Not sure where you're getting those prices? https://caterhamparts.co.uk/nose-cones/5341-nosecone-badge-black-silver-self-adhesive.html?search_query=badge&results=13 27.16 VAT excl. =37.22 UNITED STATES DOLLAR + shipping About $50 USD is what I've been paying, but I typically combine shipping to have about one big order from the UK a year.

I think you're being awefully optimistic about my single car garage..

Caterham, The Doors Don’t Help

So visually the only difference is front and rear fenders? That's amazing that two bolt on parts is all it takes to convert Caterham into a Kei car (other than the engine size limit)

Felt a little out of place today at the last Cars and Coffee of the season

It's Dyno tuno cost counting their ECU and familiarity. If they were to try to use my old limited ability Pectel I can only assume it will be much higher considering it doesn't track AFR in the ECU afaik and it will take much longer. Still I can only assume that's cheaper than the total. Not sure why the MAP, maybe to proof the future upgrades such as FI. But yes I currently have the TPS on the ITBs. I know the wideband sensors are the same so I can at least subtract that. 12 to 15 hours to repin the ECU seems excessive? I would expect that price for replacing the entire harness.

Whatever happened to going somewhere and getting a $600-1000 basic tune? Does that not exist anymore Got the quote from the tuner Rough math on the lower end comes out to be $7000+ That figure is NOT in my current ballpark for a tune

Ok. That is fantastic. Kudos

For anybody wondering about the pedal difference between early and late pedals, I happen to have both. New is the round one. Old is flat. New sits higher and not sure if it will fit just yet but it certainly seems to provide more travel which is what I'm after. If it doesn't work, I have replacement pedal to bend over further

Caterham 620S review - is this the ultimate Caterham? Power, performance and a few creature comforts

Reinforced some of the existing mounts with JB wild as an attempt to make them better. Couldn't have them welded while mounted due to likely damage to CF and wasn't going to remount all of them. Will get replacement units reinforced in meantime. Also discovered that there is always something new to find. My left and right fairing stays are different. Not sure why or how but they have different width spread and aren't interchangeable. Luckily I have new race mounts to make it all work. Race mounts march one side but not the other

The Lotus 7 story Timestamped shout out below... @JohnCh @Croc

If I recall during the history of the original Lotus 7, there was an engine upgrade that made it a Super 7. It was either larger or even had "super" in the name (super sprint? or something?) and as far as I know the name has stuck around as it was only made with that engine going forward. Can't find the source on that right now, but I'm sure somebody will correct me otherwise.

Another track year, another set of failing BigHeads fasteners. This time around im going to see if some reinforcement welding can be added in weak failing points at the bends. The glue held fine so far for year 2 and 3, the actual metal fatigues and fails. Glue is so strong it's actually a bear to remove. I refuse to hard mount the fenders. I only imagine that the situation would only cause more trouble in the future and I like the ability to swap over fender mounts as needed due to different tire and wheel sizes (I have high and low fender mounts now)

I feel like it's time for you to get a Montana plate..

Funny you say that about being alike Here is what used-to-be-mine-became-hers Grom looks like along some of my other bikes. It's small enough that I still keep it in the single car garage next to 7. It does sound like you have a very nice HPC unit. With straight cut gears I believe you said as well? Also mimics mine. The whine is awesome. Helmet is obviously personal risk tolerance. I wear safety glasses and so far debris hasn't been an issue other than the track. Got nailed with a piece of tire in my visor last time at NJMP. Brits leaving stains behind is just their way of marking US territory. It's like a dog peeing on a fire hydrant outside. It doesn't really own it, but it feels better about leaving the mark and claiming it. Look forward to seeing more pictures and experiences with your 7.

Ah the Vegas life. Where 7 could actually serve as a "year round" vehicle. You should still be excited. The car really can be a life changing epiphany in a way for those who life small well handling cars. You being a motorcycle rider like myself, you'll be amused to hear that I barely ride any of my bikes anymore since getting the 7. Thats after many many years of riding and behind a die hard bike guy. Any time it's nice enough for a bike, it's nice enough for a 7 and it's a similar experience that's better in some ways. No helmet, no gear, no need to worry about falling over or glancing at guard rails as a decapitation device. You just go out and enjoy it. Strongly recommend an aero screen. With all that said, in NY the car doesn't see more than a few thousand miles a year. Between temperature, other weather, limited utility and numerous gremlins/breakdowns it certainly doesn't make a daily for me. I believe reliability is hit or miss. It's simple in many ways but high strung in other ways. As you can see by my thread I've been chasing misc issues throughout my ownership but to me that's part of the experience. Plus eventually I'll run out of things to replace...
