Well, the title would be sweet to begin with, 3 rotor mid engine. has a nice ring to it. I found a 91 lotus locally, for pretty cheap bout 5600 without engine, bad paint. Frame is straight, needs some loving....so i started to look around at replacement stock lotus engines..hard as **** to find, and expensive. So, i was thinking bout 20b single turbo. There is a company out in california makes a body kit that updates their look to the latest, 99-02 look for a couple grand, I think it would make a pretty bad ass car, but the technicalities of it all havent quite sunk in...





Just and idea, what you guys think?

well, people have made a 3 rotor delorean...... so why not a lotus?

from what i remember though, they used porsche tranny.....



if the lotus you are buying still has the tranny , scrap it, its made by peugout

i wont keep anything original on the car barely, everything must go!



What are some trannys that will bolt up to the 20b?

FikseRxSeven 12-19-2003 04:50 PM

the tranny used for the 20b delorean is one from a 911
