That's exciting, @Rodnok! That will be an awesome car!

Hope this helps...

YES! Steve has already been a great help. I've probably already bugged him too much about advice on registering in MO!

I am the very happy buyer of the blue and white supercharged Zetec SV mentioned above. Chris has been fantastic throughout the process (car arrives in STL this week). I spent a lovely afternoon with him at Sevens & Elans last week for a thorough walk-around/under/through of the car, very patiently answering all my questions and even briefly taking me to school with a few jaw dropping blasts around the shop. I'd been searching for 8 years. It was worth the wait. Rodnok, good luck with your search!

Holy Moly, Croc/Mike. I just noticed your inventory at the bottom of your post. Sweet!

I’m sold on the 13”/ZZS. Thanks to all for the advice. RMC will be building the kit. Would you recommend asking them to put on the skid plate, or is that something better done after I get it?

Wow! Thanks so much for the replies. This is awesome! Great feedback on the wheels... I hadn't considered a dry sump (but should)... very good to know about the Raceline compact sump... and now I know there is another Seven in STL!!! I've made more progress in one day than I have in the past 5 years! THANKS everyone!

Hi everyone. I'm really happy to have found this site! After several years of hunting not just unicorns, but very specific unicorns, I've finally come to terms with having a Seven built. I live in St. Louis. I'm wondering if anyone has had experience titling/inspecting a Seven in MO or even better in STL city. Any advice? Things I should be worried about? Things I should steer clear of? The car will be a 310R. A big part of my difficulty in finding a preowned has been that a SV chassis is a must, and I really prefer to not go over 160 hp (I'll be mostly a winding backroad driver, but would like a relatively rare trackday). 310R feels like the right fit for me. At the risk of sounding like an endorsement (not sure if that is a no-no here), I must say that Josh at Rocky Mountain Caterham has been absolutely awesome with helping me really dial in on specs. The screenshot is what she'll eventually look like (my productivity has taken a big hit since finding the online configurator!). My other question that I'd love to get some feedback on is regarding wheel choice. 15" Orcus wheels with AVON ZZS come standard on the 310. 15" wheels on a Seven seem counterintuitive IMHO. There is the option to instead go with 13" Apollo (also with TTS). Here's the rub. There are great driving roads nearby, but unfortunately I would have to drive it through the TERRIBLE STL city roads in order to get to them. Massive pot holes, those cursed steel construction plates... just awful. Sump damage is a real concern. One suggestion is that the 15" wheels with the car raised a bit in height would be a good option for me. A bit more peace of mind would be worth the somewhat reduced handling compared to 13". Any thoughts about that? I realize the correct answer is "DON'T HIT POTHOLES!". But, especially in traffic, these can tend to sneak up on you! Has anyone tried a skid plate over the sump? Thanks in advance for your thoughts! jordway in STL
