Lotus

I've been eying Europas for awhile. I expect buying one will be a cople years off, but I'd like to start researching in a more focused way. Also, to know if I see a good deal to make a better decision to buy or wait. I expect to look for a solid runner, but not a museum piece. I'd like some input on where to look, expected prices, preferred models for a driver. Some basic buying tips. The market is thinly traded enough that I really can't tell if I'm describing a $5000 car or a $15000. If the latter, I probably just need to move on... Thanks for any feedback and advice.

Where do you guys buy OEM maintenance parts (oil and air filters, plugs, brake pads and rotors, etc.) Just general maintenance stuff. who has the best prices?

one of the tiny ABS sensor cable to the wheel is broken on the front passenger side. I am looking to replace it. Please let me know if you have one or point me to somewhere.

All 4 of my brakes are engaged and I cant drive my car. I was heading home the other night had to hit my brakes hard and they stayed about 60% compressed against the rotors all 4 of them. The night before I went to lift my ebrake and it felt like nothing was attached to the handle... Any help would be great!

Hey everyone, I removed the carburetor from my 1979 Lotus Eclat (that I purchased recently) last week and dropped it off at a local shop to be rebuilt. I wanted to see if you guys could provide me with any tips on how to reinstall it properly. Do I need to make any adjustments after the reinstall to get it to function at its best? I'm a newbie at this, so the more detailed you could be, the better. Thank you, Suave

The Golden Gate Lotus Club made a promotional video that features a lot of great lotus models through out history. Its pretty cool: Lotus Through the Ages: The Golden Gate Lotus Club - YouTube -Ben

Quote: Lotus LMP2 might not be racing in this year?s 24 Hours of Le Mans. The team is missing essential components to its car after they were seized on a court order yesterday. Specifically, the suspension and gearboxes were removed while the rest of the cars were left sitting. Alleged financial issues are at the center of the controversy and reports suggest the Kodewa squad hasn?t met financial commitments to an undisclosed partner. A hearing is scheduled for 3 p.m. GMT (11 a.m. EST) where the team will try to reach a resolution that will allow the team to participate in practice runs from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. The two cars are meant to be driven by James Rossiter, Kevin Weeda, Christophe Bouchut (in the number 31 car) and Thomas Holzer, Dominik Kraihamer and Jan Charouz (in the number 32 car).
