Cloud81918 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 My dream car. I've always wanted one, finally bought one 6 months ago. It is slowing my Conquest build though. The model was a friend of a friend. It is an 89 2.2L Turbo. 235HP, 0-60 in 5 sec and a topspeed of 159MPH http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/51/l_c096f656d7e843bcb4b39088d69e17d5.jpg http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/98/l_4da17dee2228fc1337ca20862e449b4d.jpg http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/4/l_1c955e8a8e78463c8863d6371064b447.jpg http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/34/l_74f98cadddb643dc8cc50fe3805660da.jpg http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/42/l_28f4fb4a47d2458392e2435a3c20f612.jpg http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/111/l_91d63a4d3b74581bb08835fccaeaa3f7.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technology Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I saw this thread pop up again and the first thought was, "the model needs to smile more." Then I scrolled down and saw that I had already posted that, haha. At least I'm consistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud81918 Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Some new pics from a 3 day, ~1000 mile cruise this weekend. All images shot with my Samsung Galaxy S2. Camera phones have gotten pretty good. The first is a bit zoomed in and is a bit grainy. But the others turned out pretty well I think. http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/472257_536316683050753_1029672320_o.jpghttp://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/135790_536316593050762_1585848062_o.jpghttp://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/209950_536316549717433_1507577218_o.jpghttp://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/330689_536316459717442_583113429_o.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud81918 Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Not much really I picked mine up for $15,500. It was in pretty good shape with 52K miles. When I bought it, it needed about $1000 in brake parts, I did the work myself. They are a bit fiddley and parts can range from dirt cheap to very costly. Also working on them is far from straight forward. I normally feed it about $1000 in parts a year, which is pretty damn good for an Esprit. I've had it nearly 5 years and over all it has been enjoyable. They do have a huge amount of presence on the road or in a parking lot.
