I'm under the opinion that if somebody isn't paying enough attention to see you to begin with, a little bit of color isn't going to help. It's not a "blending in" problem as much as people not seeing you at all problem. Best advice is drive defensively. If you ride a bike you're very familiar with the concept. You can't be hit if you don't put yourself into a position to be hit/not seen. We are so low and small people just don't see us. Bikes get cut/off turned into all the time with people saying "I didn't see him". They aren't just making excuses, their eyes saw them but their brain physically didn't register them as an object to avoid. For that reason it's particular dangerous to be riding bikes at the start of the season when people gotten out of use of seeing and expecting motorcycles. I've had a bright red Miata and somebody turned into me while being right next to them. They just weren't thinking paying attention and the thought of missing a turn caused them to react immediately without thinking of consequences or safety.

The behind the scenes hard work is appreciated. Looking forward to new interface. Thanks all!

We are 2.5 hours apart. With more and more active NE owners and pending pandemic resolution I'd look forward to some kind of meet, cruise or joining others in an bigger event.

Welcome fellow Zetecer to NE. You have an identical Zetec model with VCT like mine. I believe Cougar was the source for these. East or West MA?

This touched on that

I'd be down as well obviously.

8 year?. No kidding. That's some lurking.

How did you even find them? Reverse image search doesn't like to them. I'm impressed. I think they have a Instagram as well but no luck on actually getting product out of them.

IRS in a non CSR?

CF is often used in motorcycle guards/shields and even parts of the actual muffler. Real CF should have no problem standing up to the heat. I can't advice on making your own but I have come across one manufactured by a company. Appears to have been an extremely limited run and maybe even not for sale but worth noting that it exists.

I don't think I've came across this in the searches First person view of Stigs 620R run in the wet Looks like quite a handful to be pushing a car with no aids and that much power in the rain (wet)

Hi Chris. Welcome! As a former forum owner I can relate to a lot of issues of running one.vBulletin software has some bugs and from management side it's hard to be on top of all the loose ends. I'm glad it got sorted out. Are there are other Birkins in the area? Post up a picture! Edit. Seeing this thread bump is a pleasant surprise, 2020 with another curve ball.

There is also this in CT

This would be almost the perfect car for Doug Demuro to get around to reviewing since it's local to him in CA if they still have it. Great color combo too. They mentioned there was an "old Top Gear episode" with Veyron going against a 620R? I never came across that.

It's the internet and people are visually based. To entice them going through the awesome links I'll embed one of your photos here http://drhasegawa.com/prisoner6birkin/images/171126/DSC_0026s.jpg

Quarter coin works in a pinch. Otherwise a short flat head screwdriver. If you're really fancy you can by a Dzus tool, although not sure how it fits. Generally there is decently ample room to fit even relatively bigger screw drivers. Could be different on an SV

IMO if you're going to be filling in the holes for the switches for the process anyway, just lay one big sheet of CF vinyl. Drastically cheaper, drastically easier and nobody will be able to tell the difference. Actually lighter too if you consider the resin etc. I've done by Aeroscreen in a layer of vinyl because I couldn't justify the price delta or the net weight benefit for the real thing but the look matched my carbon dash, wings, guards etc. Edit: Time benefit too. You could be done in a half hour, beginning to end once the holes are filled

After receiving two broken OEM Caterham windshields I can stand witness they aren't laminated. They seem to crack and break like regular glass. For what that's worth.

Yeah I'm not worried about the defroster. The replacement piece of glass CC sells is just plain glass. Only way to get defrost replacement is in the whole assembly (from what I can tell). My defroster has never been connected. Where did Tbox go? Just a local glass place? They would sell laminated glass? Any idea what the costs were?

After witnessing the laws of entropy in practice by ordering one piece of glass and receiving multiples from England it seems that my options are limited to finding something local or sate side at least. Anybody have experience with replacing the windshield glass? Just the glass without assembly or heater elements. I checked beachmanracing website and they only list the entire windshield assembly. Is this something a local glass place can cut with relative ease, since it's a flat piece and and I have a mockup? Anybody ever go through insurance for this? How do glass places treat vehicles that they don't stock or can really order for?

Those are SLR model wheels, discontinued. They are Mike Barnby (MB) 3 piece wheels with impossible to find center caps. They came in two varieties, one regular flat and one with rolled bead lip which was preferred. It's easier to buy a 7 with them on already than to buy just the wheels. Sometimes these are also called "KN". Not sure why. Supercharging isn't something I'm serious about right now but will at least mock up to see how feasible it is or it isn't dimensionally. I need to send the ITB's off this winter and I already have the SC on hand. The opportunity is there..

One thing I'd like to add, without referencing any sale in particular, but a 7 that is already registered makes life a lot easier in many states to transfer registration into than starting from square 1, and that alone can carry a premium.

Any reason not to list it on BAT or even be the first 7 on cars & bids?
