As Esprit parts become hard to find

I ran across this company today. Basically you can design a part in their CAD type program and they will make it for you. This may be a great place to try a group buy if someone designs a cool part. Check it out at www.eMachineShop.com An article about it is here www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/internet/08/26/online.manufacturing.ap/index.html

It's funny how the Discovery Channel (via American Chopper, Monster Garage, etc..) has made machine shops and fabricators the hero’s of the day.

Very good!!!!
Lotus just stopped being able to supply "bulk parts" to parts suppliers like JAE. In short... they will have to start paying as much as an individual for some parts. The intake pipe running from the air box to the turbo would be such a part (over 200.00 USD!)

If someone needs this intake piece I think I have my stock one around here that I'll sell for cheap.

Mine has a bit of an issue with the inside piece - apparently this is a very common problem and causes air flow to be restricted. However, my "quik fix" solution was to cut some box wire , fold it round, and sleeve the pipe. Worked great. In fact, I have had no issues since I pulled my track side mod.

However... what did you use in place of the "stock" pipe. I'm very interested as well as I may be interested in your stock pipe...
