  1. At the bottom of the ebay posting: The chassis used in this Lotus 7 is not the original chassis. The chassis in this Lotus 7 is a new chassis. The chassis was not built by Lotus or Caterham. Makes you wonder who built it and whether they knew what they were doing.

  6. Hey Kiwibirkin, did you have anything to do with this? :jester: http://news.ninemsn.com.au/glanceview/170712/penis-prank-seen-from-space.glance Heard about it on a Denver radio station today.
  7. Fantastic car! Do you have a video with sound? I'd like to hear what it sounds like when that waste gate dumps to atmosphere. Any problem with blistering the paint around the exit port in the bonnet?

    Endless shampoo

    Who showers and shampoos with clothes on? I think it was staged.
  9. Snell SA2010 for cars, M2010 for motorcycles. Check with the sanctioning body to see whether motorcycle helmets are allowed.
  10. Between the sidewall and the fender stays I have no more than 1/4" clearance. With the R888s in 205/50-15 one stay actually touches until the raised letters wear off a bit. From the top of the tire to the underside of the fender is about 1.5 - 2". I put the top of the tire under the fender first and then rotate the bottom in to get the wheel on the studs.
  11. In honor of Governor Schwarzenegger, a new commandment has been added to the Bible. Be sure to write this one in underneath the other ten: "Thou Shalt Not Share Thy Rod With Thy Staff"
  12. With one heater line blocked by the valve there is no coolant flow through the heater.

  14. Coils do get warm but generally not so hot you cannot touch them. If you ran the Accel coil without a ballast resistor and the circuit to go with it you are asking for trouble.
  15. Does the coil get really hot to the touch about the time the missing shows up? It or the electronic box could be getting heat sensitive with age (or other problems).
  16. (if you don't laugh at this one, there is something wrong.) While she was "flying" down the road yesterday, a woman passed over a bridge only to find a cop with a radar gun on the other side lying in wait. The cop pulled her over, walked up to the car, with that classic patronizing smirk we all know and love, asked, "What's your hurry?" To which she replied, "I'm late for work." Oh yeah," said the cop, "what do you do?" I'm a rectum stretcher," she responded. The cop stammered, "A what? A rectum stretcher? And just what does a rectum stretcher do?" "Well," she said, "I start by inserting one finger, then work my way up to two fingers, then three, then four, then with my whole hand in. I work from side to side until I can get both hands in, and then I slowly but surely stretch it, until it's about 6 feet wide." "And just what the hell do you do with a 6 foot asshole ? " he asked. "You give him a radar gun and park him behind a bridge..." Traffic Ticket - $95.00 Court Costs - $45.00 Look on the Cop's Face? PRICELESS !!!
  17. That E type mount looks close to the current Caterham mounts which are available from Caterham USA.

  19. That's strange, I just checked and the pictures show up on post #1.
  20. The pictures are still there this AM but when I forwarded a link to the thread to a friend he could not see the pictures either.
  21. And heavy. There was one at a C&C here earlier this month. It was mostly ignored, probably because it was a mostly sports and exotics group with few younger people. I got passed by a RHD Skyline GTR on the interstate the other day. First one of those I've seen on the road. It had a great sound as he went flying by.
  22. MoPho: Cool video, the car sounds great. We don't often get to hear what our cars sound like to other people. What do the CHP and local cops have to say about driving with helmets on the street?
