Unscrewed the CO2 cylinder: It's 1/2"-20. Went to Menards and bought a bolt. Wrapped it up with gas tape and screwed it into the port. Next I will cap the outputs and then remove the big red bottle from the car. Not going to try to save the alum tubing. Hope the SLR roll cage does not give me any trouble getting the honeycomb out like the roll bar on the 1700 did.

This part has been superseded Use WFX100631P Not exactly a monumental part-number change. I think it means they can't get the originals anymore and this is a repro.

seen today on Rimmer website: --------- This part has been superseded Use WFX100631P --------- I just placed my order. Many thanks to Croc for leaving the trail!

THANKS! I tried all kinds of searches, and didn't find that. I'm standing on the shoulders of giants. Part number has been superseded. I have ordered the pump. I will add to the thread,

Thanks! I'm reading the "recharge instructions" to confirm my disarming protocol.

I certainly noticed that it had no gauge, which really surprised me, but I suppose if it uses a one-shot cartridge, it mightnot piece the cover on the cartridge until activated, so there would be nothing to measure until you pulled the cable.

At an autocross? Not likely. They don't check dates on seat belts, either. However, It is a good excuse to take it out and get use of the storage space again. I have never been to any kind of event that required a fire system. I didn't count it as value added.

I used to autocross an Elise with a first-rate suspension system. I had Hoosier A7 tires. There were days when all the tin-top car guys were spraying their tires to cool them. I couldn't get my Hoosiers to heat. Then I heard about the 052. These guys worked on the first run. When I got back into Sevens, cars even lighter than the Elise, I figured it was an easy choice to do the 052 tires. Not sorry. They certainly will cycle out before they wear out. The XU class is the ticket for streetable Sevens. About the only meaningful limit on the class is the 200 treadwear rule. Great, the tire I want to use anyway is 200 treadwear. I'm not legal for XU with the Toyos on my CSR, so I expect to run Exhibition for whatever events I get that car to this season. Next season it is going to be XU on the Yoko 052. Meanwhile, I have a fresh set of Yoko 052 205-50-15 on the Birkin I took to Evolution Phase 1 last Saturday and are working great on the 7" wheels.

I didn't want to be the first to mention that.

I have not yet been able to locate the fuel pump. Is it in the tank? If so, where does the power wire enter the tank? If I must remove the trunk floor, there is a fire-suppression system mounted on the center of the trunk floor. I don't know anything about these systems.

I have a CSR 260. I could not get it to keep running at start-up. Discovered the fuel-pump fuse (Fuse M, 15-amp) was blown. Replaced fuse. Car started and kept running. Trailered to an Evolution school. While an instructor was driving the car, it quit on-course. We pushed it over to my rig. I changed the fuse and the new one blew. I suspect that there may be a transient that is blowing the fuses. These are the blade-type fuses in the color-coded plastic housings. Does anyone make slow-blow fuses in this format?

Where is this a recognizable idiom? Iv'e never seen this one before.

>Show us your completed rides here. None of my Sevens have ever really been completed.

Tires: My favorite tire for light cars in autocross is the Yokohama A052. They stick when cold. I have the Bridgestones on my Porsche Cayman. It's a porker at about 3000 pounds and the camber curves are garbage.

Truer words were never typed.

That little piece at the end of a shoelace is properly called an "aglet", not an "exhaust-guard hook".

That's what's in the Birkin I'd like to sell.

And we have a winner. The Canadians call it autoslalom, and that's alright. I have gone around the cones in Canada, but not at an CASC Autoslalom, but at Rendezvous events. I have been addicted since 1968.

I have two pickleballs to protect my storm cap from my mirror clamps. My favorite sport is not pickleball.

Oversize tennis ball. My favorite sport is not tennis.

Turns out, I didn't have all the facts. Silly me had not really looked at the CSR setup yet. I thought all Caterham cars were alike in this respect. Wrong.

I got your vintage green right here. Zetec/5-speed. But it's a Birkin.

Where you at? I have a Birkin with a Zetec that is spare gear. I own three Sevens and really only have winter storage for two.

Truth.
