BusaNostra

Ok I weight in at 138 lbs, anyone would like to challenge my power to weight ratio? + or - between 135 to 138 lbs (if I visit the toilet throne).

Hank--->Sorry to hear this. I know the gripes, been there done that. Before I build my Westfield I researched the DMV laws and regulations. I comformed to all areas that will give me a problem during the inspection. You should have followed the sequence and put less value on dress up parts like the aeroscreen. You should have bought the Westfield windshield that is very easy to mount and to disassemble. I can assemble and disassemble my windshield in an hour. After you pass, you can put your aeroscreen. I had an aeroscreen too but elected to put the windshield back. Still have kids in college, worry to get blind. Aeroscreen looks a gunfighter, I'm worried on the 22 cal on the other side. I can wear a helmet too but look chessy to play race car driver in public. Call Westfield and buy the windshield and the wiper..there is no way around. Just do it.

My priority is dependability. Dry sump is good but another unit to worry & to breakdown. Make it simple "stupid" approach.

Hank----I did the same thing to my hayabusa turbo wiring (Westfield of course). I placed the ECU under the passenger area. Yes, you need to extend the wires to reach the projected area. Took me night and day to accomplish the job. Buy a couple of 18ga wires (diff colors) & bunch of butt connectors. The first step I did was to unwrapped the Busa stock harness. Identify which wire or sensor wires that needs to be extended. You have do it carefully and accurately. Never cut more than two wires. "Cut, extend, solder & label" You will make it, its just tidious.

Here is mine!!

the car show is over!

---replace your engine with HOnda S2000 and be happy.

When Chapman left, he didn't know rabbits were taking fertility pills. Confuse which 7? :lol:

Warren is your car I saw in Connecticut.? Zetec with individual throttle bodies service by the garage xx-tuning?

Here is another Zero 1 made in England http://www.kitpartsdirect.com/page40.htm

Remember this car? Zero-1 by an excellent builder Mitsuoka. Ugly like Florida GAR fish. But ahead in it's time -- 1.8 Mazda engine - Japanese dependable wiring - Hey, airbag equip..where do you find that?

I'm sure you already browsed and read this http://www.dmv.org/ma-massachusetts/custom-built-cars.php

Wondering if there was a seven type cars that runs in 24 hours Daytona, Sebring, Le mans or other big racing events? I'm expecting to see Westfield/Caterham due to their good financial health. In the future maybe???

Manik---is that Vauxhall engine? 2.0 or 1.8 The good thing with Westfield, they are in constant change and upgrades.

I don't know if this can be adapted http://www.truechoice.com/prodinfo.asp?number=WIN%209151 But $20. bucks ? A little bit more research, u probably can find the same size in cheaper price.

My lotus Esprit V8 has the same system. I think the same thing to the 4cyl Esprit & Elises. Call Jae Lotus talk to the owner Jeff 805-967-5767 The unit part number is 89V6141 called Lumbar support inflatable. if expensive, find a used Elise seat---seen some in ebay, reasonable prices.

One reason I did not participated in showing my seven. I know one or two members will make it a very big deal...of nothing. Yours & my clone 7 is a kit car man! Worse enough, this site was too limited, resticted & no fun at all. We are here to have fun not to wrestle with stupid legal stuff. Why baited everyone to publish their 7 pictures then tell everyone after, there are legal zhyte ? Where is the fun & peace of mind?:cuss:

Did you pass AL GORE's house? Your seven was listed an inconvenient truth in his book...you shouldn't be driving in winter while the temperature is summer. You giving him lot's of fraud ammo.

Fedex has a department for big bulk item like the engine. I don't know the name of the department but you can ask them. Year ago, I bought an engine in Alabama. I called the fedex and they dispatched a truck with forklift. They put the engine in the crate and sent it to me. I gave them my Visa card and that's it!

Well, enough of the seven for now. If I need to prolong my marriage and drive a 7 on summer, I need to upgrade the bathroom. Wifey is mad now!! So, the mechanical upgrade is the toilet flush mechanism that was leaking fo so long!!

Before I went to England, I contacted Westfield. I wired half of the money before I travelled. When I got there, I paid the whole amount. I didn't pay any VAT. The original order was from the U.S.A. There are so many things you can do to avoid this and that.

I went to England and bought my Westfield. They boxed and shipped in the US without engine and tranny. Declared auto parts. Picked it, paid the custom & build the car. I met the requirement...boooom, I got my registration. I guess it depends upon many scenarios. Commerical, personal, industrial use or kits??? You name it, read the bible book of the custom. Too many interpretations. Just like what you said, you think you are right & arguing for 4 years, you think the EPA is clueless?

If I am not mistaken (someone can correct me), you can import any car in the world, bring to the US, but does not mean you will be able to register until you meet EPA, DOT or U.S. safety standards. Just like buying a kit car or clone.....you know how hard to register this sucker? My car registration probaly up the value of my clone. My clone itself has no value...hahaha!

Some people just don't fool around. If they like it "buy it". My type !!! Tomorrow, I'm dead anyway. Might as well..... Congratulation Chet!!
