It will usually get posted here when it happens. Phil Anderson and George Hiillard usually organize it.

Both seem like reasonable vehicles for towing a 7.

there are several 7 owners in the Houston area. You will have to come join us for the 7s festival.

You gotta love the GT500. They are suppose to be great on the track. I would be scared to track one if I was fortunate enough to own one. I admire the folks that are brave enough to really drive those type of machines to the limit.

Great looking car. The SS is a fine running car. Should provide years of fun reliable performance.

Where are you in Tx?

Kitcat is your Touareg a diesel?

New diesels ate really great pullers, but if you don't pull most of your miles its hard to justify the higher fuel price plus 100.00 dollar oil changes. Most brands require exhaust fluid too. Never though would be a word in my vocabulary. I have 2005 dodge quad cab diesel that has been great. It gets 21-22 mpg empty and pulling my Ultralite on an open trailer gets 20-21 mpg at 75 mph. Newer trucks will be lucky to do 15. Might look at the f150 Eco boost a friend has one and it hauls ass plus gets 23 mpg empty and are reported to get decent mileage towing. They have a good tow rating to boot.

Funny if it did happen.

Fair price with ABS too. Looks very nice good luck.

Thanks guys.

Unfortunately

Thanks It was registered in Tx before and has a Tx title but they are really busting his chops.

Josh who bought my black Ultralite is having a hell of a time getting it registered in CA. For some reason since the Tx title doesnt say kit car or assy car they cant register it. It has Ultralite as the make and S2k as the model. Can you other Ultralite owners look at your titles and see what they say. PM me if you dont want to post it here. He has been round and round with them for 3 months now.

I had to change to a stronger diff in our supercharged cars. Everything else has held up well. Hey Gale I'm building a new car. I sold the black one a few months back. Post some pics of that new beast. I've been following your build but haven't seen any recent photos. I've been dying to see it. How's the LS7? I'm guessing just about right.

I'm hoping to be done on time to do the Smokie Mountain tour this fall. The motor should be done in another month or so. He will dyno the motor so we should have a good idea what it will do shortly.

400 hp is good fun and you can use most of it most of the time. I prefer more torque. Lower torque tends to keep things from getting torn up. IMO you cant have enough torque. My new engine is being built for wide flat torque curve. I'm not going to concern myself to much with hp on this one. It should be a respectful 320-350 range NA.

That's on my bucket list of vehicles. I would like to put air ride suspension on one. Keep us posted on the progress.

Wow that's looking great.

Does sealing the air flow around the Trans over heat the Trans? I would think it needs that air. We have had good luck with Jet Coatings on headers making much power than 216hp. Did you cure them the way they tell you when you installed it. It will burn right off if you don't do the curing process.

That will make sick to your stomach. That's the problem with hillclimbs no room for error. Trees, guard rails and rock walls are in your runoff area.

The turbo is making more torque for sure. 7evins car did 430rwhp 338 ft/lbs it was running rich and they couldn't get the HKS to communicate to the laptop to make any adjustments. Worked on that issue for 5 hours. Something was wrong with Kenny's tuning key. HKS pulled out of the US market and we think disabled all the tuning keys. So he is stuck with current tune for now. Kenny felt he could get 460 to 475 out of it. 7evin really needs a sequential trans. You just can't shift fast enough the first three gears. I had been looking at the Elite transmissions myself for my new car. They are pricey but not as bad as Quaife.

What do you think a turbo Westfield weighs? 1200-1250 lbs?

I personally like the Elise and Evora look. I would proudly drive either I guess that makes me a nerd.

Wow that is pretty quick. 7evins car is about the same power level now. It is really sick, but a weighs a bit more. That Westfield is a definite beast. He was pushing pretty hard. He definitely has some driving skill. He dropped a wheel several times and didn't lose it.
