    May i ask, which Lotus? I have a real soft spot for the v6 exige. When i was tearing my hair out earlier in this build, the car i considered signing my life away for was a low mileage dealer car, a sport410, iirc. More than any other brand, they are reputed to work on rough British b roads...

    I'm not really one for show n shine, so i had to take some pics today. I'm particularly happy with the stance since we replaced the rims with forged WedSports with a better offset, and added 20mm spacers all round. You'll note the 17 inch rims, and high riding stance? The roads around here are...

    You did the spannering yourself? :cool: Btw I've edited my post to flesh out the spec. Had to get a callback from my parts guy, having done three cars' worth of engine swaps with forged stroker kits, couldn't remember some of the evo details!

    Now that bmw have embraced 4wd and turbocharging, they are seriously back on my radar. I mean, theyre almost as good as jap cars from the 90's:D

    I saw underbonnet on one of them, and it was terrible. A proper rats nest, pleniums didn't align, ridiculously complicated wiring. I always throught v12 inna supra is a solution looking for a problem. I guess if you were pure jdm straight six was too humdrum? But the one i saw, that sure made it...

    Single throttle body, mahoosive tubby, prolly good for a ten on street tyres? Very naughty. Supra just brilliant.:p I mean the enemy, obvs, being a skyline man. But truth be told, Supra had the better engine with the 2jz not sized down to a race requirment like the rb26 was 3 litre has to be...

    Imagine what it would be like with a modern turbo.:cool: A G30 660 springs to mind...a gt30 sized blower making T78 numbers. The spool up would be astounding, and more progressive than the Trust, making for a smoother transition onto boost....deffo a bonus with front engine rwd. Though tbh the...

    Modern speakers vs Vintage speakers

    That was the point i was (clumsily) trying to make. I predominantly listen to modern music.

    Modern speakers vs Vintage speakers

    Pity, that. They look as though they could be the last word in deep bass. For me that's an issue with the vintage gear. I prize the same musical qualities as everyone here on this thread, but in addition that performance also has to extend below 20hz. For me It's sine que non. There's so much...

    Modern speakers vs Vintage speakers

    Are you familiar with Kinoshita? I have unhealthy feelings for the Rey Audio RM7. But I've yet to speak to anyone who has heard them in an adequate sized room, so if you had any experience with them, I'd love to hear your impressions? https://images.app.goo.gl/ocj48K5RZ9jbyCae7

    Modern speakers vs Vintage speakers

    May i ask, can anyone tell me the low frequency response of the Bionor horns? Can't seem to find anything online. I'm wondering how they cope with the ~20hz region, which is well represented in modern music. This seems to be where the vintage designs show their age, they just don't plumb the...

    Wolf von Langa (WVL) Chicago Speakers - Dream Speakers

    I'm grappling with contradictory urges: i definitely prefer open baffle speakers to horns, and i definitely want the most dynamic variant. The obvious solution would be to have the Berlin bass configuration, but with open baffle mid / tops. However WVL say they don't offer that type, they feel...

    The website is a bit random. If you specify English as the language the Wagyu subwoofers disappear altogether. Perhaps they only sing in German?

    Amp for Focal Stella Utopia

    Sack the Naim amps, replace with a valve pre amp and a Boulder 2160. You'll never look back. To my eyes the marriage of Naim and Focal is not a happy one. Naim amps sound dry, scratchy and sibbilant to my ears. Wheras Boulder are lush, authoritative and musical. The incredible resolution of the...

One for you, one for when you resell. An awful lot of thought has gone into everything, even including how...
