    Wow, I can't imagine what he was going through. After that I would have rigged up a spark coil in the driver's seat to get your attention. Tell us about jumping the bridge.
  2. Glad to hear you are not injured. I cringed as you hit the tire wall. Tire walls are good to hit compared to the Armco. An expensive lesson but it could have been far worse.

    What is the red mushroom looking thing on the front of the trailer in the last photo?

    Has anyone put a trailer hitch on a Caterham? Pictures and description please.

    What's the max load it will carry and how much does it cost?
  8. Are you sure it is connected to the transmission? The speedo on my Caterham reads the left front wheel lugs with a Hall effect sensor as I could not make the Miata sensor on the transmission play with the Caterham speedo.
  9. Which canyon is that? It looks a bit familiar.
  10. Is it tuned to just your cell phone or will it go off if some other phone rings near you?
  11. Can we assume this aircraft is dedicated to flying the F1 team to and from the races?
  12. The fellow who built my motor mounts and machined my transmission is scratch building a Seven of his own design based on measurements taken from my SV. He first built a shop and is now working on his Seven. John is a professional machinist in the aerospace industry as well as having many other talents. His build log is at http://www.locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=13510
  13. If you missed it the last time around it is playing again this evening at 6 & 10 PM Eastern time on Velocity, (Channel 281 on Direct TV).
  14. Not since I got it working correctly. There is a button to turn the system on and off and I can feel a difference between them. The last dyno without the system was 301 WHP and about 265 lb ft of torque. Since then I have removed the catalytic converter and brought the injection system on line and I'm guessing these two changes added around 30 HP.
  15. Not running pure alcohol but I have a water/methanol injection system on my turbo setup. Its main purpose is to cool the charge to prevent pre-ignition. It comes on at 4 psi boost and makes our 91 octane premium squirrel piss into something close to 100 octane. The system also changes the computer map to one with more aggressive timing and leaner fueling.
  16. Bright orange should go well with the black c/f and white frame and roll cage.
  17. Ve vil mak it so you hav no akcent.
  18. The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than the other possibility, German. As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would become known as 'Euro-English'. In the first year, 's' will replace the soft 'c'. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard 'c' will be dropped in favour of 'k'. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome 'ph' will be replaced with 'f'. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter. In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent 'e' in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away. By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing 'th' with 'z' and 'w' with 'v'. During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary 'o' kan be dropd from vords kontaining 'ou' and after ziz fifz yer, vevil hav a reil sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru. Und efter ze fifz yer,ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forstplas.
  19. Does the lower lip at the bottom back have a profile something like this:
  20. Bessie, How about a progress report? Last time I visited Caterham USA you were AWOL. Speculation is that you have been kidnapped (Seven napped?) by Ben and locked up in his garage.
  21. My SV has a Dzus fasterner on each side near where the headlight bracket goes through. The bottom of the nose cone has a lip that sits over and a bit around the front most bottom transverse frame tube. Easier to get off and on than the newer ones with two more Dzus fasteners under the nose cone but probably not as stable.
  22. It gets a little redundant but the last one is the best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUoCZOOxgv8
  23. I've been following this thread but had decided the logistics were not going to work for me and my O2 requirement. Having someone to drive the truck and trailer from Calgary to Vancouver certainly makes it much easier for me although it would have follow us so I can replenish my O2 supply as necessary rather than just being taken directly to Vancouver. I looked up the round trip for the truck and trailer and it comes to 3,139 miles at an estimated fuel cost of $1,130. I don't know what they are using for fuel costs or what the cost would likely be in 2013. Its something I would like to do but cannot commit to at this point.
