I will be leaving on Thursday for Austin TX to a NASA weekend at Circuit Of The Americas. Are there any other Seven's from here signed up to go? Tom

This is a car I am marketing for the owner. It appears to be a very nice clean example of a Birkin S3. Below is a list of features this car has. 2003 Birkin S3. 6987 miles • Dunnell built engine • Twin throttle bodies • Individual coil on each spark plug • Haltec sport 1000 programmable engine managing system • Kasei K1 race wheels (5) with new Nitto road tires (4) spare tire ok for emergency use • Detachable steering wheel- a big asset for getting in and out • Polycarbonate wind deflectors • Extended exhaust, exiting at the rear of the car • Five point G Force race harness plus three point regular inertia seat belts • Black paint condition 8 on a scale of 1-10 Extra item included • Tall roll bar with race harness and go-pro mounts • Tonneau cover • Car dust cover • Set of 4 hard front disc pads. • Please contact me with any questions or more information.

Here is a picture of a dipstick tube made from a soft thin wall aluminum using the standard dip stick. This is on a 2.5 L Duratec, at the top you can see it going in between number 3 and number 4 extension tube on the throttle bodies. You can then access the dipstick from the top of the engine. With the compound curves you will need to corkscrew your dipstick to get it to bend multiple directions. Tom

Under the rear diff is correct for the IRS cars. The live axle cars it is located on the axle side of the rear bulkhead, in the fitting where the steel brake line changes to rubber going to the axle. Tom

I believe that would require a full steel plate to protect the nose! Tom

Yes it would be and will be finished Grey with yellow and carbon fiber. Maybe a personal delivery to NJMP.

Another Birkin is off to the paint shop. This special build is for an east coast customer.

I plan on making the trek from Colorado again this year. Tom

Not for the classic size cars. I have another order in production I could probably add to, should I get you one? Usually I get them 75mm taller than standard. Keep in mind if you have a full hood it won't work with the tall roll bar, the Birkini probably will with longer rear tie down straps. Tom

Another box of new XS Birkins just arrived Friday and looking for new homes. Tom

Good job, I built that car for the original owner, let me know if you have any questions after you receive it. Tom Birkin Direct-USA 970-376-5188

We have them in stock and can build you one or send you a "kit". Tom

The old Car Builder magazine has been re-branded and is in print form (and online) again. The new name is Reincarnation https://www.rcnmag.com/ the tag line is Continuation, Replica and Low Volume Automobiles. Sounds like us. The cost is free for both print and online. Tom

It would be an older style, they are not in stock but can be ordered. $207.50 Tom

They should be 1 for front brakes 1 for rear brakes and 1 for clutch. I would guess that the person that built your car made the middle one the rear brakes. the bias bar should be set heavy to the front therefore you are not noticing that you have no rear brakes. Tom

We can help you with many of the items on your list. 1. Front turn signals not visible from side HAVE ONES THAT ARE 2. Back up light not bright enough HAVE LED TAIL LIGHTS THAT ARE BRIGHT 3. No defroster (has no heater) HAVE ELECTRIC HEATED WINDSCREENS 4. No washer fluid sprayers HAVE WASHER KITS 5. No secondary strap on external fuel pump 6. No brake fluid pressure indicator light FLUID LEVEL LIGHTS ARE IN THE STOCK WIRING LOOM 7. Exposed exhaust system 8. Wiring too close to steering column 9. No safety etching on windshield 10. No bumpers DON'T HAVE ANY BUT NOT THAT TOUGH TO DO 11. No cup holders (just kidding) WE HAVE THESE BUT THEY ONLY FIT THE 64OZ BIG GULP AND REPLACE THE PASSENGER SEAT Contact me if you would like help with these items Good luck, Tom 970-376-5188

A big thanks to Mike and Tom for all of the work they put into organizing this wonderful event. It was great to see all of the east coast people again this year and a couple of new faces as well. Got back home yesterday evening after a total of 4,139 miles. Tom

There is a dash layout on page 8 https://www.dropbox.com/s/fmsw44bxx05ls5f/OWNERSMANUAL.pdf?dl=0 Tom

There is a dip relay that switches between high and low when a momentary contact button is pushed. Here is a wiring diagram https://www.dropbox.com/sh/1w1t9trl845nxsn/AACc0b0af1yp9mmr1jBP4-EUa/headlights.pdf?dl=0 Tom

Less than 3 weeks to go. Looking forward to seeing everyone again. Tom

Tom or Mike, Who should I contact about camping at the track, fully self contained no hookups needed? Tom

Signed up and looking forward to seeing everyone again. Tom

Fortunately the snow is at the ski areas where it should be. Tom
