If it were close to me I would buy it, slap in a WRX engine and finish it out for a street car. It would make a great winter project.

At $80 a pop on Amazon I'll pass on this one.

The Israelis and Arabs realized that, if they continued fighting, they would someday end up destroying the whole world, so they decided to settle their dispute with an ancient practice: a duel of two, like David and Goliath. This "duel" would be a dog fight. The negotiators agreed each side would take 5 years to develop the best fighting dog they could. The dog that won the fight would earn its people the right to rule the disputed areas. The losing side would have to lay down its arms for good. The Arabs found the biggest, meanest Dobermans and Rottweilers in the world. They bred them together and then crossed their offspring with the meanest Siberian wolves. They selected only the biggest, strongest puppy of each litter, fed it the best food and killed all the other puppies. They used steroids and trainers in their quest for the perfect killing machine. After the 5 years were up, they had a dog that needed steel prison bars on its cage. Only expert trainers could handle this incredibly nasty and ferocious beast. When the day of the big dog-fight finally arrived, the Israelis showed up with a very strange-looking animal, a Dachshund that was 10 feet long! Everyone at the dogfight arena felt sorry for the Israelis. No one there seriously thought this weird, odd-looking animal stood any chance against the growling beast over in the Arab camp. All the bookies took one look and predicted that the Arab dog would win in less than a minute. As the cages were opened, the Dachshund slowly waddled toward the center of the ring.The Arab dog leaped from its cage and charged the giant wiener-dog. As he got to within an inch of the Israeli dog, the Dachshund opened its jaws and swallowed the Arab beast whole in one bite. There was nothing left but a small puff of fur from the Arab killer dog's tail floating to the ground. The stunned crowd of international observers, bookies and media personnel let out a collective gasp of disbelief and surprise. The Arabs approached the Israelis, muttering and shaking their heads in disbelief. "We do not understand," said their leader, "Our top scientists and breeders worked for 5 long years with the meanest, biggest Dobermans, Rottweiler and Siberian wolves, and they developed an incredible killing machine of a dog!" The Israelis replied. "Well, for 5 years, we have had a team of Jewish plastic surgeons from Boca Raton working to make an alligator look like a Dachshund."

This came with my car but didn't work with the Miata engine/turbo. Never installed. Caterham wanted $1,300 for one the last time I checked. Cut off the collector and it should fit most any Se7en. Make me a reasonable offer. Overall length - 46" Collector face to cat converter weld - 8 3/4" Cat converter - 10" Muffler - 21 " Exit pipe - 6 1/4" Diameter - 5" Exit pipe OD - 2" Collector to cat pipe OD - 2 1/4" Collector face - 4 1/3 x 4 1/4" Weight - 20 lb

Its a Lola Mark 7...:jester:

On her first day at the senior complex, the new manager addressed all the seniors pointing out some of her rules: "The female sleeping quarters will be out-of-bounds for all males, and the male dormitory to the females. Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time." She continued, "Anybody caught breaking this rule the second time will be fined $60. Being caught a third time will cost you a fine of $180. Are there any questions?" At this point, an older gentleman stood up in the crowd and inquired: "How much for a season pass?”

Are you putting an LSx engine in Franknplane7a? :jester:

Great news. How do you like the car after that long first drive?

At the bottom of the ad it says to call and ask for Ron.

I got a voice mail from Scott about 1:20 PM. They have the car and are headed east to get ahead of an approaching storm.

Auto parts stores and ACE hardware stores usually have a selection of springs you might check out. Farm supply stores also have them.

PM sent.

I have an SV you can get a ride in and maybe drive. I'm located in Erie, about 25 minutes North of Denver. I'm contemplating selling the car if you are interested. There's a link in my sig below to some pictures.

Yes but use a half hood/bikini top to keep some air flow through the cockpit. With full top and side curtains it will get unbearably hot inside unless someone has installed air conditioning. An alternative would be the full top with one or both side curtains off the car. Drink lots of water. I drove my Se7en from Denver to St. George, UT a couple of years ago in August in 105F temps with the bikini top and side curtains. Most of the time the passenger side curtain was on and the driver's side off. It was hot but not unbearable. I arrived in good condition.

That's not an unusual occurrence. Do you notice a significant increase in power now that you have de-seeded your intake?

As bad as that part looks inside I think you need to do some serious cooling system flushing. If the water jackets have that much rust on them heat transfer is going to be badly affected.

Go over all the suspension, brake and drive train mounting bolts and check to see they are torqued to spec. I do this every 4k miles or so and often find bolts that have loosened a bit.

What Alfonse said +1.

Hotttcar, That is one wild looking hard top on your car. Can it be driven Targa style? Did you make it yourself? http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=23739

A Cajun walks into a bar with a pet alligator by his side. He puts the alligator up on the bar. He turns to the astonished patrons. 'I'll make you a deal. I'll open this alligator's mouth and place my manhood inside. Then the gator will close his mouth for one minute. Then he'll open his mouth and I'll remove my unit unscathed. In return for witnessing this spectacle, each of you will buy me a drink'. The crowd murmured their approval. The man stood up on the bar, dropped his trousers, and placed his Willie and related parts in the alligator's open mouth. The gator closed his mouth, the crowd gasped. After a minute, the man grabbed a beer bottle and smacked the alligator hard on the top of its head. The gator opened his mouth and the man removed his genitals unscathed as promised. The crowd cheered, and the first of his free drinks was delivered. The man stood up again and made another offer. 'I'll pay anyone $100 who's willing to give it a try.' A hush fell over the crowd. After a while, a hand went up in the back of the bar. A blonde woman timidly spoke up: 'I'll try it - just don't hit me so hard with the beer bottle!'

Although I really like the Testarossa when I got a ride in one on the track I found my helmet wedged between the headliner and the headrest and I am not a tall person. It was not a pleasant experience.

How many kids do you think they can pack into it?

Sorry, no drawing. I took the car and one of the Miata wheels and tire to a machine shop and between us we figured out how thick the adapters needed to be. The bolt circles were known and a few days and IIRC about $200 later I had the set.

I will be checking the ears before I drive my Caterham again, thanks for the heads up.
