  1. Having an automatic transmission put the 4C out of consideration. My wife was fine with riding in my Elise; not so much the Seven!
  2. Thank you for posting these videos, particularly the latest showing the dry sump system. I’m still running a stock pan (with baffles) on my Twin Cam. My car is RHD and has heat which would make the plumbing for a dry sump different. You did an exemplary job of fitting all the hardware in!
  3. Or closer to home, RD Enterprises, https://www.rdent.com/
  4. Live axle parts catalog, which is a little useful for my car and this CD.
  5. Nope. One and only post. No PM either.
  6. Can someone please point me to stainless butterfly Dzus fasteners? I’ve looked in the usual places and not found a stainless version. Thanks!
  7. It may not be the perfect pair, but it’s a good one! It’s always great to jump into the Seven after a more civilized ride. My pair, which offer different but still great experiences.
  8. Too bad the tours are sold out when I’m going to be in England. Will see if I can get in there.
  9. You may want to connect with the Lotus Owners of New York group, based in the Buffalo area. Likely to be some Sevens in that group. Lotus Owners of New York
  10. I recall a person I knew in Jamestown, NY making a Spitfire based “Seven” like car. This would have occurred in the late ‘80s. Unfortunately, I don’t have any photos and it’s been quite a while. I see that he died in 2018.
  11. Shorter air horns would provide more room for filtration.
  12. Note that the opening in the base plate of the short K&N filter will not allow use of air trumpets.
  13. It’s pretty important to have some filtration in order to prevent not just large debris but dirt and sand from entering the engine, which will cause premature wear of the cylinder walls. The opening in the hood of my car is somewhat restrictive and I’ve been using a short K&N filter. I’ve experimented with foam filters over trumpets, but they made it difficult to remove the hood.
  14. The same Compomotive wheels as my car. Have never seen a twin cam cover like that though!
