  1. V. time to go Locost and make your own... unless Mario has an inside angle (IIRC he had 7 grill covers made up previously)
  2. Agreed. Just as well that we aren’t scheduled for NJMP until this fall! At my current rate of progress I may get my seat installed just in time.
  3. FWIW i have a stock duratec and a NipponDenso starter labeled for a kubota tractor or forklift. So part #'s may not line up.
  4. I dipped into alternator wiring a few years ago when the smoke leaked out of my system: your plug looks like the NipponDenso voltage regulator on my alternator. There are many types of voltage regulators out there based on the vehicle and how it's wired. IIRC your picture looks like a 1 wire output with three spade (L)ight, (I)gnition, (S)ensing connector. Most of which are optional for our cars per my alternator boffin. So If it ain't broke, don't fix it: I wouldn't worry too much over this detail. If you don't see the terminal labels unscrew the alternator's back cover and research the voltage regulator item #. p.
  5. Not yet
  6. J. IIRC I ordered from ec fiberglass before Shipping wasn’t bad. But I ordered a dozen to have spares on hand (which have come in handy for other projects) Ps: would you still like To try out my Tillett for size? P.
  7. I think he’s added lightness
  8. FYI - se7en themed shirts are back up on https://www.blipshift.com/
  9. Ha! I still needed to re-pin my O2 sensor. I was putting things back together and moving it into winter position. Besides there is salt residue on the roads and I haven’t installed the seat.
  10. Jay - I ordered a B6-40cm, which mounts through bottom holes. It's nicely wrapped up in my attic right now. it's going to be a tight fit but i think with a little flexing i'll be able to squeeze it into place. IIRC your caterham is slightly wider than my birkin so you should have more options.
  11. I haven’t installed mine yet if you want to try it out sometime before it’s in the car?
  12. xcar. Send him with Larry, just remember to call school daily and say he's still sick.
  13. Just for those pictures I think the "poo brown" and "Crimson" polisher awards both need reassignment to Croc
  14. Croc: Dumb question, but what does it mean to "Federalize on import"? Do not pass go, do not collect $200, Go straight to Leavenworth? P
  15. There are others as well... my car has a Haltech. Tbox is using a Typhoon ECU's in the cars he builds. One advantage is none of these are locked. You just need to find a trustworthy tuner.
  16. It would be fun to see him review a storker....
  17. Oooh... Road Trip. Regrettable there are such challenges in Durban. While exciting things may move to Eagle !
  18. I can’t help but enjoy this Bluetooth discussion as both John and I sit here looking at our engines sitting on the workbench :rofl:
  19. What size trailer does Dan use? IIRC he borrow's his neighbor's a regular box trailer.
  20. Bravo! You’re on my calendar- hopefully This gives all of us time to have our cars in top top shape (and repair/break them a few times beforehand)
  21. Any action shots? How do those ears behave on track?

    And we’ll be left in Todd’s dust every time.

    Scare me? Nope. ill still be waving as you blast past me with your sticky wheels and blue enema - I’m content the engine no longer stops at 5k.

    ADDENDUM: The haltech ignition module gave up the ghost and died last month. In hindsight I suspect this was gradually failing and the root cause for my troubles at the annual usa7s trackday. Facing a re-tune: upgraded camshafts were called for, and once installed the engine felt happier even before re-tuning. After a long chilly drive yesterday (with wet return home) the car is once again running smoothly and better than ever! Many thanks to Alex at Granite State Dyno in NH fitting me in before the snow this week :party: Cams increased hp & torque by 20 points each; unfortunately upgrading driver quality will take more work.
