1197 lbs for my '95 Caterham crossflow according to a web site it was posted on in 2007

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.

It's those extra pistons that weigh you down. :rofl: Yeah, I know you'll say "Eat my dust!"

What motor is in it? I would like to see it when it arrives. Coffee Break

Which motor?

Look into insurance also. The specialty insurers have limits on use.

+1 :cheers:

thanks breezy7

I need some help. Which way do the hinges go on factory doors?

How would y'all do if it was pictures of backseats?

only 43%, I was better at the year than make. I would do better at "newer" cars.

I was at COTA for the WEC/IMSA race and spotted this rig from the observation tower. Nice little car hauler.

It may depend on where the crack is. Photos and or description?

Have you checked fuel pressure? Do you have a way to test the fuel pressure regulator?

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.

Looks like overexposure.

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.

FWIW, Here is a photo of the front cover of my crossflow. (it's much cleaner now)

I'm working to have the Brooklands fitted for this year. Sept 12, 2015 10AM to 3PM http://atlantabritishcarfayre.com/

Paul, You're too much. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

2 coil packs?

Did you consider getting a closed trailer? What was your requirements? I've pondered getting one, but that's about it. :willy_nilly:

I recently replaced my rad cap. I would guess it was original to the build in 1997. I was getting overflow but no return flow. I installed a new cap and system is well behaved. There is enough room in the tank for expansion and the level in the filler neck looks consistent. The original cap was a 11 lb., I was able to find a 13 lb. and the higher pressure has not been a problem since I have installed a new set of hoses.

How thick is the smoke on the coastal back roads? It sounds like you're getting burned to a crisp! Good luck with it.

FWIW, try using a timing light as a strobe light. It might help isolate the problem pulley.
