I had a rear exit on mine until last month. The exhaust fumes were a problem and that is why I changed it to a side exit. The two rear pipes are factory Caterham units connected by a splitter to a 3" system from the turbo to the back of the muffler. Shortly after this picture was taken I reworked the pipes to raise them closer to the rear body panel. I've never seen a Se7en with a side exit behind the rear wheel. http://www.britishv8.org/Other/SkipCannon/SkipCannon-F.jpg

I'd be up for a copy of the photo as well. It was the wallpaper on my monitor until recently.

Is that the picture of Mr Orange moving fast against a dark background and the driver wearing a black helmet and a bit of flame out of the exhaust pipe?

Next 40 Caterham orders to get special treatment, regardless of model http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=27688&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=html&utm_campaign=2013-5-9

I hope this one lasts a bit longer. What brand and model did you use?

Due to several long trips planned in the Caterham this summer I decided to install an aftermarket Cruise Control. I used the Rostra 250-1223 all electronic kit as it uses a stepper motor instead of vacuum to pull the throttle open. Much more friendly to a turbo engine which tends to run out of vacuum as the boost comes on on long hills resulting in the car slowing down. Installation was a PITA due to the lack of space to install the components and then getting my hands in there to wire them up. I've been working on this for almost a week, having to walk away from it several times due to frustration. However, it is now installed and working very well. Originally I used the sensor on the front wheel that provides the signal to the electronic speedometer. It provides a 7 volt square wave signal just like the cruise control instruction book requires. The cruise control refused to recognize the signal even though I had measured it within their spec of 5 - 12 volts. I had to use a magnet zip tied on the driveshaft with a sensor mounted above it attached to the bracket of the hand brake. A flip of the microswitch from square wave to sine wave and all was well. I forgot to take a picture of it before I put the console cover back on. The first picture shows the black control module tucked behind the aluminum water tank and the plastic water/methanol tank, the only place I could find under the bonnet to put it.

That is its actual name.

Hank, I think that would be a perfect car for the shoot.

I hope so, the exhaust tone has changed dramatically and not for the better. It has lost that zippy high performance sports car sound. It is also much quieter than before which is strange since the exit is just below my left ear and it is a straight through 3" ID MagnaFlow muffler.

She was surprisingly low maintenance until she started bugging me for the breast reduction. I have spent far more on the Caterham than on her, in fact, $500 today for a new stainless steel muffler and side exit exhaust.

That would have been Ms. Busty. Every male's and most female's eyes would be on her, none of them making eye contact. It was amazing how many people would stop in their tracks to watch her walk by. I was totally ignored. The Caterham gets a lot of attention but people around here are so used to seeing it that I can gas up without a lot of questions, generally just getting a few "cool car" type comments.

We parted ways after about six months. She wanted to move in and had the audacity to ask me to pay for a breast reduction. She (and I) was tired of the constant attention and guys hitting on her, sometimes even right in front of me.

Many years ago I dated a woman who could have been a body and face double for Dolly Parton. Put a platinum wig on her and they would have looked like twins. I used to tell her that we could walk down the street holding hands and I could have been stark assed naked and no one would have noticed.

Who knows what that super specialized, high performance cheater bar is? One of the legs from an engine hoist.

This one is for sale again http://usa7s.com/vb/showthread.php?t=7240 It is a very well done SV with the Focus SVT Zetec engine. I think it would go for somewhere around $34k

Here's Ross in his other Seven. AFAIK he hasn't taken any of his Road Trips in this one. http://i43.tinypic.com/2llm61y.jpg

Great choice of music - slip sliding away.

Does anyone have a half hood (bikini top) for an SV they are willing to part with? One with the zip out section over the driver side would be best but not necessary. I had one a few years ago but sold it here as the rear exhaust on my car put so much exhaust into the passenger compartment with the half hood that it was undrivable. I'm changing over to a side exhaust next week and need a half hood for some long trips this summer.
