back every weekend. We setup the course early Friday night and had ~20 cars racing there until ~5 am. Good time back then.

It's been a loooong time since I've seen you. Shawn told me about you and your car. Looks really nice. I like the new wheels you put on too. The yellow stripes was not helping, 555.

Anyway, shoot me an email(surakung@gmail.com)and we all can meet up sometime.

Different head gasket thickness = different compression ratio = different point of onset of knock. Same for more boost.

Thank you Nitroman. From the picture, it looks like a quality tank.

I would like to get something similar to the original design but in aluminum. For some reason, I like it rectangular.

Brand new exhaust manifold with the new turbo adapter fitted. After cleaned up all factory coated wax. Not that the old one cracked, this is just to reduce down time preparing for new turbo installation.

ah, what beautiful art i have created!!! i'm glad to see that adapter is working out. i'm off to read the rest of this very long thread of yours.

So much talent and a uniform !

you ain't seen nothing, you should see what she does with her spare time. if 1% of the women on the face of this earth were as mechanically and anatomically gifted as this women there would be no need for men! PERIOD!

wow, i am so damn impressed i'm ready to burn my isuzu RS to a mountain of ashes. oh, wait, no, i will always have an up on the LEC members to make me proud of my zuzu, i have AWD.
but again...WOW!!!

, you wouldn't want to test the handling of your zuzu against the elan surely, AWD or not ?

why not, haven't you heard..."Suspension Tuned by Lotus" plus, it's rear biased at a 57/43 split and not like you can drift your M100 without the e-brake

Uhu. I've driven an RS. There's NO comparison in handling or acceleration. One word: weight. The laws of physics weren't made by, and can't be altered by, man.

Double posting, also in Engine thread. A little warning for those who browse my thread

1st HGF one was the original, so not bad for 17 years
replaced with a HG (none Lotus) and head bolts came loose whilst on track

is it worth buying the "head gasket set"? Or is that for rebuilding the engine?

Watch out guys!! I've just had the 2nd HG job done after replacing the 1st (17 years) only 1 month. The 17 years HG came off in one piece VS 1 month old came off in pieces, and I wasn't even pushing.

I don't know where my conversion set came from, since I got them with the car, the previous owner must have bought them aftermarket. I'm sure he doesn't know how good they are. Comparing the OEM HG and the aftermarket just by eye-balling them and you can see HUGE difference in quality. Certainly 1 month is not a long life for them.

Stick with your OEM parts when it comes for your HG please.

Let me have my pipe dream!!! i'm not sure exactly what the m100 weighs but the RS is only 2700lbs. i think the lotus is around 2400-2500lbs and it's not like i'm sitting on a stock RS. i have done some work to it (Tbird, 1.8 cams, .050" over, 9.4:1 compression, etc).

and if math doesn't lie then the RS isn't far in the power to weight ratio (2450/160=15.3lbs/hp vs 2732/160=17.1lbs/hp ). i would love to cruise with you boys though!!!!

i wouldn't even bother turning my car on to Lotus Girl Marie and Ekapol for fear of just getting my ASS KICK hands down!!!

and personally, i'm just here to make flanges
