General update - Esprit - 31/3/06

Hello LBM fans..

Flexiglas rear hatch almost ready - will debut at SIDC @ Knockhill..(29th April 9-1pm) will do a test fitting using perspex intially.

BOV review still ongoing - will know more after Knockers. Will enquire into servicing Bailey rather than pay for more expensive items. Alternate options being Turbosmart or HKS Sequential. Perhaps a few of those lost ponies is occuring through the BOV. Will try to get Dunc to come over and have a look and take a pax at KH.

First run of Freescan tomorrow - will send csv file for 'engine off' and 'idle' figs tomorrow. Then run load figures at KH - send to Dermot. Managed to run th ALDL cable through to the cabon. USB converter will allow me to run into laptop.. need to try and get lil' sis to lend me hers..

Still tring to book my c/note for a KH Hot Marques night - office still don't seem convinced by the car's legality... car's probably more legal than some of the cars with tax discs and MOT certs.

Spoiler and aero debate continues - option may be to custom a gurney flap, canards and front splitters from the remaining carbon and then keep an eye out for cheap (but good) wing options. Esprit club already hammered out the std wings with Lotus - deisgned for high speed stability but little by way of downforce. Alternative is to custom existing wing but that seems pointless if design is wrong to begin with. May check with Gary if he's got any spare Supra spoilers etc..

Oil temp gauge not working since Falkland + battery cut no longer works///

LBM graphics on car - not totally convinced but will do for now. Helps to cover the cracks and chips.
