S1Steve

Mazda, I am on my second GMC Envoy. The first had over 100.000 on it,only thing it like to eat was rotors. It did save me when a full dump truck ran into to me going to work. So I had it fixed, and traded it in on a 08. GMC's are well built and both Envoys towed very well.Our friend tows two BIG horse's with her 99 Yukon,and won't get rid of it. She claims it's the best tow rig she ever had. :yesnod: Steve

Kyo, Pat Prince has been at it for a long time, and has designed and built many National Champion race cars. So I would think the prints that you have will be a fine start for your 7 frame. Good luck and enjoy your build. :yesnod: Steve

Hi, First, Thanks Mazda for the tune up on the site. Second, Just got back from the vintage races, lot's of 7's and other Lotus's. Plus, Fangio's Alfa. Enjoy !!

Andrew7, You give some great insight on the pros and cons of a BEC. I never thought about a engine made to push a #400 bike, installed in a #1000 car. I went the other route and installed a car engine in a 7( Zetec in a S1) Well just want to say Thanks for a well written post. :cheers: Steve

Hi Mazda, Seems like things are running slower,and I can't upload photo's.For a while I thought it was just my brain moving slow, still may be the case !!! Thanks, Steve:crazy:

Hi Tom, Your car is SWEET,best of luck with it. Steve Novelli

Well it could be a long story , but I'll make it short. Alway had a thing for anything English, and I had a few Mg's, a Norton bike,a Mini Cooper S,TR4 and a Winkelman FF that I ran auto-X and solo1.I used to drive the FF around the streets of my house,and my Dad said, Don't they make something like your Winkelman that you can drive on the street Legally,. I said Yes , that would be a Super 7. Years latter at the 2000 F1 race at Indy, I sat in one of the first S1 , and said thats it, I must get one. Thanks Dad !!

Hi, Seems like they are all over. I may be having Simon up from Delaware with his new to him S1. If he makes it up this weekend, I will post some photo's. I would like to meet up with the gent that lives close to Tom also. Good eyes Tom !!! Steve:cheers:

A great start for the new track, as the Rolex and Grand Am tour was the opening act for NJMP. My son Chris and I were happy to see what a great place it is turning into. I have seen the Prototypes at the Glen and Daytona, but at NJMP you can get alot closer and you see how fast they really are. I have lot's of photo's, but I'll show Chris's favorite and mine and the Winner from Michael Shank Racing. Happy Holiday, Steve http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1229534144_Millville Race Track 002.jpghttp://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/466720026_Millville Race Track 005.jpghttp://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/182261529_Millville Race Track 035.jpg

The Speed Channel said it"s Scott Pruett, and that he has hurt his back, I wish him a fast recovery. Look forward to getting down there on Sunday and enjoying a new track. Steve

I like the Piloti shoes,and wear them alot.I get the Griot'Garage Handbook in the mail,and I seem to get new ones at X-mas and birthdays. I also have a pair of G-Force nomex high tops for track days ,but seem to wear them more and more. They are hot, sweaty and I would not wear them to a bar or what ever, they work well thought.:yesnod: Steve

DB6, Try Pierce Manifolds in Gilroy Ca. They are the Weber Rep for the USA. Steve

I'm very carful who I let drive mine, Let's see,A good friend with a National SCCA Championship to his name. Father in Law drove it back from Watkins Glen, I towed his broken MGA home.And wife only after I posted I WON'T let her drive it on this site and she read it. :banghead:

Betsy "OUR" new 7 came today,look what I found in the crate, Honey, say Hi to Betsy. Steve" deadman walking"Novelli:surprised:

Busa is doing us right by posting all those cool vids.Naming him the King would be the right thing to do. Your a good man Busa. :cheers: Steve Novelli

What a great newsletter!!! Well Done, Steve Novelli :party:

That is the finest 7 I have seen, Steve

Jon, Thanks for the up-date, now I am glad I did'nt drive it. Having a car sit just kills them. Have a good weekend, Steve

Hi Everybody, There's a Westfield SE on E-bay, Replica| Kit Makes, and it's at the local Porsche dealer, Don Rosen Imports. So I took the S1 over to check it out, I have never seen a Westy. Looks very nice, needs a good cleaning,runs good, they offered a drive, but I pasted. The owner is selling because he will get his new Beck Spyder tomorrow. Owner said he put the reserve down to 12.000. Seems like it can be had at a very fair price. General Manager, Keith Shaw, said he will sell it without going thru E-Bay. Hopes this helps someone looking for a 7. Steve http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1196464375_Westy SE 002.jpg

I like the brakes, wheels, and the steering wheel is cool. The design I don't care for at all,but the 400 hp,it must be fun to beat on. steve

196s, sometimes there is Dino after. V6, three made , two survive, Big Bucks. While looking for info on a 196, seems someone made 27 or so copys, Steve

1959 Ferrari 196S,It may be a replica ?, Thats OK I'll still take one in Fly Yellow. Steve

Tim, No problems with how it runs. Do you have the Web-Con set-up?? Steve

Good stuff!! Spa is on my short list of places I must go to . Steve

Hi Mazda, The belly pan looks good.Do you have to reskin the whole car? Or reuse the old skin. There will be a open track event at Pocono this fall, coming up??? Nice work, Steve:thumbs:
