  1. Food for thought - after spilling gear oil I learned it's easier to: elevate the car on wooden timbers, then remove the prop shaft and lower the engine/gear box assembly onto a wheeled dolly. I've got a duratec birkin so this may not work as easily for you as me. just remember how good it'll feel to be back on the road again...
  2. I passed a 1948 Mk IV Jaguar this afternoon. Regrettably these are phone pictures but an interesting comparison of scale none the less.
  3. If you stop in Portland OR and are feeling homesick: the Horse Brass Pub used to have a killer lunch. Wish i could join you out west... Cheers P.
  4. I have a similar set up as you and ran without the oxygen sensor initially. After I got my wide-band sensor installed (haltech) the engine was much happier being able to operate in closed-loop mode. So from my perspective it's definitely worth while. p.
  5. Has the makings of a Darwin Award. Take care. And happy exterminating
  6. Sadly I have to return to NH
  7. Regrettably my Sunday plans no have moved up so I won't be able to join the drive (was really really forward to it too)
  8. It's still Early days... I plan to leave nh in the am (provided the forecast doesn't change) and then play it by ear. Sat or sun either way I'm bailing on other plans. I expect its the weekend for you guys so why not wait and see how things look fri pm or sat am?
  9. I'm optimistic about Saturday, but Sunday is still promising... If Thursday cooperates i'll be in orange county with my birkin waiting for the rain to stop this weekend.
  10. Bruce If Saturday is rained out, will you push to sun 10am or scratch the blat altogether? p.
  11. S1 can you pm me your cell# in case I get lost on my way down. So long as the Currently favorable forecast doesn't deteriorate, I'll be there P.
  12. I might be a definite maybe? Biggest factor is wether the weather cooperates that week. I'm trying to daisy chain the Milford blat onto another long blat there are just too many variables. Fingers crossed P.
  13. I found that a newton filler cap lets me get the nozzle further into the car and doesn't leak when closed with a full tank
  14. I encountered this issue also. My current fix was to enlarge the sensor hole in the aluminum plate to accept a rubber grommet from my local hardware store. The ATS snugly screws into the rubber which holds it in place without the need for a retaining nut. So far this is working for me.
  15. I got mine from TMW. Practically speaking it may be easier to find a good welder/fabricator to ensure a good custom fit.
  16. Mike I expect this could be an insurance in NJ vs. insurance everywhere else issue. My dd insurance in NHL was different than everywhere else
  17. Bill The birkin should have a frame number in two places: the passenger side diagonal front brace, and i beneath the roll bar mount. Congrats on the new purchase Edit: - it looks like Bernie already replied
  18. has several examples. The best price was through Amazon but required searching for the custom dynamics item#. So far i'm very pleased with my installation which made for a good weekend project: 1) drill two 1/8" holes on either end of LED for wires. 2) Feed wires down both sides. realize this is inconvenient. rearrange wires through roll bar to both come out driver side. spend an inordinate amount of time finding the right size weatherproof connectors. 3) solder all wires together so the connectors align and fit through the hole beneath my roll bar. 4) connect to wiring harness - And bob's your uncle.... please post your results when your done.

    Falling Apart

    Hang in there, it's too bad these things can't be shaken loose with a nice blat
  20. Have you considered a certain Duratec powered se7en in the for sale section?
  21. ooh 6 tunnels, wish i could be there! Can you post (or pm me) the whole route? I'm hoping to come down to monticello in June and this would make a nice side trip (allong with Rt23 over high point). p.
  22. Try checking: http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/ Or. http://www.europaspares.com. Catalogs I think both have a variety is choices including apparent stock switches. Or you could: 1) open up the switches and clean the contacts, 2) build your own superior replacements.

    blat

    you guys are making me jealous. I'm stuck in dry dock until my new sump guard is done (hopefully this week). No guard = no drive on NE roads torn to pieces by plows. cheers.
  24. if, for some reason Robert changes his mind i'll take the doors. p.

    Chmsl

    After finding Drew's post I mounted a Custom Dynamics integrated chmsl/indicator (ST6126ARACPT) the same way he did. So far it looks great, has a low profile, and is nice and bright! *it is much brighter when when the brake light is activated
