  2. the rest of you may find this boring... assembly of the new ZR-1 http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1612773635 a top speed run... pay attention to the red LED display in the middle of the console. http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1519707894&channel=335994200
  3. Just add 4 more cylinders and call it a day
  4. No need to lock the thread as long as the discussion stays civil and rational. :thumbs:
  5. WHAT?!! "MOST" of your money?
  6. http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/06/18/driving.cutbacks/index.html hmmm... so Mary Peters claims despite people driving less and using more mass transit, the traffic situation will continue to worsen and we will need more tax revenue. I wonder which "History" of sustained vehicle miles traveled she is referring to. 70's perhaps?? I'm sure the solution is always to raise taxes.
  7. I'm in need of a pair of mufflers for mine. I'm currently planning to go with auger style mufflers. Open headers do sound nice though :reddevil:
  8. That's how the project seems in my head, before I actually start. I allow a week for completion :lol:
  9. Originally posted by Jim F Hello, All; I'd like some input from those of you who have experience with the Avon ZV1 185/60R14 tires that came standard on my car. I haven't seen any comments on this tire since joining 10/07. The car is an '03 wide-track DeDion Roadsport w/LSD & was Caterham dealer built. From day one it hasn't wanted to track straight on the freeway at speed or on "spirited" county road drives. Before I start investigating the "squirreliness" for a solution, I thought you experienced driver/owners would have some informative comments/suggestions/observations. Tire pressures are set at 20 psi all around, and the car seems to have a bit of oversteer on both right and left hand tight corners. My previous two Sevens ('61 109E Lotus & '79 BDA Caterham) were very neutral handling, but then not as technologically engineered and sophisticated as my current Caterham. Could it also be that I haven't really "scrubbed" the tires in yet and the tread is taking more bite or grip? Thanks in advance for your comments!!!!!!!!!!
  10. slngsht? That's the crazy dude with a V8 seven
  11. Beautiful area. Wish I was out there with a running seven
  12. Welcome aboard. Looking forward to seeing your car being born
  13. you made it back from first outing under your own power... that's a good day
  14. There is no chance my 8 year old will get anywhere near something like that :lol:
  15. I agree with the diagnosis, but not sure what options you have for curing it. You may have to go to a different design ring that is lighter, or a tighter piston to cylinder clearance... best to ask an engine builder with specific Zetec knowledge. I know LS1's had ring flutter related oil consumption only during high rpm, light load (like 4K+ RPM with part throttle). Ultimately, GM went with a different piston design and modified the 2nd ring sealing surfaces to cure it.
  16. Great vid. She looked like a handful at times. Love the Odyssey. Only a crazy gear head would run a minivan in this type of event :thumbs:
  17. Thank you!!! Had bagels and coffee in bed this morning :thumbs:
  18. I will reserve comments until the other side chimes in
