  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. I haven’t installed mine yet if you want to try it out sometime before it’s in the car?
  4. xcar. Send him with Larry, just remember to call school daily and say he's still sick.
  5. Just for those pictures I think the "poo brown" and "Crimson" polisher awards both need reassignment to Croc
  6. 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
  7. 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.
  8. It would be fun to see him review a storker....
  9. Oooh... Road Trip. Regrettable there are such challenges in Durban. While exciting things may move to Eagle !
  10. 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:
  11. What size trailer does Dan use? IIRC he borrow's his neighbor's a regular box trailer.
  12. 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)
  13. Any action shots? How do those ears behave on track?

    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.
  18. I also ordered my BigHead fasteners from EastCoast Findeglass Great product and service : just order a few spares to have on hand
  19. for my head i have a 3mm rope to my Birkin ball cap. I like the sun glare reduction of the bill, and rope helps retrieval if the wind pulls it off.
  20. Beautiful pictures & nice use for your NY plate Thanks Mike!
  21. I can't remember what works best for a Caterham. But i long ago found the birkin engine/gearbox goes more smoothly lowering down onto a dolly. (I've lost track of how often it's happened)
  22. Being a good Yankee i use cinder blocks & a pair of 4x4's. it lets me adjust the height and prevents lower back strain from bending over.

    She runs again :auto: - We traced the problem back to a likely malfunctioning ignition module. The module I arranged to have overnighted to me arrived yesterday; without the module... Phone calls and canceled plans later the part they were supposed to send finally arrived and has fixed the problem. Hooray!
  24. Looks sharp! Can he use the Storker for his driving test?

    Update: still won’t start. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: - I’ve spent a little time this week on the phone & plugged in with tech support chasing down gremlins. I’m still waiting for a replacement part to arrive... With any luck it will arrive on time and get my engine running again.
