The word is out about Croc. From LocostUSA: If you have any link to the vehicle information you should put it on the usa7s.net a user called croc keeps a weekly updated list of just about all the 7 type cars for sale in USA and Canada. It's a major resource for anyone looking for 7 type car, I have sent many people over to the list who are looking for cars. Ref this car: http://www.locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=20038&sid=3b95eda04d3c4fe59c56019011ec870f (Westfield)

I think you posted this on the wrong forum. To find a buyer, this belongs on the LocostUSA forum. Slap an old VW front end (air cooled Beetle) under it and call it done.

Now for something a tiny bit different. For V-6 Storker drivers that think they really should have had a V8: https://www.ebay.com/itm/173987571354

Holy Mole!

Oops, I suppose a "Wetsfield " may have started out as a trials car.

Fishing for a confession?

I tend to agree with Croc's original observation. However, I bet the forum's extended family includes some long suffering "others" whose heads have been not swollen by a bunch of silly cars.

Oops. Never had trouble with photos before. Maybe my dues are delinquent?

To use the Raydots, that looks like the only way. I'll probably start with something simple like the photo below (not mine) then add 2 struts if it vibrates too much.

I just put Brooklands on and need mounts for my 2 side mirrors. I have Raydots that I'd like to use. I see all kinds of mounts on the web, especially tripods. But, I can not find a source. Surely everyone does not have to fabricate from scratch? Help?

I also may have to change ECMs. I have a TEC 2 and again, NO SUPPORT. I have not found anyone to tune it. Probably should have bought the unused Megasquirt on Locost 7s recently. Your engine sounds awesome. Remember the key to high tech shopping: Once you buy, quit shopping or listening to others.

"Look at that happy fool in that Seven." "How do you know he's happy?" "Well, by the bugs on his teeth!" Adapted from "Speed-Ball".

"Love the RHD! No burning legs on the exhaust,..." Man up! I love my RWD even with the exhaust on the right side. As I can testify (wife too), you will only burn your leg ONCE! You never forget again.

Love that red dash. Great job!

Don't talk like that around pony car vintage racers though. They all think they need (can handle?) 150 horses more than Parnelli Jones or Mark Donahue had back in the day.

But is that not what dragster style hood scoops are for? If you can cover a big blower on a Chevy...

Well, about time. I had noticed that Croc had been holding back with the pithy remarks for a while.

Good think you removed the "shield". Makes your car look like one of Jay Leno's Aero or Tank powered monsters. You would be a hit with the kids that put a 5 inch chrome tip on their Hondas. http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=15591&stc=1

Andy 69, Welcome to autocross with street tires. I have an old (86-89?) Birkin and have never had a problem not being able to rotate it. The understeer (205/50/15 x 4) is due to modern tires not working with light weight. As already stated, a hard lift or brake should help. Alignment / corner weights ditto. Without being a serious (huge slicks) autocrosser, Mine is almost neutral, rotates easily and is a blast, just not very fast. I have not splurged on AVON ZZS 15", and continue to hear good things about R888R Toyos. Don't know their wear rating. Someone here does... May try them. How old are the tires? If you don't know, they are probably too old. Rear fenders don't like cones. Below is a photo of mu cone catcher, just on the off side, I don't hit my side. It is removable. I am only disappointed that it has not sliced a cone off, leaving the base in the square.

"Took Mrs69 for a spin and she burned her leg on the exhaust getting Reassure the Mrs. that people only burn the leg ONCE. Won't do that again. Mind your rear fenders: they may not survive a cone strike. I can witness that one (twice), then got a cone catcher made for the off side rear fender. Fortunately, a cheap body man will repair the crack (stresses at the top) and paint for only $200 - 250.

Would you trade your occasional Seven problems for troubleshooting a Stanley Steamer? Maybe not. Interesting photo of the plumbing. Let it cool? Know which valve to shut to avoid a lobster effect? I don't even see the odd towel around. I wonder if California counts that as a near zero pollution vehicle?

Andy69, Congratulations and welcome to the virtual asylum. Do try to get your kid to go. A Seven is just his size. At stops, I get every kid I can into the driver's seat and they love it. Don't fret about the RHD. It's not a problem. More authentic looking too. Funny when a passenger tries to get it and discovers they are on the wrong side.

Croc quote: "I was thinking overnight (don't look shocked!)" Somehow I am not shocked that you think more clearly asleep than awake. That explains a lot. Cheers.
