  1. For our 25th anniversary I gave mine a Brunton Superstalker! That actually went over pretty well. Better than a diamond. Lot to be said about having a motor-head for a wife.:party:
  2. I can relate... I had a lady in my office ask what I was getting my wife for Christmas a couple years ago, and I told her a new dishwasher (Hey... it was an ultra quiet one that wouldn't disturb me while I was watching TV;-) Within a couple minutes I had several women in my office with fire in their eyes!!!! She got jewelry.
  3. We have 70 mile rt to an autocross coming up Saturday... reports are that it is will only be in the 60's at 8:00 am.... Thank goodness for sweaters and heaters. Hate it when it is so cold the tires don't heat up until half way through first run. Oh well, it'll be in the upper 70's by afternoon. Gotta tough out the winter blast's!:cheers:
  4. Nice! I like the look over the hood / stripes. Scott
  5. Wow. That is bad. Hope the driver was ok. Edit: Just read that the driver walked away. Good stuff.
  6. Mentions Caterham at 5:24, thus a 7esq video![/url]
  7. I imagine it just might!! :drool:
  8. Your guess about the Stalker V6 being solid is correct. I bought my superStalker over a year ago and have not had to tweak, wrench or otherwise touch the engine. Gobs of torque and power when you want it! Parts are readily available from NAPA of I ever need them. Correction... I did have to clean out the screen in the fuel regultor due to some crap in the fuel tank. But that is it. The T5 transmission has performed flawlessly as well! Scott
  9. First Enduro we have attended. It was 5 laps around the course. FTD for me and 4th overall for my wife, The two guys between us are local 'Hot Shoes' so I was real happy with both our results! She really does like the competition. Around 4 minutes per run. VERY fun. A couple of Mary's laps: [/url] Last lap of my runs: [/url] Scott
  10. That would be some pictures / Video's I would really like to see! :driving: Scott
  11. Love the sound Glen! Enjoy that rocket!
  12. Looking great! Good luck with the inspection.:driving: Scott
  13. The background with low clouds is incredible:cooldude:
  14. This is my favorite picture of our Se7en. A pretty woman who has no issue putting on the race tires herself makes the picture work for me! Not a very artsy shot... but a rare one. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v640/snookwheel/DSC00294.jpg Need to get some beach shots with it.

    Tried it again this morning and it worked fine! In fact, I found a new restaurant to try on Indian Rocks Beach! Very cool. Thanks, Scott

    I can't get it to update location?
  17. I drive ours at least two or three times a week. If nothing else, a decompression ride after work. Always brings a big grin to my face.
  18. Lol. An enthusiastic M3 driver did exactly that at an SCCA event a few weeks ago.. Not the FTD part, just the timing gear part. He was sure he could wring out another second.... paid for it with some busted electronics and a crease in his rocker panel. Lucky the competition runs were over by then. I have been guilty of that once in my past. Smacked the lights in my Solo Vee. Fortunately the equipment still worked after gathering up the parts. That drive of shame past all the other drivers is rough..:banghead: Scott
  19. This guy has been selling scrubs / used tires for a while and has a good reputation from what I have heard. http://www.jbracingtires.net/ Scott
  20. Brooksville is fairly narrow being as it is a runway. Slaloms generally are a fair piece of the courses there. Every so often we get ones with cross overs and loop backs, but that can limit it to one car on the course at a time. Great grippy surface there. Always a great time. Scott
  21. SCCA Autocross at the Brooksville Airport Sat. and the BMW Club at Brooksville on Sunday! I got beat Saturday by a F500 and a 1968 Datsun (That car/driver was FAST. The Datsun took FTD. Sunday I managed FTD. Saturday Video: [/url] Sunday Video (Very fast course) [/url] Scott
  22. I run 13 X 10 Diamond Racing Wheels with Hankook Ventus 240/570 C91 compound tires for autocross. the sidewall is every bit of 3.75 inches tall, so no ground clearance issues. I buy scrubs. I have seen them for +- $35.00 tire + shipping with plenty of life left. (I'm cheap). The hot set-up (IMO) is the Goodyear R160 12 X 20 X 9.5 tire. Much lower profile. I borrowed a set for my fronts at an event and the turn in was definitely better. The Stalker that placed 3rd at Nationals was running the Goodyears.
  23. Give Scott a call at Brunton Automotive in Bradenton, florida. He can get you in touch with Dennis Brunton who I believe is a distributor of AVO shocks. http://www.bruntonauto.com/ The Se7en based Superstalker comes with the AVO coil over shocks. He will be able to get you what you are looking for. Dennis is a wealth of knowledge re the shocks and what works for a se7en! As is Scott and Glen Minehart, the new owner(s) of Brunton Automotive.
