When they ask me that question I just say read my plate.

Is this really a fear? I don't mean to sound negative but do you have some stats to address this problem? I will soon be getting rid of my bladder because of age, and problems with my gas gauge. So if it's a serious problem I won't replace it with a new bladder.

I ordered a new oil gauge for my 7 from Rocky Mountain Caterham. . My grievance is what happened to the price when it arrived. The original cost of the gauge was $175.00. When it arrived with the added tariff cost of $55.00, the shipping cost to me was another $12.00. My $175.00 cost ended up being $242.00! I'm not besmirching Rocky Mountain Caterham, they are a fantastic company and they need to make a profit. This is not a rant but it should be. Be aware of the new tariffs.

I've been out of the active racing scene for a few years. I would love to know more about the car listed above. Engine size, what class would they race In, DSR?, and what price range, and where to purchase? I'm not sure I'm being lazy but I'm having a hard time finding a site to list my needs on this particular car. Thanks

I would like to update my current data system without taking out a second mortgage on my house. I have the standard Caterham dash light system and standard gauges. I haven't got the confidence that the gauges are not all that accurate. They vibrate and crack and fall out of the dash. That sounds like I'm dissatisfied but I'm not, what can I expect with a 13 year old car. I've been told by a reliable source that is very common with Caterham. I would like to find a used Mychron or equivalent system or any model at a reasonable price. Can anyone help with this?

I knew the smart ones would help me. All I had to do is ask. Thanks guys.

2025 Driving school recommendations
Frankie replied to Greg Davall's topic in General Sevens Discussion
I've driven a few cars on different tracks such as Spec Miata, Formula Continental, and some lumbering Mustangs. The touch on all three of those cars are pretty predictable after a couple of laps. When I got into my Caterham it was a whole new learning curve. I almost took out a few guard rails on the way home on 215. At first I thought it was a bump steer, but then I realized it is as you say the small wheel and the rack. Without giving you too big of a head It was a pleasure to see those smooth hands. -

Very nice video and really smooth hands! -
These plates are so much fun. When we have a unique car it is nice to be able to use a unique plate! Vovchandr, When talking to a stranger about my car I often refer to it as a large Go Kart!

I saw awhile back we had some posts about our unique license plates from our Seven members. Just got this today and thought I would see what you guys thought and maybe get some more.

It was a wonderful day under the Elm, Cottonwoods and Pine trees at the Historic park in the center of Salt Lake. I didn't take an official count of how many cars were there but it had to be in the realm of 150 plus. We were parked next to a beautiful 2005 Morgan Aero 8. Breath taking car! But the best part of the day was meeting a new Seven friend who I will be able to drive Utah's Wasatch's canyons with. I purchased a GoPro Max this year and have already driven four of our closest Canyons. Millcreek, Emigration, Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons. As soon as i figure out how to use the damn GoPro and edit the film I will post them.

To Wrap or not to Wrap that is the question.
Frankie replied to Frankie's topic in General Sevens Discussion
This is exactly what i wanted to hear. Thanks all. -
I've just spent the last hour trying to find a link about wrapping my exhaust headers. I've been told it really works for heat reduction but it damages the pipes after use. Any help would be appreciated. These words from our friend William Shakespeare are appropriate. "To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them" Or pay for a new set of headers?

Thank you.

I just stored my car for the winter in my heated garage, but I still get dust from both outside elements and while I'm working in my shop. So I need a lite cover for my 2010 S3 R400.
-
Damn sorry! It was an impromptu drive. I got some touch up paint for the small hits on the car and I got super antsy. Heading out to the track tomorrow to get some work done if you can get away.

Salt Lake City has within a fifteen minute drive five major canyons you can drive. Emigration, Big and Little Cottonwoods. Then you have Parleys canyon which leads to Park City, and that opens up another vista of fun for the Seven owner. I hope I can get to the rest of them before winter sets in.

My Driving Impressions, Thoughts and Questions
Frankie replied to rider's topic in General Sevens Discussion
Excellent appraisal Rider and I hope your drive and stay in our State was as good as the smile i can see on your face. I was very disappointed that I wasn't able to meet with you for that gorgeous drive. Next time you make the long trip back to Utah make sure you contact me so I can join you on another drive. Maybe with a new 7? I'm still stuck in bureaucratic quick sand with my emission problem with the Salt Lake County Health Department. All I have to say about that, at this time, is! Beware of the bureaucrat! -

Frankie replied to Cueball1's topic in General Sevens Discussion
Contact Tony. Thats his car in the picture, member name, tvacc. I bought my 7 from him and it came with some small side deflectors that were attached by the door pins. They really worked well for me and they look good.
