S1Steve

Off with his head I say.....

Hi John, I'll take you up on that offer. This tuner had great answers to my questions, and he showed me how he is going to tune it real time and then burn then burn the eprom. This guy is a programer by trade and seems to really know his craft. Lets pass the buck, and see how it goes. I think you have my address ?? Happy New Friend, Steve

Cone Engineering and Megs Engineering sell what is called a Swege Formed Collector. So I welded the travel piece with the angle to the collector ( Post # 5), and then put a tiger paw on my grinder and knocked down the weld flush. Then I polished it. So there's no weld showing, looks nice and clean I did the same on the 4 into 1.

Skip, Sounds alot tamer than the old one, and no rattles. We had some snow today, so it never left the garage. Thanks for your help !!!! IHCKB2, I used the same mounting tab on the S1, which did not match up with the muffler. So I cut the hanger off the muffler( it was at the tailpipe), and moved it onto the body of the muffer.I will be happy to take photo's of what I did and post them for you.I also found a good place for collectors and pipe,02 bungs if you need parts.

I'm going to call this little project done. Thanks to those that provided the parts and advice. Sorry the gray carpet is in the pictures.LOL Next job is doing some engine work. I'm still working out the details, but looks like some head work, cams, and then on to the dyno. My new best pals at PSI performance in Lansdale Pa. are going keep the webcon setup, their tuner says its not the piece of shit I think it is..... Just want to be able to keep up with the MONSTER Caterham's at the up coming LOG.... And its not as loud ... No test drive because its snowing....

You want the Mini back.... Safe and sound parked next to the S1, they look great together.....

Sounds like we're losing sight of the original post. There's more to this LOG than just the track event. And if someone is going to have track events in 2013, start a new tread and tell us alittle about who you are and what you have planned.

Welcome Porkie, Thanks for sharing photo's of that Westie. That is nuts in a great way.. Let us know if you make a trip State side.. Steve

Prove it ..... Your retired Sunshine.... You just don't know it yet.... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...

I'm just waiting for that old fuc* to drop dead also. I would be nice to see it as it is. Before it turns into Cancun east....

Off to Frenchtown with boltcutters and a trailer to pick up my new Mini.

Betsy and I are planning on going to LOG 33. See you at the bar, we'll get the first round..

MightyMike, Your new car looks great, and is coming along nicely. I was offered the chance to drive a vette engined 7 a few years ago, and can tell you this. Your going to love planting your right foot. I think the horsepower number was around 440. Plenty !!! Please keep the build photos coming... Steve

Super slow in your 7, is warp speed in mine....

I have all the pieces fit up and can now start welding things up. I hope its not any louder than the old one.

I really liked Karls cage, easy to get into( After Karl showed me hows its done). And once in, I don't remember banging into it out on the track,no bruises the next day. The build quality is excellent, nice tig welds, nice bends. Its the safest I ever felt in a 7. And it has those killer Tillet seats, which fit me like a glove. Which is a nice feature for two guys well over 6 feet. It may be expensive, but your worth it.

To late I'm already there.....

TwoBone, Your right, throw in a few more madmen and it gets even more bonkers... Really cool to watch..

Thanks for the replys. The 02 bung will move away from the head by two feet. I posted a photo of the old header. From what I read there will be no affect by the extra length. Martin thats were I planned on putting it, only because that looked like the best place to weld it, and as you said it will be out of the way. So it seems like I am on the right track. Ask first, drill and weld second.. Thanks for the help, Steve

I bought a new Caterham SV header, and a new R 300 muffler and thought I show how its is working out. The header fits great. To get it thru the side of the body I did some sheet metal work. ( I always said I would never do any body mods, Yea right..) One remaining piece is a slip on collector or a flange to match the header, and a o2 outlet. Where is the best place in the system for the O2 outlet. Steve

Good Stuff....

Seems like a nice S1. I would buy it ( Its a good price), Drive it, Forget about fixing the hood. You'll never see it from the drivers seat.... Good Luck.....

Big Thanks to Tom and Croc for the invite. Thanks to Karl for letting me add counter weight to his 7 and get to enjoy the new F1 style shifter. You forget the cold when you get in the seat next to Karl and Mike... LOL Happy Thanksgiving to all, Steve

Nice idea, warm weather = washing cars and stacking firewood.. Saw your post to late....
