    Leave the kids at home & bring Larry.

    I’ll be there

    I don’t know if “EDIS Module” is same as the Haltech “ignition module”… what you’re describing sounds similar to mine dying a few years ago. much searching and one MacGyver’d Noid Light at midnight, and a few tech support headaches: I replaced it & problem solved. I also learned it’s a Bosch unit that interchanges to a 25$ VW part.

    If weather is favorable I hope to have several days with the seven in Vermont next month. Beyond: AppGap. Rt100, bread loaf, smugglers notch. Lincoln gap, Hero island & the Ben & Jerry’s tour, what good (must drive) roads am I missing? - other than every beautiful dirt road that doesn’t end in a logging track. p.

    Are they requiring Hans? For slow drivers like me? I recall last year conflicting tech forms indicating Hans was required or recommended/optional.

    Tom What are this year’s track/tech quirks? Harness in date & arm restraints of course. Should we look out for Brake pad measurements? Tire dates? Hans?

    Fwiw: my oil temp was getting to 230+ I added a Setrab cooler: Both water & oil temp are now stable at their set points. Discussion is here:

    Intermittent spark/wire fault? I had similar issue once with a frayed/worn wire going into ignition coil

    Lotus 7 : Anyone who really knows will spot the difference and you can have a good chat. Trying to go into detail with everyone else will just cut into your driving time.

    Apply a heat gun & time to warm things up & expand clearances ?

    I strongly prefer the zzs over ra-1. Much better grip & performance for street, autoX, and occasional trackday

    I’ll see you in September

    Another 👍 for safety/laminated green glass. I had mine replaced with this material. The trick is finding a competent/independent glass shop that will cut a piece to fit the frame & put it all back together.

    I have similar one as MichaelD for my Birkin (I sent dimensions to company to confirm fittment & needed a different model #) & have been happy with it.

    I previously had collectors via USAA (discount rate). Then consolidated all our insurances with a local broker for a collective discount. (IIRC others have had similar experiences). So I’d say (especially if you need homeowners insurance) to check with local broker to see if they can beat their competitors.

    Still waiting on parts: just picked up clutch. Shocks just got to heathrow. Radiator needs a bit of fabrication work… still awaiting other incidental parts & warmer weather so I can put all these nice things back together

    Clutch wear

    All better now: replaced insert & flywheel balanced.

    Part # help

    wemtd replied to wemtd's topic in General Tech

    Part identified: (Thanks @Tbox56) it is an FC65354. cross references to 1995 Ford Escort. I was lead astray by smudged part # stamp on the old unit.

    Part # help

    wemtd posted a topic in General Tech

    Does anyone have a part # for the 2.0L Duratec pilot bearing? I didn't write down the part # when replaced 7years ago, so of course i'm having a challenge finding the correct part # this go-around replacing my clutch. Just thought I'd ask for a shortcut if someone here knows...

    Clutch wear

    wemtd replied to wemtd's topic in General Tech

    Thing I didn’t mention is hydraulic fluid contamination occurred last year… I imagine a happy plate should look like a brake rotor?

    Clutch wear

    wemtd posted a topic in General Tech

    We’ve had discussions on how to read the condition of spark plugs & tires but I don’t recall any discussions regarding clutch selections & wear. I can surmise that a shattered metal disk and tangled knot of Kevlar needs to be replaced. However I’m not too familiar with what a happy clutch/friction surface should look like versus the sample below (dust has been wiped off with solvent). Curiosity has gotten me wondering what collective wisdom the group has on this topic?

    @11Budlite had a fantastic set of stands. He’ll probably stop by with their specifics soon.

    May not help you; but I have a set of ‘spare’ ATpower ITB intake horns. (I received the wrong part, so it’s a spare now)

    I think some folks on OzClubbies have been through this before (probably BlatChat too). just in case you haven’t looked there yet..
