Please lock in September 18-19 for a two day NJMP Drivers Club Event with a Se7ens run group on the Thunderbolt Circuit. Details now posted here:

Actually works quite well from a styling point of view. Puissance maxmimale of 224hp should move it along nicely. I recognize they have raided a Caterham parts bin on some of the suspension. Oxted have provided Caterham S type seats too.

Buyer pays import duties. Pretty much everything is subject to import duties. Its just a matter whether anyone feels the need to collect it. Larger value/sized items seem to get the attention. Fedex will nearly always bill later after item arrives. UPS will hold your item hostage until you pay the duties - and if you don't pay quickly they send it back to shipper.

How much of this will be from the gearbox changes not being calibrated with the engine via the ECU/gearbox control unit? Everything I have read about the sadev used with paddle shifters says that it needs setting up via drive testing. I know when I have driven a sadev with a manual shift lever, it is not happy if you are just pootling around - it prefers that you are on it and then the shifts become very crisp and clean.

RVs also like FL for the same reason as VT. UPS Store address looks like a condo address. They have mail forwarding. No physical annual vehicle inspections required. Works the same for the license. Insurance must follow the state - so a FL insurance policy if a FL titled/registered vehicle but you need to list the alternate out of state addresses on the policy for where the vehicle can be found when it is away from the primary FL address. This produces a higher premium than if it were a true FL only vehicle because the out of state location has an impact on the risk rating. Fortunately I don't have an RV. I will also note that it is not unknown for a DMV to check out car forums....thinking of TX and CA with a couple of types of replicas. Please consider what you say publicly here.

Send it back or at least send that third photo and complain. The third photo shows imperfect production - the carbon is missing on the edge. Given how much he charges you deserve better than that. The first photo looks like it was dropped or brushed while the clear coat was wet - its got brush marks. The second photo has dimpling that is expected on carbon with one coat of clear coat - the clear coat soaks into the weave and you need multiple coats to fill it in.

I actually made that error this week. An email came in referring to "Myotherapist" I responded asking what on earth is 'My Other Rapist"? Clearly I knew my employee too well..... I would hang out your shingle here on USA7s. Plenty of nut jobs....like all of us!

Welcome to USA7s! While I am not local to you, I do want to pass on that you are not alone. There is a couple in western NJ with a Caterham S3 where the wife is in a wheelchair. She loves going out for drives in the Caterham as a passenger. The luggage rack was repurposed to take the wheelchair.

Welcome to USA7s! I so agree - what a car! Don't you wish you had bought it? If I could only turn back the clock to buy some dream cars I let go....

There was a Moroso timing wheel so you plan to call it Moron?

Or maybe we call it "Arlo"? Probably more relates to the owner though?

Or maybe...

It needs a name....

Thats great news!

Bob....thats not a neat garage, its a cry for help! Man caves need a certain level of disarray.

Its Barney!!! All jokes aside, I love a bright color on a se7en as it will work with the shape and makes it more likely other doofus road users will see you. Its a really good choice.

My vote is with @panamericano I have had this happen to me on one of my cars. Supposedly fuel rated braided hose but it was not.

Yes it is a worry if you are relying on me! It is always good to get the thinking challenged - I have puzzled on this one for 12 years! Before @sltous I was the only one with issues - probably because there are so few of these cars and I drive mine hard regularly. I know other owners in the UK and only 2 have the issues that @sltous and I have. They have been taking the same approach I have - larger catch tanks and careful application of oil. Could be worse - some of the early owners of these cars blew their engines from low oil. Something we all wish to avoid. Thats exactly the problem. The compromise of placing the tank inside the bellhousing leads to capacity issues and also fries the clutch release seals over time from being surrounded by hot oil. The tank and tower is known for how it was designed and works - see here for a schematic of the tower The bellhousing tank is below. There is a blanking plate to seal it. You can see the oil galleys that run forward to the Titan dry sump bolted to the engine. The downloads section of the USA7s site has a schematic of the Titan Dry sump with its component parts. You can just see the base of swirl tower on top of bellhousing. Keep in mind, this tank is unable to be accurately measured for level as it is currently designed. There is no way to test level through tower as oil is retained elsewhere in the system and does not always drain back to the bellhousing tank. Putting a sight glass in a bellhousing is beyond my abilities. Short of re-plumbing for a new oil tank outside of the bellhousing then a larger catch tank is the only (imperfect) solution. Solving at source, you would have a bigger oil tank unconstrained by the bellhousing. Caterham did not use this design in any other car so I have to believe the experiences in the early CSR260s informed them this was a bad approach to persevere with. My new CSR build is using a Pace tank which is 50% bigger by volume and can be measured by dipstick. So the catch tank should no longer be a major concern in that design. It will need a catch tank as these big Duratecs do have big crankcase pressures that cause them to breathe heavy. This is the same design as the larger capacity Mocal one which I know works well provided you are careful with your top ups. Get it wrong and it will leak but thats human error. I did not check but it looks to be the same one that fits for limited vertical height on the firewall shelf. Very interesting. Have seen these on Landcruiser diesel offroad vehicles but never extended my thinking that this would be a solution for a Caterham CSR260. Its a band aid to the original design issue but should work. Not sure what I would tap the oil return into as there is no dipstick hole. More thought needed on that.

I can relate. Have done that once or twice a year to myself - it usually happens at each USA7s HPDE event where I look like a right wally covered in oil. Its really a pain to get it out of the footwells as mine drips on to my legs there. I suspect you already were at the right level and it all went to the catch tank. Also it looked like it leaks first from the fabric breather as that is the first escape point. So you really only have 2/3rds of a catch tank. Time for a bigger tank?

I guess F1 World Champions do like driving se7ens. A good artlcle on Silodrome on Nigel Mansell's Birkin Crossflow which is currently up for sale.

Hi Bob - What is the difference between an AXR Stalker and a regular Stalker?
