the steering wheel is a momo millenium and the seats are sparco milano (leather). i am in the USA so i had to purchase the hub and spline from lotus to get rid of the GM steering wheel.

and yes, that's a 2002 front spoiler (my car is '99) which i got from SJ sportscars.

the rims are 8 x 18 F and 10.5 x 19 R Leon Hardiritt Lanze with Pirelli Pzero Rosso 245/35 F and 295/30 R. the rear is lowered by around 1" using fully adjustable suspension from SJ Sportscars; I am getting the adjustable front suspension this week.

as for the seats, they do fit but with some compromise in adjustments. if you are tall and would like adjust the seat i do not recommend it (i am 5'7" and the seat is all the way back).

it is true that the seatback adjustment is low and very hard to adjust but still possible (i was thinking "how often do i adjust my seat once it set? almost never"). the seats do fit however. i used the original sliders and fabricated a flatbar across to mount the chairs.

it would have been ceratinly nice to meet you, but i guess some other time. and yes! that was me driving the car.

i saw your esprit (recognized the plates) and it certainly looks nice and clean...especially that sparco billet hub. i would have preferred to go with that if i hadn't purchased my lotus hub prior to your email. it really looks great!

btw, did you put together that supra in the TOYO display with 650rwhp (it said RYTEK)? how do you put that much power down on 275 width rubber? and how about reliability (just wondering)?

anyway, keep in touch and hopefully someday will meet !

Hello Dindo,

Tony Lim is one of the guys that works for Autoplus that was in the show. And yes, Autoplus on EDSA and here in SF are affiliated (how funny you know this stuff; it's just nice to see someone from here knowing this).

I am itching to touch and tune my car (engine wise) but I am not really the best at this so I am weighing possibilities and options (considering risks involved)plus funds. Let me know if you come up with anything and start work on your Esprit. Maybe you can share some tips and advice =)

I wish you well with your wife's coming... I bet she'll understand the passion for cars.
