My 1974 Lotus Europa TwinCam Special

Brakes
From the bow

The tires are Yokohama AVO Intermediates with 185/60VR13's in front and 205/60VR13's in back.

This is where the noise comes from
(Yes - the brake boosters were removed. I don't miss them.)

Click on the carbs, Mitsubishi alternator, cam pulley, polished outlet, headers or the catalytic converter to see close-ups and info.

The engine is a "tall" Ford block bored .020" (bore: 3.270 stroke: 3.060). This give a displacement of 1684.5 cc's or 102.8 cubic inches instead of 1555.2 cc's or 94.9 cubic inches. The only other engine performance mods I'm aware of are the K&N air filter, Pertronix electronic ignition and headers all installed by a previous owner. I installed different carb needles (B1BT instead of the stock B1G) and springs. I suspect I will not be able to leave well enough alone.

Passing the Arizona emissions test was a real challange.

I finally got my personalized plates.

Get it?

I built a hood support patterned after the original factory design and dimensions. It is sooo much better that the "Lotus tool" or broom stick support.

I have to slip a picture of my wife's car in here.
