extremely well put together Lotus Esprit World has grown by leaps and bounds
in the past few years. Many consider it the ideal companion site to
the Esprit Fact File. Read both of these sites completely and
you will be a guaranteed Esprit guru. The site is well polished, with a slick look and tons
of great content. I highly recommend it. |

Johan
Hybinette is of the undisputed kings of
Esprit performance. His quest for speed has taken him to
modifying cars, to building a competition race team (Hybimars),
to designing, building and selling upgrade parts for Esprits. Most
of the focus has been on the Esprit V8, but there's something for
everyone here. If you have an Esprit V8, you might want to seriously
consider getting Johan's race ECM upgrade. |

PistonHeads
is a wonderful source for news on Lotus cars as well as other
British and European brands. They contribute the Classifieds, Price
Guide, and
Discussion Forums services to the Esprit Fact File but there is a
lot more here than just that. |

My friend
Ernie has an absolutely beautiful Azure Blue Esprit V8 and a
beautiful web site to match. Here you can see lots of pretty pictures
and videos of some of us FLOG (Florida Lotus Owners Group) members in many of our events
and gatherings. |

Where would
we be without Andy Whittaker? This man took it upon himself to
tackle the monumental task of writing a Windows-based PC software
package to aid in diagnosing and repairing 4-cylinder Esprit
problems. Then he had the audacity to provide it completely for
free! FreeScan is the tool you want to use if you have a 4-pot
Esprit and his site is where you can download it from. |

Fellow car nut, driver, and friend Mark Pfeffer started MVP Track Time after attending other track days. The same fare of limited track time due to over-regulation, bad food, and some pompous attitudes drove him to develop a better mouse trap. MVP was created with sensible rules, affordable prices, good food, and a welcoming attitude, no matter what you drive. |

Tony wins
the award for the most pristine Esprit on the face of the planet.
His car is the epitome of cleanliness and perfection. When someone
says you could eat off his engine, they aren't exaggerating. This
man's obsession with maintaining the perfect Esprit is mind boggling
and the quality of the work on his upgrades is second to none. His
web site documents many of his improvements with many detailed
pictures. |

Keen Young's Lotus Page |
Keen
single-handedly defied the laws of mathematics by proving that
1+1=1. He bought two wrecked Esprits and turned them into a perfect
Esprit daily driver and autocross machine. His persistence after his
many misfortunes with windshields only proved his determination to
complete the job. Amazingly enough, once he was done he sold the car
and is now in the process of resurrecting another Esprit. |

Guy took
Keen's idea of resurrecting an Esprit and ran with it. Currently he
has enough Esprit carcasses laying around to start his own factory
or Esprit junk yard - depending on how you look at it. His site has
lots of nice pictures documenting his progress. |
