Why an Esprit: Always loved the exotic look and like very unique cars

HKS BOV – WC 2ndary injectors – HKS AIC(to run the secondary injectors) – Euro spec Cam gears – Chargecooled –
Replaced slave cylinder – replaced red clutch hose – replaced worn stock steering wheel – rear brake pads– rear brake rotors
Problems: oil leak(from oil pump seal)

Info: I bought the Esprit back in December of 05 with the intent on just doing a couple of things, like maybe some wheels and a K&N filter. Now I've just completed adding a chargecooler and adding the secondary injectors now I'll send the GMP4 ecm to John at WC for reprogramming and hopefully see about 300whp. I love the looks you get in the Esprit and everyone wants to look at the engine! I plan on doing a full paint respray next year and retrim some of the interior leather soon as well.
