Great memories. It went by so fast - wish I could spend more time with many more people.

What year/model Cat is this for? Wonder if it'll fit my 85 chassis. I have no idea what a fair price is for that... If you find it and I can afford it, I'll be interested. At the moment tracking down all the little R1 parts is kicking my ass.

are you selling the cowl too?

no longer my car :sadangel:, but it's Arya's, and here are the numbers before I put long tubes headers on... I figure another 30 horses are to be found with the headers. http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/20070104_085316_Dyno2.jpg

'99 Miata here, lovin' it so far. I do miss the punch of the vette / rotus though. Wish it had another 50 horses to make it a little more fun, but not willing to mod it.

Adding 10 hp at a time is over-rated anyway. When you are ready, add 50 at a time. First test drive will be much more rewarding

Maybe it's because Caterham is getting some more name recognition these days with the recent news related to the Lotus deal.

:lol: It's whoever is logged in on YOUR computer. so, for me, it's me

he's an azz. don't mind him

Looking forward to the pics

So beautiful, simple, unassuming, fun. Congrats.

Perfect Skip. Just what I needed. Thank you. BTW, this little tool is handy: http://ostermiller.org/calc/triangle.html pattern radius is 25mm. I'll try it on the CNC router and see how it works out

1. What's the 3 bolt pattern on the steering wheel holes? i.e. what's the diameter of the hole pattern? 2. Anyone have a picture of the 2 bushing supports for the upper steering column? One bushing is right on the lower dash tube... looking for what the other one looks like. Thanks.

But the Z06 is just a tad slower. 7:22 http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/23/2012-chevrolet-corvette-z06-laps-the-ring-in-7-22-68-shaves-20/#continued It "only" reached 170 where ZR1 peaked at 183. As I was watching it, I'd look at the speed through some of the moderate corners and realize the guy is doing 140. Yikes!

Thanks for taking the time to post the pics and descriptions :thumbs:

LOL Kiwi... Wife worked night shift the Mon night and Tuesday night. Fiddling with her, or the girlfriend might have gone badly last night.:jester:

that I have not gone to the garage to fiddle with the car definitely hoping delivery of the engine will give me a boost in energy.

Beautiful.

He should've gone all "Stig" and put on some classical music or german language audio.

breaking 7 would be pretty difficult. Only because large balls required to drive that fast are quite heavy and drag down the power to weight ratio.

Each variant has its own charm. I got a ride in Mopho's Orange, and was really impressed with how nimble the car was through the canyon roads he took me on. I'm pretty sure I would not have been able to keep up with him in those roads in Frankn7. On the other hand, when the road just opens up a little bit, like the really twisty mountain roads we have through the blueridge with lots of elevation change, I'm just as easily convinced a run of the mill 4 banger will simply get walked. And yes, it IS LOTS of fun to have the car absolutely plant you in your seat as it rockets from corner to corner, excellent brakes to slow you down, and enough tires to carry speed through corners. Where my car suffered was on bumpy roads - that was the most significant difference I noticed riding mofo's car. And that was not really because of the V8, more so due to compromises I made in wheel/tire size, brakes, etc... I'll report back on how the opposite end of the spectrum works out, but will always have a soft spot for the absolute rockets that V8 sevens are.
