Have any of our LSiSers participated in a track day at Road America? It has been a dream of mine to drive this track since the early seventies but I have not found a group / club etc. that offers track days there. BTW: 2950 miles after 150 this weekend

I heard mention of an alternator going out at the track - I have had one go out at each of the two track days I have done. Have others experienced this with the SVT Zetec????? I've been told it is likely battery related and replaced the battery from the stock garden tractor battery to an Odyesey PC680, which works well for everyday but have not had it back for a track day.

It is rare that someone recognizes a Caterham let alone a LSiS but yesterday while at work an early 20's something associate notices my screen saver and asks if that's a real Caterham S7. Before I answer him I ask how he knows what a Caterham is, he answers "It's the lightest, best handling car in "Test Drive" so he always chooses it. Obviously, I need to give this young man a ride.

Met here. 4 vehicles, trailer, house plus umbrella policy. Unlimited mileage, agreed value, no restrictions on where I drive able to lower rate when in the garage for Halloween to May1.

Chris at Sevens & Elans gave me the opportunity to sit in the standard Caterham and the SV. At 6'0" 190 lbs with size 10 feet I chose the standard Caterham. The only adjustment for me was lowering the floors about 70mm to get my line of sight under the top of the windsheild. Very happy with the choice (once I lowered the floors).

Boys + Toys + Horsepower = Physics lessons don't get any better!

Weighing in at 1320 with 8 gallons of gas and the spare tire in place. The car has lightness but the driver could use a little reduction. :ack:

LOL, perhaps that should be a requirement for elected office, prove that you can live and balance a budget on McDonald's wages for a period of time. Not a bad idea!!!!!!!!!!

The se7en sits in the garage with 2734 on the odometer I am starting to think the snowblower will have more miles this year! (Maybe a little bit of cabin-fever?)

I also have a set of originals that were never installed that you or anyone else would be welcome to.

Firstgear makes very good rain gear for motorcycles that kept me dry at Lime Rock on a rainy weekend before I had the top installed.

:7frog: anybody have a wiring diagram for a caterham showing wire connections and diode placement for the four pole switch??

windchill only affects exposed skin, so cover up and minimize exposure time plus the fact that cold air produces more horsepower definantly go fast

My order is for 1 "man" - I must not have chosen gender in the original post.

to continue Boxologist's points you'll also find that the hardest core biker's will give you the hi sign when your out for a blat. they understand. young and old "car guys" seem to embrace this car. when xorad, steve and i went for a blat in september our stop at an overlook took an extra hour with all the questions of the bikers and drivers (age range probably 18 - 70+) no two are the same - ford, GM, mazda, datsun, bmw, honda, suzuki, yamaha and other powerplants / normally aspirated, turbo, supercharged / lotus, stalker, caterham, westfeild, locost, ....... - the cars are as diverse as the owners and if this forum is any indication it is a group truly interested in enjoying their lotus seven inspired sportscars - we truly fit the old "birds of a feather"

VERY NICE!

Folks, check out this website www.theracingnetwork.com they are proposing a new network similar to the old speedvision. Everything from austrailian bog racing to ALMS.

count me in for one! (men's)

Were you hooked up to the OBDII when the runs were made? Did it flash any codes? Are both the variable cam timing and variable length intake manifold activating correctly? (For both their main effect is to raise the torque curve at lower RPM's)

Très agréable

I am long in the torso (6' with a 31" inseam). I lowered the floors of my Caterham S 70 mm to lower the top of my head below the roll bar. Prior to lowering floors. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/469980702_PICT0267.jpg After lowering floors. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/111815328_PICT0386_2.jpg In this photo you can see the lowered box section to the right of the oil pan. This also pulled my line of sight down below the top frame of the windsheild while maintaining the stock cloth seats. With my size 10's the only way to fit the feet in the pedal box is with the 9.5 Puma Sport Cats - if somebody comes up with an idea for a dead pedal I would love to hear it.

I couldn't resist. :lol: Front engine (kohler 20hp 2 cyclinder) Rear wheel drive requires constant maintenance no heater although it does have a huge tendency towards understeer http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/764878834_CIMG0467.jpg the yellow "7" matched too well to resist :lol:

I should have it ready today!

A few more photos and with a little help from Mazda (hint, hint) I will have some video to post later. Nice overlook on the Minnesota side of the river. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1542688724_CIMG0592.jpg Overlook from the Wisconsin side. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1320376083_CIMG0599.jpg End of the day group shot with - Brent, Brenda, Amy, Steve and Drew http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1607147176_CIMG0603.jpg

With a Caterham the S vs. the SV also has a sorting affect.
