  1. Thanks for the advice. I'll proceed that way. Puncture insurance is secured either way with a backup set of OEM 10 spoke 15s
  2. Which one of you ordered the last set of 185 Avon ZZS's??? Backup/main tires are on the way. ZZS for the rear, ZZR for the front. Not that big a deal (correct me if I'm wrong) Only debate at this point is to whether (likely) kill the Toyo rears on the track or change before hand and change there or change before hand and figure out time to finish the Toyos on the street later.
  3. Something different Lots going on here https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1985-caterham-7/
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. 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?
  7. Your messages are full. Feel free to mail me at vovchandr@gmail.com with what you like to consider reasonable.
  8. There is also this you can download with ease https://locost7.info/gearcalc.php?fbclid=IwAR1qQcjz84t6o7dhEhAoKv17AhjS71coqQgYwTCmbW4zOPi0PefApeT9JlY
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Yes please buy them so I can stop justifying buying them just for the wiring harness
  12. 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
  13. Can't say I've ever seen foglights setup on a 7. Those look clean!
  14. 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
  15. 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.
  16. I was pleasantly surprised to have my hotel fee be 50% less for the new dates. :seeya:
  17. 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"?
  18. 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?
  19. Who thinks this will fit into an S3 frame?? https://www.locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=20665
  20. 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
