im gonna use a different method to lower it the notching trick works after you find the problem. since i know about it im gonna do it before the car is all finished

yup this car is gonna be 1 of 2 box stock builds

[klutz_100]

You are making this look this kit look very nice!

I am also interested to see/read about your fixes

[Uninen]

That is looking very nice! I like the color, and nice touch on the wheels! It's kinda funny, I just found one of these on evil-Bay (haven't received it yet) and now everyone is building these, after I bought mine! Well not everyone, but this is second on AF after I bought mine... I've wanted to build one since I saw Osamu's build (big up Kunta).

[Scale-Master]

Yes, you really brought those wheels to life!

wheres the distributor on this car

[cjsbosox]

Hey Noel! I see you are back at work. Loks good. I remember building one of these long ago. The color is a nice choice

on the old turbo four, the distributor sat underneath the intakes (pretty much underneath the carbs) on the top facing side (engine is at an angle remember) of the engine.
In relation to the car, it is pretty much smack bang in the centre of the engine bay.

I'll go dig out a photo if you need one.

if you could that would be great i cant seem to find a good shot of one

[drunken monkey]

ok, had a look and this is the best i've got.
stand alone engine shot.



two disclaimers.

This is of the 907 engine of which there were 3 versions of so I can't guarantee the accuracy of this vs what was used in the Esprit, especially UK vs US models.
Of course, this only matters if you're bothered about the accuracy.

You'll have to note that the distributor isn't shown connected to the coil pack.
I couldn't find a good/reliable shot of where the coil.
