some of my older stuff... first drive with the LS1 - but with tiny 225 tires. first drive with LS1 with head/cam upgrade

Here you go. Had my son record this 10 minutes ago - just coming into the driveway, but you can still crank up the sound.

he got it all wrong. he needs to get 2 women drunk to take him home. and that's gonna take more alcohol than the new orleans beer looter could carry http://www.myspaceantics.com/images/funny/katrina-beer-loot.jpg

I have a hood now

In a strange way, this reminds me of Frankn7 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/eb/Wrong_Way_Corrigan.jpg

Box, didn't you break off a sensor at 7/7/7? Is your sensor mounted upside down? or on the lower half of the exhaust? i think there is a known issue for sensors collecting water in that position - causing premature failure.

there was a gullwing Merc, and a mid year Vette in there that did not look that bad. I'd start with those 2

wasn't hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the doctor a better idea about her hearing loss. Here's what you do," said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feet away from her and, in a normal speaking tone, see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response." That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens." Then, in a normal tone he asks, "Honey, what's for dinner?" No response. So the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Still no response. Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again he gets no response. So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. . . "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again there is no response. So he walks right up behind her . . . "Honey, what's for dinner?" "Ray, for THE FIFTH time, CHICKEN!"

have a good stiff drink to get over the empty spot congrats to the new owner.

which version? :lolg: Hank, I really don't have many pictures. I've been meaning to do that, but the car is never "done".

I ran the 625 with my LS1 for a year or two. Cranking over wasn't a problem. Just not much capacity if you leave any accessories on.

Saturday is the only day worth going... everybody is packing up sunday. I just paid for the tent. As of right now, I have to find babysitting, but I plan to be there again this year.

y'all know I did

equals a few car alarms going off :banghead: I didn't mean to go in there, but there was no place else to park. I was intentionally keeping the revs really low (around 1000 rpm) and light on the throttle, but 2 cars still went off. I will cross that off the list of places I can go. I'm sure it's very annoying for the folks whose alarms went off.

different body "styles"... yes there are. Sevens are somewhat of a Mr Potato Head of cars. You can buy a car with clamshells (the long swoopy fenders)and switch to cycle fenders. In terms of the general look, most look like a variation of the Series 2 or Series 3 Lotus 7. Like the Caterham Superlight you were looking at. The variants that look the most different are the WCM Ultralite, and the Stalker, which has a one piece nose / hood. IMO the most important consideration is being able to fit in the car - specifically foot room to operate the pedals. Then you can narrow down your choices.

welcome aboard. S2 with Zetec will make a very classy and capable combo. as for becoming a paid member, you can do so by clicking on UserCP, then scrolling down and clicking "Paid Subscriptions".

neversatisfied, I'm definitely in the power camp, but got a ride in Mopho's Caterham a while back on some canyon roads outside of LA... I had to ask him to take it easy. Wicked fun on 200 horses.

I only knew of the one with the LS3. Invite 'em over here.

We have several members with bike engined setups... off the top of my head: Andrew7 has a Yahama setup Hank has a hayabusa BusaLoco Jeff (R1Seven?) OttoCycle has a hayabusa powered Fisher Fury I think Locost 5.0 and I are the only V8's on here. Completely different feel to the cars (bike to 4 cylinder, to V6/V8). If you plan to enjoy the car on the street as opposed to heavy road racing / autox focus, I think a car engined setup is more practical (personal opinion).

Most of the cars here are street legal. and the difference between the street legal ones and dedicated track cars aren't that much... mostly DOT stuff (lights, tires, etc...) and roll cage.

33 pages... do you have the cliff notes?

Sweeeet!

welcome aboard. I'm 99c5vert on corvetteforum First order of business is to get a ride in a few of these cars. I don't know who lives near you with a Seven. If you can spare the time to come out to Carlisle kit car show, I'm pretty sure we will have at least one Stalker, one Ultralite, and one Caterham Superlight, as well as a Birkin and a couple of other variants of the Caterhams around, and I'm sure you can get a ride in all of them if you can fit. If you are looking for the roomier cars, you'd want to check out the Stalker (standard 3800 V6 GM motor or SC verison of the same), WCM Ultralite (S2000 drivetrain), or Caterham SV (usually Ford 4 cylinder drivetrain). Caterham SV is their wider and longer chassis. I know there is at least one Stalker with a LS1 in it. I'm not sure what was involved in that conversion. Get a ride in as many as you can. All these cars have their own personality.

and what mods have you done to your seven lately? she is looking.... different :bigears:

You catch on quick DB6. Yes, you are allowed to say nice things, and not bad things. I'll leave your post here, but you... Bye.
