My aunt and uncle w/ my cousin and his new wife just drove from Haines, Alaska to Anchorage, Alaska. If my aunt complained about potholes in a toyota corolla then they're probably big enough to swallow a 7. Apparently the canadian side of the alcan highway is in need of maintance while the US side is in good shape. Last time I drove to Anchorage a few years back the frost heaves were pretty bad on the canada side. Enough to lift you out of your seats when the driver doesn't see them and hits them at 80mph.

Your local auto parts store should have the tools you need for purchase or for loan. Or you could take the part to a local shop to have the race removed for you.

New plugs, getting fuel, starter cranking, no start!
jlumba81 replied to Oyagi's topic in General Tech
Sounds like an ignition problem. Check to to see if the plugs are sparking. Pull out a plug, connect it to a plug wire, ground the plug against the engine block and have someone crank over the engine. If its working you should see a spark. Oh were the plugs wet w/ fuel? No air inlet obstruction? I had a jeep cherokee w/ an airbox full of nuts before. -
How about one of those hunting cameras that are motion triggered?

So what happens if USF1 doesn't pay the fine? They are already banned from all future events.

The first vid works if you change it to 1080p on the lower right corner.

Seems odd to have a large front wing but nothing to balance out the rear. Must be tail happy when on a track.

Looks like the pound is dropping fairly fast lately. It might be a good time to buy those upgrades or stock up on parts. Last time the pound was low and I price checked a SV thru caterham usa there was a $3000 discount.

Wondering if anyone else has seen these LED headlights from mustangproject.com.

Not really familiar w/ old cars, but is it a '30s ford?

20" wow seems like the snow is going everywhere else but alaska. It rained a couple days ago and snowed again but only 1" or so.

Caterham SV Rolling Chassis at Sevens & Elans
jlumba81 replied to 11Budlite's topic in Cars For Sale
V-Robb, did the buy go thru? Also wondering what engine you plan on putting in it and where you're sourcing it. -
I saw that when the Petite Lemans aired. Amazing work they did. I believe they said they said normally they take 2-3 weeks to put it together. On a side note it was a pity that the race was rained out.

Jim F. ,I got it. Already passed along the info. Thanks. DaveMk1 thanks for the offer, but I'm not sure if he has the free time to drive out to Bozeman. -
Anyone offering ridealongs in the Grants Pass, Oregon area? I had a friend move there a couple weeks ago and he's interested in experiencing a seven.

windscreen and radar detector help needed
jlumba81 replied to MNlotus's topic in General Sevens Discussion
I think I remember reading on a post that the power outlet goes inbetween the seats and that there is a wire for it hanging underneath. Hopefully someone w/ first hand knowledge will chime in soon. -
Amazing picture quality. What kind of video camera was used?
-
Isn't that the castle combe crash that happened a few years ago? Driver ended up w/ only a broken arm.
-
It should be fine depending on how close to the sidewall the puncture is. When I worked at an auto shop we used plugs too. The tire should be fine for highway speeds, but keep an eye on it and check on it on gas fillups.
-
Can you remove the alternator and bring it to a local autoparts store that offers free electrical diagnosis?
-
I recorded using a Tivo and the quality is fine, but I recorded off a normal quality channel not HD if that makes a difference.

Interesting exhaust routing on it. Curious as to what engine it has w/ the intake farther into the nose than most 7s. Also that tube bumper(?) does it attach to the rear fenders?
