Hi all,

Who is the best source stateside for the V8 Red Race ECU or other recommended chip set upgrades?
I'm interested in keeping turnaround times to an absolute minimum.

Try an intermediate step and just load the street/torque code into your existing chip first. Any lotus dealer can have that done for you...

As far as I know the only source is Lotususa.

Make sure your car is ready for the added boost.

Hi All,
About turnaround times just for your info ...
In former times I used to ship out the Red ECU in advance and waited for the old one to come back in return.
Unfortunately, thanks to Mr. B*** L** (who just refuses to send me back his old one and constantly ignores my mails for half a year now) I cannot continue this proceeding.
I now wait till the old one comes in and send away the Red one the same day. Should get a turnaround time around 4 days alltogether .....

Cheers

Sorry Marcus - no naming and shaming - against the rules, etc - ErnestM

Ooooops !!! Will never do it again ;o) Marcus

If you want any performance upgrades for the V8 there are 2 primary sources in the USA. Johan Hybinette and myself Larry Marsala. My email is lotusracing@earthlink.net phone 408-274-4222.
I have done upgrades from minor street to full GT-1 race versions of the Esprit V8.
The Company name is Add Lightness Motorsports.
We are a racing and performance shop and also provide driver training if you want to learn how to drive your car on the track.

Good Luck
Larry
