Something different Lots going on here https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1985-caterham-7/

Do you know where to? How long ago?

Saw this on instagram

Yes it has been done. I've done a few wrap jobs but never a seven yet. Overall seven will be pretty easy with exception of hood (slats are killer) and nose cone. Professionals are able to do nose cone in one piece. I don't think I'd be able to do it like that.

Seller also has "salvage" as a tag in the bottom Could be insignificant or could be relevant especially with your comments on what appears to be damage

That does seem like quite a bargain.C Croc in the other thread I saw the video that talked about CSR's being made in S3 chassis? I've never seen that. I though they were too narrow for inboards and were only made in SV?

Thanks. I run out of gearing at about 120mph or less 3.62 rear diff 1:1 6th 225/45/13 ~7300rpm redline My rear tires a little small overall diameter but these are the best I can get from Toyo. Avons will be better fitted.

For you all aero screen people. How many are switching to windshields/doors? I'm expecting it to be quite brisk. I'm still aero in NY but mornings and evenings get very cold very quick.

Yes please buy them so I can stop justifying buying them just for the wiring harness

Hi and welcome. Photos are much appreciated to help tell the story! Do you have any questions about possible options on the new build? Whether it be aero screen, weather proofing (PNW after all), etc

Got a few dents removed by a PDR guy after procrastinating on that appointment for too long. It was amazing to see him work and was quite humorous to see his reaction to working on aluminum. Removing dents from the hood was... interesting. For removal hood needs to be well secured in the location to apply force to it. Obviously it can't be on the car. Had to create a stand out of saw horses, straps, jack stands, 2x4's etc and it worked. Overall not perfect but worlds better. Some areas were particular difficult. Most were on curves. Life pro tip. SECURE STUFF IN YOUR "trunk". Also i recommend the padding from SBFS

Does anybody know if NJMP lodging is pet friendly?

These cars happen to enjoy the same benefit as a muscle car with a loud exhaust. Cops tend to look the other way. NY is notoriously bad for fining people for no front plate and even after being pulled over twice they havent even mentioned it.

I was pleasantly surprised to have my hotel fee be 50% less for the new dates. :seeya:

I'm fixed as well.

Ok I might have selected the wrong one as well. My +1 is just the pitcrew/nondriver guest for $50 Me I selected the top one "Guest application rate" ($350) Wording is indeed confusing. Are we Ok selecting the bottom one? "Member guest rate $225"?

Thank you for this post. It took me a solid 15 minutes to make sure I'm not crazy and I didn't book a hotel for the wrong dates after reading everything through. Track days reserved, Hotel is adjustment is pending. Who do you guys go through for insurance for track day events like this?

Who thinks this will fit into an S3 frame?? https://www.locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=20665

Thank you. There is a bit to digest in that post, but it certainly seems to not be a "brainless cure on" bolt on solution as it would seem. Negative

A few comment points from experience I don't see the belt listed now on CC website but be careful when ordering and make sure there is an FIA time stamp on the belt. I've bought a set last year that didn't have it and that was a bad discovery to make. Other comment is one I still havent found a solution to. Since replacing the belt, my seat doesn't go as far forward as it used to as the side belts jam in between the seat and the S3 chassis and stop the seat from going any more forward. Not a problem for many but my SO being of a shorter stature is unable to drive until I figure this out. A seat job is one you want to do as little as possible. While simple in theory, on such a small chassis it's a huge PITA. It's a lot better with two people and it becomes a lot better if you find one of the DIY solutions to help the bolts stay in place for future replacements. Taking the seats in and out is also roughing up the leather on the center arm rest, which is an unpleasant result. As far as other brands etc, others can chime in with that experience. Edit: I'd like to add that I believe 6pt is pretty universally preferred to a 5pt setup.

Question for NJMP seasoned Vets My rear 888's are approaching the wear mark. They aren't on it yet but they are getting close to it. NJMP form for cars just says this "Tires: absolutely no cord showing" I'd like to finish the season off on these before getting new ones for next year. I will bring the spare set of "race wheels" just in case. I talked to Kraus about ordering a set of better tires but not sure if I want to bite the bullet on $1100 just yet this season if I don't have to. So is approaching the wear bar a concern or they literally care about cords showing?
