A brain goes into a bar and says to the bartender, "I'll have a beer, please." The bartender says, "Sorry, I can't serve you. You're out of your head." :cheers:

A dyslexic guy walks into a bra...

Welcome aboard! :cheers:

Our county dump has a scale for weighing vehicles in/out. Not sure how much metal scrap or yard debris you can take in a Seven.

Okay, I'm not trying to yank anybody's chain. $3,600. Thought it was worth sharing. Can't wait 'till those boxes arrive in Phili!!!:cheers:

This is the scariest thread ever. :_deadhorse:

Mazda, Could you please PM your cell number? In case I get to go at the last minute, I will call. I have some time off that week. Harold

Just got the quote to ship via air freight a Caterham from England to Philadelphia. What do you think it costs?

Thanks, Flibbie! You're number one! Train arrived today!!! :hurray:

Normally the build would have been December for an August order. Assuming the build starts in mid-late September, it takes about two weeks to build the car, and another 1-2 weeks to pack and ship it. Then the time varies depending on whether it goes air or boat across the pond. So I'm looking at sometime in later October or early December, if I had to guess.

The factory is offering me a September build date! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :hurray: :flag: That 'bout means I'm definately OUT for the September BLAT. :nonod:

Bump. Please post pictures for those who likey to see.:flag:

You guys are killing me. I will ask Mommy. Now I have to decide whether to show up in the Elise, or bring the 4Runner full of engine parts.

According to Caterham USA there is no manual. :cuss: (I haven't given up, but I will have to look elsewhere.)

Cherik's reply is almost like a manual. :cheers: I've seen the www.thecaterhamproject.com but did not see details on the engine piece. Will look again. Thanks, Mazda for the engine lift offer. Will take you up on it, probably over the winter. I really appreciate every response. I have decided to hold still until I accumulate the information. I guess the manual I want to find is the the UK Ford Sierra, right? The Ford Contour/Mystique looks like a FWD horizontal mounting. So it would not be as helpful, right?

Thanks. Does anyone know of a manual that would apply?

Thanks. Someone on BlatChat quoted "the book" as saying "Flywheel/drive plate bolts" 110-112nm or 81-83lbf ft I don't know what book it is. I have never seen or heard of a manual for this.

I'm just getting started and I'm already over my head. I have very little mechanic experience, and I decided to assemble a Seven because I could follow the manual and ask for advice along the way. Unfortunately I have all the parts for the drivetrain and no manual. :ack: So my question is: In what sequence do I put these together? Engine Flywheel Clutch Pressure Plate & Disk Bellhousing Gearbox (It's the 2.0 LTR Zetec and 5-speed Sierra transmission.) I would guess that the flywheel bolts to the crankshaft, but then what? :crazy: Maybe I should be looking for a book? Would I be able to Google and find enough information on this? I tried BlatChat but didn't find it right away.

Cool beans. Email sent. Harold :hurray:

I want it, but Rob gets to go first.

Wow man! Glad you're okay. That must have been a couple scarey seconds there across the sand. Hope you can rebuild. See a doctor if you haven't. :cheers:

Here is the Caterham Life download page http://www.caterham.co.uk/assets/html/download.html

If Rob doesn't want it, I have a three-year old who'll take it off your hands. :hurray: Harold

I tried to build a rowboat using plans from the Internet. Me and fibreglass work did not get along. :banghead:
