  1. Motion seconded. I’ve always regarded this forum to be more civilized than most of the internet
  2. Those look like Tillett’s: I replaced my sport seat with a Tillett B6 with edges trimmed (not the “Caterham cut”) this year. The seat is a tight fit in the car but I find it quite comfortable and it significantly lowers my body/head in the car. So far my only critique is discomfort driving with a helmet as I my head is pushed forward slightly: straining my neck. Hopefully this can be fixed by switching helmets. Until then I’m using extra padding behind my torso.
  3. Clarko (where are you located?) incase you're nearby. What lights do you have? when i switched to LED tail lights i had the same issue: if so you'll need to wire in diode's to the circuit. IIRC the resistance of the non-active incandescent bulbs is sufficient to ground the active bulbs. however in my case inserting LED's this was no longer the case. cheers p.
  4. Regardless of your sensitivities: We still have a 2020 se7en's track day :hurray: and, well... 'you should see the other guy' I think it was worth it, especially since it's not my foot (although my driving probably looks just as bad).
  5. They promptly responded to me. Looks like the registration deadline for Sunday is listed as 2019.
  6. Mike & Tom For track rabbit should we be selecting 'white' run group since it doesn't list a usa7s run group to pick (as I seem to recall we did previously)?
  7. So we can all be quarantined in Croc’s garage for two weeks? Doesn’t sound too bad to me.
  8. Picture of engine bay, front end & rear? Looks like the old style nose and side mirrors that tmw used for a while.Any idea of original registration/ build year? Could be a TMW zetec build? Try reaching out to Dick. He may have built it and know what type of ECU you have.
  9. What is the provenance of your car? Do you know who built it?
  10. Are you bringing the Storker up in October?
  11. If you only had a wife with a horse... She’ll never question the expenses of your mistress :auto: over those of her show horse habit
  12. I guess TJ & Ian do road trips
  13. Out of curiosity- where were these mounted on your car? Ecu under scuttle on passenger side? Ignition module to water outlet connector?
  14. I think Tbox put one in a wide body Birkin last year. Or you look for a Storker.

    anti-chafe

    Time has come to replace the neoprene/foam between the bonnet & side panels/nose cone. Has anyone tried this product. At 1 x 0.032" the size looks appropriate to me. Or what are other folks using for this applicaiton? https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/chafeseal1.php?clickkey=6654
  16. Wow! Thanks for a recap of the past 10+ years. That add should include a warning that with one ride you’ll be hooked and soon acquiring your own seven.
  17. If you're still looking: I use a Walbro inline pump. Try Calling TomCarlin at BirkinDirect USA. He likely has one in the shop. good luck
  18. Count me on jay. Just can’t be a work day for me.
  19. I got a set of rear roadvision R8 clusters from https://ultimateledlights.com.au/ they work great but one thing... You may need to insert a pair of diodes into your wiring loom: My car was set up with the internal resistance of the incandescent bulbs serving as ground {This explanation is a little dodgy since i'm no electrical engineer}. Substituting the rear LED's activating the turn signal would power all the lights simultaneously. A pair of diode's and separate ground fixed this.
  20. Why not call the engineers at ARP for a definitive ruling?
  21. I also have a set of short trumpets for this ITB. They are new & unused (they shipped the wrong size & not worth me returning).
  22. John given your ambitious list for the morning: I would have (realistically) budgeted one week of spare time to accomplish - keep the details coming. .P
  23. Over what time period have they broken? Check with BirkinDirect as they may have other ideas. IIRC the last one I heard of breaking turned out to be sequelae of a dying wheel bearing
  24. Are your cables color coded? Follow cable running to starter : + Cable running to ground/engine block: - Check fuses

    New Build

    here ya go... (best pic i could find) i epoxy'd a pair of BigHeads benath the trailing fender edge; then used nyloc nuts. I cut them out of ? 1/8" lexan plexiglass from the home center. They are more flexible than I'd expected: flexing if i run over something big yet otherwise rigid enough to stay in position.
