http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1434218238_aedf.jpg This is mine. Its more like driving a 7 than a bike.:bigears:

maz: except for the 2 minutes that wash played it was a 35/0 game.

Loren: Their called reverse trikes. I've posted a few links. http://reversetrike.com/v-twin-roadstercycle.html http://reversetrike.com/trirod.html http://reversetrike.com/kamikaze.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDOcKtRF2s0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjE4x0T6Ioc I have a busa motor and most of the other parts to put one together. I want to start on it when the 7 is sorted out.

Loren: try this one.http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/173910902_Adrenaline10.jpg

Harold: This is why the US is so great!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.jibjab.com/view/109788

Mazda: The weather man says that it will be 28 deg @ 7:00 am in Vienna with no wind, so bring a heavy coat so that we can humor anybody that drives an open kitcar in the morning.

I'm beginning to believe that it's impossible to stay ahead of you! Maybe I can win in traction control or active suspension.

What are you going to do when we get lost in West Virginia?

Seth: The total weight of my 7, full of gas is only 1131 lbs. I don't think that my intake is much lighter than the stock one that you are using. I'm probably saving 20 lbs or so on the exhaust manifold. I should be ready for the dyno by March. (Hoping for over 550 hp) SR20DET Motor 375# (I know it is heavy for an all aluminum block, but the turbo and manifold weigh 32 lbs alone and the Crank weighs a bit over 35lbs!!- more than some v-8s, but how else would you expect a stock bottom end to take 600 horsies?) Trans (5spd) 90# total 470#

Harold; You're less than an hour from the Vienna Inn. If we start having monthly Blats there guys could exchange things there. I'll be there this Saturday.

I've been trying to get my car painted. The body man started today so will not have the opportunity to drive it this Saturday. Am I wimping out? :iagree: :iagree: :iagree: http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1180705658_147 seven body work.JPG

This is a Lotus concept car.http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/2024702634_Project1.jpg

Mazda: Are you keeping the MobileVu display in the dash?

I have an engine stand in Springfield, Va that you can use>

Mazda: What's the skinny on the display? :d :d

If you had a choice when driving @ 25 deg in a 7 with just a windshield, would you rather drive 70 and just get it over, or drive @ 45 and take more time? I get cold just thinking about either!

The forcast for 7:00am is 25deg and sunny!:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Mazda: From what my neighbor says it's low key, just a bunch of kit car nuts talking about you know what! Some people get there as early as 7:00 am in the summer. You need to go inside by 8:45 to get a seat in the nut room. This first visit I think should just get the lay of the land. Think coffee, bacon, eggs, etc :blueangel:

Let's start the year off with an informal Blat to the Vienna Inn on RT123 in Vienna, VA at 7:45 AM. Drive your 7 if you can stand the cold or just come if not. This is the scheduled Saturday date and time of the Cobra Club in NVA. Lets see if we can get enough people together to start a monthly or bimonthly get together. I will either be driving my 7 or riding with my neighbor that has a Cobra. Directions @ www.viennainn.com You can contact me @ work @ 571-322-7777. :cheers:

I do not know how this topic is going to end, but I'm going post an observation. Even airplanes are glued together with the availability of modern techniques. In many cases they absorb vibration that would be destructive if they were not used. If proper preparation and application techniques were used I would prefer it. Do a search on polyetherimide. I would not use plastic zip ties! :)

Mazda/Al: Thanks for helping to make 2007 one of the best years in my life! http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/96108754_IMG_0018.JPG

Jeff: Tysons Corner is about 20 miles from Mazda and me. Could we pick a resturant in that area and meet one night? I'm willing to buy the first round. E me @ BobDrye@GermanSwedishAuto.com for my cell #. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Mazda: I connected the Mobile Vu Display today and it works. The picture is not centered on the screen though. The disk with the drivers that they sent me with the display is correpted. Do you have a set of drivers for the 10" display? If you can e them to BobDrye@GermanSwedishAuto.com Check out the current price on Ebay ($300.00) :banghead:

Gary: I know Linwood, and saying that real perfectionist is quite an understatement. He too lives on Mason Neck. What part of Fairfax Station do you live? It sounds like your 10-15 minutes away from my house. My shop is on Backlick Road 2 blocks south of Pallone Chevrolet in the same building with Total Auto Parts (571-322-7777). When you have time call so that we can chat. :cheers:
