@CBuff what a great pic!

This sounds like a great engine, @73TwinCamSpecial just purchased a 7 S4 and it needs a complete drivetrain. This would seem to be perfect for him. He’s in Orange County, so maybe close to you.

@73TwinCamSpecial congratulations on your win, it will be an awesome car once you finalize your engine selection. I have a S4, BVTC, same color, with hardtop, and they are great, under appreciated cars. I’ve shipped my S4 a couple of times and I always used enclosed transport each time. In the grand scheme, especially this time of year, it’s highly recommended, especially coast to coast. Each time my 7 was moved they secured straps around each tire, and tensioned as needed to prevent movement. I don’t recall them attaching anything to the chassis. Hope this helps

Yes seen on a few cars of the era…my S4 7 and Jensen Healey also used this type of fuel cap.

I agree with KTR and have used them in the past, and they can do everything..

I was pondering why the lack of high octane on the route, and think the reason 93 Octane doesn’t exist on the route is probably due to the altitude of I-80 above sea level. I-80 varies from 4,000 to 7,000 feet, so at 4,000 feet 93 octane converts to an equivalent octane of 91, and at 7,000 it’s 89.5.

That’s true, but it does list various octane ratings available

I use the Pure Gas site, https://www.pure-gas.org and found it pretty accurate. You can check cities along your route.

That sums it up…..nice video. Thanks for sharing

@Slonie I had something similar occur when I changed to LED’s. I’d suggest before chasing wires to change the bulbs back to make sure the wiring is ok and everything works correctly. You might change the bulbs one at a time to test. In my case changing back to non-LED proved everything worked, correctly flashing, and it turned out to be a faulty relay.

@San Augustine I’ll get some pics uploaded…just refinishing the last of my Lotus brand wheels on the S4 to their original color, and a few other bits.

@San Augustinethanks for the detailed post about the wheels. I find it interesting that the wheels on the gpsevens car have a triangular relief where your wheels have a trapezoid shape which is what I have. I’m also running the Pirelli 185/13 tires on my S4. Great wheels!

Here’s a link to the sevener.fr article @EdWillsreferred to https://sevener.fr/articles_redac/Design_Analysis_of_the_Lotus_Seven_S4_(Type_60).pdf

@Exarkun1178 can you share the part number for the 10” wheel you ordered? I looked at the Moto-lita site and was unable to find it. Thanks!

@Exarkun1178, Very cool, I’m going to look at that as an option for my 7. Please post a pic of the final install of the wheel and gauges

Hi @stevehellosee if this helps you. @croc maybe add to files too. Thanks!

I wish I had the budget for this….it would be great to have these as spares for my 1600 BDR

Not a 7, but 7esque…posted to BAT https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1980-blakely-bantam/

@Marek I believe UHaul rents the trailers for car moves, and they do one way.

Diva, it’s in Croc’s repeat section.

Yes please! Looks great.

@Davemk1 I’ve used the Sprint Classic in 15” for one of my cars. I liked the drivability of the tire and didn’t mind the vintage look.

I believe Nova has both sizes in a couple of variations. Not sure how available they are though. https://novamotorsport.com/tyres-results-page/?filters[tyre_construction][]=&filters[rim_diameter][]=13&filters[tyre_size][]=185%2F55R13 https://novamotorsport.com/tyres-results-page/?filters[tyre_construction][]=&filters[rim_diameter][]=13&filters[tyre_size][]=215%2F55R13

I agree with @Marek, KTR is a great shop. I’ve used them in the past. They are busy, especially during race season.
