Carbon Fiber Interior Trim

[ErnestM]

I am thinking of upgrading my V8 Esprit's interior with the Carbon Fiber bits (Binnacle, shift plat, console, etc) from the Sport 350. Has anyone else tried this? Has anyone tried attatching the drilled alloy brake and clutch pads either?

If this topic has already been covered, I apologise (new member)

Cheers

Ernest - it has been done.. a guy called Larry Marsala in the USA retro fitted these items to his '98.

Is he the same guy from the Extreme Esprit site? ("the Mistress")?

Thanks Rob. Now that I know it is possible I guess it is time to get out the checkbook for the parts

[rob.ellis]

Yes, same bloke.

As you can see from the pics, he's now stripped the whole interior to take it racing.

Yeah, almost makes you want to weep doesn't it? All that beautiful leather gone. Still, that's the price for a racer. Still, 650 HP can't wait to see it in action!

Thanks Again
