hi! try 'Pegasus Racing'; they carry all manner of that heat resist stuff. i run alot of it on my road race turbo honda civic; to protect the fuel lines, and plastic looms, and shifter cables, etc etc. works really well, and not too expensive! they have a nice website; give it a look! good luck todd

hi. i'd be a bit curious and wondering if the throw out bearing is working correctly? i've had cars (not the Seven, though) on which the throw out bearing would act wacky, and stick, and do what you are describing.... when you put in the clutch, did you use a new throw out bearing, and grease it according to the manual? and was the arm good, with the correct hardware, and lubrication? just a couple of thoughts that come to mind.... good luck! todd

my brother just ordered and received a new Mini Clubman; it seems to be a really nice, well put together car! i begged him to get the S model, but he ended up with a regular Cooper (at least it has the 6 speed manual, though!). i do like the car, i must say! my 'nice' daily driver for the last 5 years was a 2003 Mitsu Evolution; an awesome car, and extremely good in snow/bad weather. mileage not so good, though; about 18-20 in city, and 25 max on the highway. big power, huge grip, great brakes, and plenty of room inside.... todd

hi. when i drive my seven, i have to hold my left foot up in the air, in order to keep it off the clutch. or, if i will be driving on a highway, i can slither my left foot under the clutch (i dont like doing that, tho!). i have size 11-1/2 shoes, and the footwell is small! also, i have the cable type clutch actuator, and it needs to be checked, and adjusted fairly frequently; this can be a source of clutch slipping -- i try to keep about 3/4" freeplay in the cable. good luck! todd

hi! i have extensive track experience with the Z212 Hankook (on a tin top, not a Seven); they hold up extremely well to track duty; no chunking or melting or falling apart (this on a 2800 lb FWD car). good grip, for a street tire. good in the wet, when fully treaded. practically unbeatable pricewise!!! i recommend it. good luck. todd

hi! i got mine from 'Pegasus Racing'; it was a 2-1/4" inlet/outlet, round style canister in stainless steel. length is about 2' long. i use a Chessman 4-1 header, into the race muffler, and it exits just in front of the rear wheel. sound is fairly deep, but i think it sounds nice.... motor is a hotted up crossflow, which i drive a tiny bit on the street, but mostly do track events with.... price was reasonable (somewhere between $100 and $200). i typically only use this muffler/pipe on the street, and at 'quiet' tracks, like Limerock. i have a complete straight pipe that i use at loud tracks! good luck in your search! todd

good afternoon! i have the original distributor off my 1991 caterham super seven super sprint (1600 kent xflow motor) for sale; it is in good working condition, and is the non points type unit. its markings say 'Lucas 103FXYULS 7/94'. comes complete with cap (side exit wires) and rotor. i also have a complete set of racing plug wires for this disty, also. please see picture below for more info: http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/2333/xflowdistributorlucas10oc0.jpg i'll take best offer for it. thanks! todd (oh, i'm located near newark, de.)

hi! i own a 1991 caterham super seven super sprint dedion, which i mostly run at track events.... engine is a crossflow, moderately to heavily breathed upon (176 flywheel hp at 7200 rpm). i instruct for many DE groups (PCA, BMWCCA, Ferrari, Mercedes, NASA, EMRA, and more). i road race with NASA and EMRA (not in the Seven!). i live near Newark, DE. todd
