VIN 12306 'Auryn' : RHD twin turbo rebuild

[A Van]

Good point Gez

I also managed to track down one of those 'Handling by Lotus' badges (that are out of stock at DMCH etc); found a vendor in Malaysia that had a slightly newer style (by which I mean, 'more mid 80s looking') which I think looks neat.

You might want to take those off once you've actually driven it

Cheeky git

He could combine it with his recent side-lights decision and make it "Handling by Lada"

Nonsense, I am sure the handling will be within striking distance of a Lotus Cortina;

I wonder if any members can compare? !!!

I've never driven a Lotus Cortina so no idea.

We all know that no two DeLoreans are the same and when adding into the mix that some have had new rubber or poly bushes, different shocks (plus the personal setup favoured by the owner) then the gap in handling widens even further.

I think previously Starglider has mentioned that he is looking to drive another DeLorean (even as a passenger) to gauge how these cars feel.

From memory Admin bloke's first ride in a DeLorean (possibly 2003) was in my car at Gaydon? Not long after that he bought his DeLorean.....

I've driven a Yugo and that was better than a delorean round corners , so I would say yes a lotus Cortina handles better

And that ride has always been appreciated Chris
I passed it on when I let Carl drive my car at Lotus

If I meet starglider he can be a passenger in my car for reference

here a example..
a lot of work to build this one......

[Starglider]

here a example..

Thanks Nico, that looks good. Ed Uding is doing the vast majority of the engine work on this build, using a combination of DeLorean (lower), Volvo (upper), off-the-shelf (turbo, EFI, alternator), custom (pistons, cams, pulleys) and original Legend (we are salvaging what we can from a fire-damaged engine) parts.

No photos yet I'm afraid but here's a little bit I found to go under the hood logo;
