  1. If you don't mind importing, check this out, http://www.burtonpower.com/
  2. Knock on wood, so far my crossflow hasn't been leaking since I redid the gaskets with good old Permatex #2.
  3. Now that it's cooling off, let us know about your latest blat.
  4. That would make them scary fast. No telling how it would handle, maybe like old school 911's.
  5. My 7 has stainless steel screwed to the rear wing. If you are going for something detachable you may think about sandwiching some metal between some soft material. The metal should prevent sharp stone edges from piercing the soft material and dinging your wings.
  6. 1197 lbs for my '95 Caterham crossflow according to a web site it was posted on in 2007
  7. Last weekend my son and I did the "Rally for the Lane" http://www.lanemotormuseum.org/events/rally-for-the-lane I got the last slot for the October event. The car we had was a 2001 MGF with a convertible top. We kept it up since the weather wasn't great. Our turn around point was the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green. It was damp on the drive up and rain showers on the way back. There were two cars that didn't have tops at all. One was a Renault Spider that had a tack but no speedometer. I'm sure that made the instructions more challenging, no ODO to gauge when to turn. Our car had a speedo in kilometers. The Corvette Museum has a display of the cars that were eaten by the sinkhole. One car had only minor damage and was started after is was recovered from the pit. All the other cars are in their as recovered condition. In the Lane Motor Museum there is a Lotus 7 ('67 I think) on display. As a bonus, after returning from the rally there was a reception in the warehouse where cars are stored when not on display. They have 2 Caterhams along with a lot of interesting (obscure, odd, "say what?") cars. I would recommend doing the rally, you get to drive a car from the museum which will be something most of us would never get a chance to drive.
  8. It's those extra pistons that weigh you down. :rofl: Yeah, I know you'll say "Eat my dust!"
  9. What motor is in it? I would like to see it when it arrives. Coffee Break
  10. Which motor?
  11. Look into insurance also. The specialty insurers have limits on use.
  12. +1 :cheers:
  13. thanks breezy7
  14. I need some help. Which way do the hinges go on factory doors?
  15. How would y'all do if it was pictures of backseats?
  16. only 43%, I was better at the year than make. I would do better at "newer" cars.
  17. I was at COTA for the WEC/IMSA race and spotted this rig from the observation tower. Nice little car hauler.
  18. It may depend on where the crack is. Photos and or description?
  19. Have you checked fuel pressure? Do you have a way to test the fuel pressure regulator?
  20. I'm always finding small gravel on my seat when I get out of my car. Just imagine how much crap that front wheel will blast the driver of that thing.
  21. Looks like overexposure.
  22. My cat has a Austin Marina straight axle. I think the drums are at the max dia. and I have not found any new parts available. I am considering converting to rear disks. I see a few advantages; new parts, no adjusters (the existing ones are crude at best) but will I need to replace the master cylinder and/or install a line pressure adjuster and what does this do to the parking brake? Am I asking for trouble or an adventure.
  23. FWIW, Here is a photo of the front cover of my crossflow. (it's much cleaner now)
  24. I'm working to have the Brooklands fitted for this year. Sept 12, 2015 10AM to 3PM http://atlantabritishcarfayre.com/
  25. Paul, You're too much. :rofl::rofl::rofl:
