  1. Hi Gang, Have a favor to ask. Am interested in the blue 2004 Birkin for sale in Michigan, and was wondering if someone could take a look at it for me. Will pay for your time and travel. Long story short. Got hit with cancer. Finishing off 6 weeks of radiation treatments. Want the car to go autocrossing, car events with my two kids, and teach them about mechanics. The three of us have been trying to decide what fun car to get and we all agreed on a se7en. Would normally fly out myself but right now that is difficult. Thanks Scot

  3. Had a caterham with a rotary. When I first got it the motor and trany were placed too far forward. Difficult to get any rear grip. Once taken care of was a great car. Rotary motors lack torque which was not an issue with such a light car. The smoothness, HP, and willingness to rev made it a good fit for a 7. I really liked the smoothness. Also if you have every rebuilt a rotary you will appreciate how simple a job it is. Negatives were it was thirsty, did not sound quite right, and as stated above the motor is small and dense so placement is more critical. This seems like a really good buy
  4. The Kawasaki license plate is cool. They are supposed to turn them in but you may be able to talk them into sending them along with the car.

    Esprit for sale

    Never seen it, don't know it, will pray for who buys it. Looks fun http://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/1401381436.html
  6. Here is a link to a website that lists a lot of cars for sale in Japan. If you can read some Japanese it is helpful but not necessary. http://www.gooworld.jp/php/search/bodytype_search.php Here is one that I found interesting. Look at the car behind the lotus http://www.gooworld.jp/usedcar/spread/goow/14/903009082709030475672.html It is amazing what you can find in little corner shops in Japan.
  7. Hi there, I moved from Tokyo last year after living there for four years. There are a number of different brands of 7s in Japan. One that I ran across often was a copy of an S3 built in Canada and exported to Japan. They were built with Toyota motors. Cannot seem to recall the name right now. Decide on what you want. In Japan the range of setup on the cars is amazing. You will find everything from traditional 950cc motored cars to ones with so many electronic gadgets you can measure the number of g's you are pulling while you adjust your fuel curve. Look for references on the shipper and it will be painless bringing the car over
  8. No longer American made. FN (Fabrique Nationale) and HK make them now. Colt holds the name only. The AK 47 is a good gun and the 74 is even better.

    Hybrids in F1

    Thanks for the link. Though I am left with more questions. 60Kw motor + Battery + controllers = 20kg now that would be amazing. The amount of power that those cables and controllers would have to handle, getting batteries to discharge that fast and not burn up ....

    82 hp boost to the car from the stored energy, how?
  12. Thanks for posting this. I signed the letter. I understand the idea behind the basic law. It was written to keep young children safe from lead and one other toxic chemical that I cannot recall. This is a great example of a poorly written law with good intentions being perverted.
  13. I believe that the Bosch units are the same ones that came in Ford Escorts and Fiestas
  14. That may be the best way to show your car, it is more than just four wheels and a seat to move you from place to place!
