Re: [DMCForum] Lotus Esprit gearbox



>You know, I've always wondered why people haven't tried doing a Renault
310/Alpine tranny conversion since the 310 was rear engined like the
DeLorean, and in theory it would be an "easy" swap. Or are these cars so
rare it's not an option?

Got it in one, although the Renault25 turbo is not that rare and has the 
same engine the later Alpines used with a different bottom end. We've 
got one waiting for a car to fit it in.

>There still remains the problem with the Lotus gearbox in that the Esprit
is a mid engined car. Wouldn't this mean to use this gearbox in a DeLo,
one would have to figure out a way of getting it to run backwards? -Louie

Yes - you just fit the transaxle the other way around.
