  1. 4x12 2024 Alcad .040 + $330.00 (No shipping, just gas) :banghead:
  2. Anyone game for August? http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/669343849_smile2.gif
  3. What's the daily room rate to stay in the "Sarcophagus"/Trailer? :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
  4. If each of you would lend me a can of this I could be enjoying driving my Seven! http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/426839778_funny-pictures-whup-ass-0C5.jpg
  5. The "new" Miller tig is as smooth as it gets. I went to Dillsburg, Pa yesterday and picked up a 4x12 sheet of 2024 T3 Alcad to reskin the Seven. I need to have the car road worthy by the first part of May as I would like to "drive" to 3 events. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1227785360_smile77.jpg
  6. When do you guys sleep??????????????? http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/239150327_smile13.gif
  7. Arya: I have some room beside the brackets, so that I,m thinking of adding some addational support like you are describing. The top portion of the brackets are OK. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/2044872501_smile5.gif
  8. Arya: After reading a few reviews, and prepared for the “wrath” of Steve I must admit that I may have picked the wrong beer. Is this going to start a fight? Foster's Special Bitter is yet another lame offering from the folks at Foster's breweries. This beer does have a nice bronze color and it does produce a good amount of foam. But that's where the good qualities end. It is all downhill from there. This beer is labeled as a bitter. If you have tasted a true English Bitter, you will know that Foster's Special Bitter is unworthy of its name. There is virtually nothing, aside from the color, that validates Foster's claim that this beer is anything like an English Bitter. It has a dry, watery flavor profile and a bad aftertaste. Foster's Special Bitter starts out with a bland taste of grain, then it finishes with a slightly bitter flavor. The taste is like drinking a glass of hard water. The alcohol level is very low in this product, only 2.8%. This is a good quality, I suppose, for those who are designated drivers. For the rest of us, the low alcohol level, coupled with the watery body and the weak flavor profile, make this beer a forgettable experience. I cannot think of any food that would be compatible with this beer. As far as occasions go, perhaps it could be served during a wintertime gathering of friends who have bad colds or the flu. They wouldn't be able to taste anything, so you wouldn't be criticized for serving such bad beer. Foster's Special Bitter is a very weak, flimsy, beer product. It might be a little bit bitter, but it's far from being special. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/2082465974_axleBracket_parts_SM.jpg Rear Suspension: When I started the project I purchased a Busa engine. It’s a book frame and I just fabricated the bracket that they recommended. I’m going to fire up the plasma cutter and try to improve the design. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1673220015_smile10.gif
  9. 7even: Last year you had problems with the rear. What are you doing differently this year? P.S. I ripped the brackets on both side of mine last year.
  10. I think that I would have to vote for my "home team" http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1482049026_463303791_ss5.jpg http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/958873987_root.bmp
  11. To the United Ebrahimi Racing Federation: I’m submitting the following mediation request. Notice in the below picture the extensive damage to the rear suspension. The rear axle buttress indicates that the bracket is overstressed. The redesign is pending review from the legal department. Once that process is approved the fabricator can start the approved repair process. In light of this I believe that it would be agreous not to spot me (2) Fosters to level the playing field. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1035475865_P1010658.JPG P.S. I will not be able to sleep until a proper equallibreum is restored!!! http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/2147219941_sad face.jpg

    I found the information on the following site. http://www.saltflats.com/traction.html Have any of you guys been to speed week?

  14. Mazda: Many thanks for helping to connect seven guys together. Now when I wakeup in the middle of the night and look at the site it won't take as long for my old eyes to adjust. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1434624281_WhenNightFalls.jpg
  15. I was talking to a policeman Monday and noticed that the blue lights on top of his car were leds. I have purchsed all of the materials that I need to build custom tail lights, and the total cost is less that $35.00.
  16. Last Friday I purchased a new Miller Dynasty 200 tig, and I told my wife that you made me do it Mazda!
  17. I like the hood Mazda.
  18. I quit stock racing because of the crashes. I was a light weight compared to "rock heads". :) :)
  19. What does a new frame cost?
  20. Without further information I would say condensation. I’ve purchased engines that were locked-up just from setting in uncondtioned containers.

    Weigh In...

    My seven is going on a "diet". :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

    Weigh In...

    I weight 255 in the winter and 235 in the summer. My SR20DET powered Locost weighs 1131 with ~ 1/4 tank of fuel. :ack: How much does the spare tire and jack weight ? This could be close! :banghead:
  23. I think that if you used a more simplistic approach that it makes perfect sense. A v-band clamp at the turbo, a flex connector, a clamp at the balance point. The system is less than 4 feet in legnth. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/265842460_portrait-of-a-mad-scientist-~-741024.jpg
  24. I need to give you your hose clamp back.:banghead:
  25. Even more "Snake Oil" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6yRn4IAsrU LOL
