  1. I believe the 2006 and later Honda S2000s use a returnless fuel system. I changed to an exterior fuel pump after my "little fire" incident in which I must of pushed some wires around when I had my arm in the tank reconnecting the fuel line. The spark created a mini fireball but luckily I was able to suffocate it by replacing the access panel... and the hair on my arm did grow back;) ).
  2. Nice elevation changes... though lots of walls too
  3. might want to search around, this was a good thread http://usa7s.net/vb/showthread.php?t=1697&highlight=custom+trailer
  4. Here's some inspiration (and costs) http://www.gizmag.com/go/5828/ http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2176715
  5. I'd like to see your adjustable steering set up
  6. I wonder if your sunshades, on top of the windshield help as well. I wanted to do that but I have that 7 mirror across the top (don't need side mirrors with it).
  7. Probably don't get much larger (has fenderless version)... body & chassis - 20 grand http://decorides.com/foosebt.htm
  8. Brian had CF hood as an option...
  9. MoPho, Did you tell him not to lean on the windshield;)

    rapist alert

    When no mean no Actually this is to alert rapists.... would be nice for them to think twice if this was out there http://inhabitat.com/2010/06/21/african-doctor-invents-female-condom-with-teeth-to-fight-sex-assault/#ixzz0ro0hywZk I know some fathers that would wish there was a way to have their teenage daughter wear it;)
  11. hmmm
  12. Funny, on my everlasting search for rattles I just noticed last week that same header pipes touching the frame and am having a dimple put in it. All the other pipes are well clear. I've also had a bracket welded on the the rear of the muffler that bolts (rubber spacers) to the frame under the seat so it just doesn't hang there.
  13. That's great news! I couldn't think of a better person to take over. Anything I can do on the west coast, let me know.
  14. The main advantage to black is I can use a black sharpie pen to fill rock chips;)
  15. Sad to hear this... you taking a break from 7s or just too many irons in the fire... you got like 13 different jobs;)
  16. How do you get a one-piece header to go around that one section of frame tubing? Do they all go over it?
  17. Looks like a fun track
  18. I like WHTISIT... we all get asked that all the time
  19. It was my second choice mainly because I like the honda engine. I'd take a Birkin over a Caterham due to the price... it's hard to tell the difference between the two and pedigree is not that important to me. The good thing about owning a Caterham is the strong member association... they tend to be a larger, tighter group than most (though very friendly and helpful to other 7 clone owners as well). Don't want to start a pissing contest... just my two cents.
  20. Bster, Birkin was my 2nd choice... due to it being a bit more civilized for touring capabilities. Looks pretty sweet. And consider this... if it's not to your liking I'm sure you would lose very little money reselling it. PS - I don't know Dan, just trying to get Bstr into the 7 fraternity
  21. Who ever came up with that ad ought to get a raise
  22. I always find it funny how the more custom/detail that goes into a car the more we seem to nitpik it. Especially if it's more of a show piece than a driver. Somebody takes a clunker and cleans it up and we say "great job!" but when someone goes all out we say "nice except...". I think it's because we assume the owner just pimped it out to some shop and wasn't involved. Or we can't help but comment in the vein of "if I had that much money I'd of done X different". Must be human nature cause I see it on other car/bike sites as well. PS - I've been guilty of it too;)
  23. I have to agree with Mopho. I actually like my 7 over my previous sportbike because most the fun is under 3 digit speeds. It was too easy to just nail the throttle and get to silly speeds on the bike... though I do miss the ability to pass cars quickly and split lanes. The biggest difference I notice is the faster you go on a sportbike, the more stable it becomes. Pretty intoxicating in it's own right. But I don't miss the sudden fear of coming around a corner, knee close to the ground, and finding a patch of dirt that's been kicked up right in your line. Or a car cutting into your lane (which may be a bigger problem with the 7).
  24. There's always Kevin's solution
  25. Congrats! I here Texas is easier than most states... I'm sure someone from there will chime in soon. Farmers Insurance got me a 3rd party insurer for daily use and still under my umbrella (have everything with them). It was kind of expensive for the little I drove so changed to Hagerty. I have a generic style car cover from Pep Boys that I use in the garage. It's not form fitting so probably not good for outside (with any wind). Powderbrake, you never cease to amaze me with the cool stuff (tonneau)
