Thats my ad. Not sure who Karl is, but I wouldn't be surprised if you knew the original owner http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=15018&stc=1

Let me know if we can agree on the front lights. I'm about to put toget a CC parts order and will order them from them directly with my order if not from you.

Everybody will be asking you for pictures so might as well nip that in the butt and post some up. People will be asking you about title as it will matter quite a bit the background on it. Bringatrailer might be your best bet for something like that with your desired reserve. It would put most eyes possible on such a unique project. Good luck with the sale.

PM'ed If you change your mind let me know.

Are those 5 3/4 in headlights? Willing to separate headlights from taillights?

That Jubilee is quite something

This is essentially a 360R or even a 400R. All it needs is the aero piece and maybe a few other small bits and pieces to make it "right" for you. Price will be around ~25,000 when finished. Certainly makes it more reasonable to afford vs the $45k figure. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2002-caterham-super-seven-2/

I'm going to try my damn best to attend. Have to get some kinks out but I'm scheduling days off and penciling this in. I'll be coming from Albany area, NY. If anybody wants to Convoy down, let me know!

http://www.midatlanticcaterham.com/ Does anybody know if they shut down or just IT issues? I've been contemplating on the squeal kit and the skid plate.

Don't sell yourself short and give yourself too little credit. Myself and I'm sure plenty others look forward to updates to this thread on the regular. Whether we already have one and are just curious about others for sale or somebody is a potential buyer as using your thread as the ultimate "7 for sale" reference guide that it is. My join date might be recent but I've been a lurker of this thread and forum for years.

I agree. The car would have done much better with both seats in and probably one single color. I was surprised to see reserve over $30k as it didn't seem like the owner was hard out for money and he just wanted to let go of the car to make room in the collection. Thats far too much money to put into it and not drive it, and yet keep it. I paid considerably less for my Zetec and it came with extra goodies and its an SLR. To each his own though. I also wouldn't own 150 cars. My 13in problem got resolved with some 888r's that I managed to source. Still debating on ordering another set and holding on to it so I don't run into another sourcing problem 5 years down the road. Not the ideal tire but it does in a pinch. I still have way less than 1000 miles under my belt with the car I got earlier this year. It came with original tires to begin with from 2001, wasn't going to push those very hard.

Makes me wonder what the reserve was or how close it got to it. I would say that 40K is very close to the price ceiling that car would see.

http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=14832&stc=1 I also have the small bend somewhere that I had to cut but that should be an easy match. I think these might be the pictures that match by googling them online http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=14833&stc=1 http://www.usa7s.net/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=14834&stc=1

I did that as well. If anybody needs Zetec part #'s I can help with that.

I would like to point out that I recently realized that my tail lights are "backwards". I don't believe they've ever been replaced or taken apart (messing with a lost power for one now) Surprised nobody has ever pointed that out yet.

I was hoping to make your list smaller but my Locost had 2 buyers fall through so far. :willy_nilly:

Jim, have you had a chance to dyno yours yet? I know you have done a few mods but overall our engines are probably from the same breed and should be very similar. Mine has always been claimed through its history to be "200hp" motor but I'd like to get how relatively true that is. I think I also have a headgasket issue going on. VCT was eliminated, also have the ITB's and whatever the work that the dealer did as part of the "SLR" package. Old email correspondence mentioned cam work.

As far as running hot this is the post I've been referencing. Not sure of it's validity http://www.zetecinside.com/xr2/zetectune.shtml?fbclid=IwAR0CEllGTWp4pxdvzcjat0vQKc_r61oGy7nyIgxNXD28sxrKeUekNhRFwfQ "The Zetec needs to run oil temperatures of above 100°C which is why it only has a 3.8litre sump capacity. If the oil temperature falls below this engine wear increases rapidly"

Edit: I realized I might have had a long week and completely mixed up coolant/oil temps. At this time I do not know what my oil temp is but the reference is, Zetec likes to run hot.

My Zetec came with one on the radiator. I can take a look and see what I can gather on it.

I read advice somewhere in the 7 community and stuck with it while troubleshooting all my fluid leaks (when I started I had coolant/oil/windshield washer/fuel and transmission leaks). With me having an Accusump system, remote filter and an oil cooler it was a LOT of lines to try to nail the leaks from. The advice was to take paper towels and zip tie pieces around connection points. 90% of the time it has worked every time. Now I'm down to leaking from the bell housing and I think the washer bottle loses fluid under hard right turns and spits it on the windshield. Regardless give that a try.

Yeah, you are a ways away.Never been to Palmer but it's been on my radar. Maybe, just maybe. I'm ok with meeting halfway as well for some reason or another. Been meaning to go to Boston for some time (haven't been in 15 years) but when I do, I doubt I'll take the 7

Cool! Good luck. Subscribing

Where are you located? You sure those are 4.5in lights? 2000 came with 7in and later years came with 5.75in I believe. You don't happen to have the mounts as well?
