hello, I was totally oblivious to this thread i thought people were ignoring me when i posted the same thing in the regional section. first off id like to say that this is the first time ive had a chance to meet se7en people in person and it was great. everyone is very friendly and helpful to each other. i would like to thank Tom for letting me be a passenger (ballast) in his car during his second run, this will be something to remember. the S1 driven by steve was AMAZING build quality, definitely something to strive for as my se7en reaches closer for its second birth. i also got a chance to see lances old car, the 40th aniv and it was stunning, especially for its age. here is an album with pictures from the event, sorry im not a photographer. http://www.hostdub.com/GotEuroCorrado_album07 for those to lazy to click here are the highlights http://www.hostdub.com/albums/GotEuroCorrado_album07/CIMG1118.sized.jpg http://www.hostdub.com/albums/GotEuroCorrado_album07/CIMG1121.sized.jpg http://www.hostdub.com/albums/GotEuroCorrado_album07/CIMG1102.sized.jpg http://www.hostdub.com/albums/GotEuroCorrado_album07/CIMG1127.sized.jpg

if anyone wants to try one of these "braille" batteries i can supply a unbranded version (same battery, minus the sticker) for $140

I have personally used braille before many times on my 6 cyl vr6 motors and haven't had any problems. you will run into issues if you constantly leave the fan on or lights on and kill the battery a few times though. i have a supplier that offers unbranded braille batteries in the 11.4 and 15lb version as well as mounting brackets for both. i can offer them at $140 per battery plus $7 ship anywhere in the 48 states. let me know if your interested.

i have a hookup for Braille batteries so if a few of you guys want to get in on a deal i could put a package together. i can also offer battery mounts specifically made to fit this battery. prices for the battery are below $180

scouting ebay i found this odd little number http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Replica-Kit-Makes-LOTUS-7-LOTUS-KIT-CAR-BLACK-HONDA-BLACKBIRD-1100-CC-17-WHEEL_W0QQitemZ270173862153QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item270173862153

looks like the color i was going to paint my corrado, off of a volvo v70r.

i spoke to ken at oracle tuning and he said the coolant system is fine. the wiring harness will be coming out soon as the car is road worthy.

yes, the fuel system is on it way out i will be installing the oem harness and ecu then i will look into a little turbo action ... gota catch you s2k guys somehow Roman

I'm sure most of you have seen me in the forums these past few weeks looking for a 7. thanks to the help of member tnttim i was tipped off to a wcm ultralite on ebay. I purchased and had the car shipped to me in PA. My first impression was the lack of words. the quality of the build was waaaaaaaaaaaay higher then expected. I found performance items i did not know about, dampening adjustable coilovers, willwood knuckles, 12" floating rotors front and back (still don't know why), as well as the LSD rear diff. the downside was that the car seems to have never been driven. i was told it has 10 miles on it but the odo reads 1, and has no been calibrated , there is also a leak in one of the brake fittings cause NO front brakes, no ebrake ( cable not hooked up or way out of adjustment), sds engine management that cant control the vvt option in the motor, and the car generally feels a bit loose. to fix this all I'm doing a one over on the car before i do a lot of driving (yes i fixed the bakes before i drove it). in all im VERY VERY VERY happy with the car. the issues it has are MINOR and will be sorted soon. i will post up pics in a little bit

hello all, i had my wcm ultralite delivered just over a week ago. i love driving it and what not but its damn hard switching lanes with no mirrors... no rear or side view. ive seen options for bolt on mirrors where i would cut into the hood and i would use that route as a last resort. my problem is that i don't have a full front glass, just the two little wind screens. i don't want to be punching holes in the car that i would take away strength in the future. so my question is this, can i get CLIP/CLAMP on mirrors? i would like to attach them to the hood of the car where it closes over the dash. i have about 2 inches on each side. i have only been able to locate bike mirrors which clamp on in a different fashion so im coming to you all for help. thanks in advance, and ill post a pic of the dash/car tomorrow.

my ultralite does not have that fancy "7" grill ... wonder where you can get one.

im new but im a philly local. im in hatboro.

hay guys, i did in fact purchase the ultralite and i will be taking delivery this tues/wed. ive already contacted all those who have worked on the car to get the "skinny" on its history as well as ken hill at Oracle Tuning. ill be shwoing him the car and moving forward from there. Roman

i actually got a wcm ultralite, but i do look forward to meeting you guys in person.

i just sent away money wcm ultralite yesterday.

while i dont think ill be able to make it out to the runngun i would like to see some video and pics from the event please!! also the link does not work :banghead:

so i have begum watching this place daily but im still a lil lost on the lingo. what are the following: frappr blat any other lingo you guys use please post up for the newbie Thanks in advance.

sounds good to me! im new here and a youngin as well (24). comming from the vw side of things i know what you mean. my vw backround is with the old school, mk2/mk3/corrado vr6 and vr6turbo. we know how to build up our cars by hand. good luck with your locost

thanks for the heads up, im now broke as a joke!

just called in to ask the normal q's. says the quality is below cat, west, birk and a few other. it is a solid runner and he thinks its got about 175 hp. things that were a turnoff were fuel that needs to be premixed with oil, no covers/weather gear, poor interior build quality. on the other hand the price is right. myself being unfamiliar with these cars i think i will stick to a more common brand in case i need parts or assistance. Roman

everything can be made to work, but the cost and performance may not be worth it.

if im not mistaken the gti motor your talking about is actually a 1.8T not a 2.0L turbo unless they pulled it out of a mk5 (current generation) gti. as for the vr6 motor... i was in schimmel performance yesterday asking about doing this. he would be the guy to make it happen and he shot me down after seeing locost chassy pics. this was comming from guy who put a 24v vr6 biturbo rear engine corrado together as well a as having his own porsche 1987 with 1993 911 rear end. a few months ago we had a corrado roll through the shop to get tuned that had a rear wheel drive conversion and it was fairly complex. here is its buildup http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2583054

The company i hold the warehouse for is TmTuning.com. as for driving skills i am very limited. my experiance extends to back roads and the auto x i do is usually avoiding deer at dusk
