Not really. My first car was an NB Miata and my knee was constantly jammed against the dash. I put 40k miles on it that way in college but now that I am used to more space I cant go back to it. Both the Elise and Ultralite have less interior cubic volume but due to the seating position have more knee room

I see you have the racing driver excuses down pat The new longer west straight looks like a much easier and safer way to go. Do they plan to do that permanently or only for the full track?

A less eventful trip compared to your trip in the Seven I really like idea of a V8 Miata, I only wish I could fit in one. There is someone in Vegas that makes V8 boxsters which sound like more practical fun

Bump. Car is still for sale as the last buyer dropped out due to financing issues.

I doubt if you'll find Duratec Caterham for 25K - maybe an older crossflow. My CA legal WCM Ultralite is for sale in your price range: http://www.usa7s.net/vb/showthread.php?10631-WCM-Ultralite-with-trailer-and-sparesplug>

Monday bump - this is your chance to get a fully debugged and significantly upgraded Seven that is equally at home on the street and the track.

Thanks Mondo. I wish I had the garage space to keep it forever but hopefully it will go to someone that that uses it well. Here is a blast from the past of our cars together at Buttonwillow.

After 6 glorious years of Seven ownership I am looking for a new owner to care for my 02 WCM Ultralite. The car is in great condition and is for sale only because I no longer have enough time to drive it as frequently as I should. This makes it the perfect opportunity for you to pick up a very fast, well sorted and most importantly reliable track car that is both 100% street legal and comfortable enough to be driven on the street. The base specs of the WCM Ultralite are: 1400 lbs 240 hp Honda S2000 motor (F22C) S2000 gearbox Subaru differential Wilwood brakes 0-60: 3.5 sec (traction limited) Fully adjustable independent suspension (camber, caster, toe) Adjustable pedals to fit different drivers Adjustable shocks Over the years I have made several significant improvements to car to make it both safer and more reliable as a track car. The following are just some of the things I have done: Roll Cage by TC Design Fuel Safe fuel cell OMP Pista HALO race seat with Schroth 6-point pull-up belts Brake bias valve Lithium battery Differential brace for track duty Rota Wheels with Nitto NT01 R-compound tires Steel braided fuel lines Custom Hushpower exhaust Lotus Elise air intake While this list may appear very track focussed, they have also been made with an eye to keeping the car usable on the street. I have ~10,000 street miles on the car including a 2000 mile road trip to Seattle for the 2013 West Coast Lotus Meet Additional spares/items included with the car Spare differential Extra adjustable shocks (softer than current) SDS EM3 tuner lightweight trailer Included in the package is this lightweight custom trailer that specifically fits the Ultralite. With just an 11 foot bed and weighing an around 600 lbs, this trailer is the easiest way to get the Ultralite to events that are further away. With a combined weight for car + trailer of less that 2200 lbs, this trailer can be towed by most sedans and will not need a trailer brake controller or a 7-pin connector. The Ultralite is also fantastic fun at autocross and is usually the fastest street driven car at most events. The video below is from me winning the top time of the day at the 2013 WCLM autocross. You can see some more videos on more open autocross courses , and . Location: Daly City, CA Current mileage: 15,575 (will increase as I am still driving it) Price: $27,000 (includes trailer and spares) High resolution current photos of the car are available at for some video from a recent (July 6th) track day at Thunderhill West. This was its first track day in almost a year and it did not need any maintenance beyond a fluids and pressures check. Once at the track it did over a hundred miles in 100 degree weather with zero issues. Excuse the bad lines as it was my first day on Thunderhill West. For more information about the car you can find my old blog posts about it here, while my Flickr account contains hundreds of pictures from the last five years. Please contact me via PM or by posting here if you are interested or would like any more information

If you are willing to go non-Caterham I'll be listing my WCM Ultralite (S2000 engine) in a couple of weeks. Fully sorted out for track/auto-X and with 240 hp is pretty damn fast

I have an OMP Pista in mt Ultralite. The top of the seat is slightly wider than the opening but I have it setup such that the left edge of the seat goes just under the chassis rail and gains an extra inch of width.

We will have West Coast Lotus Meets but I have to say I was disappointed by the Sevens turn out (3) for the one I organized in Tahoe last year :-(

I velcro mine (Bay Area Fast Pass) to the carpeting between the seats and above the center tunnel.

India is 5:30 ahead of GMT. The 30 min split was done because the country stretches across two timezones but did not want to have deal with multiple timezones. We do not have DST either. As a foreigner DST was an idiotic concept when I first heard of it and now 12 years later I still feel the same way

Has he posted to the GGLC newsletter? I beleive ads are free for members though the next one will be in May

:-( I hope Johns's circumstances improve soon and we have a great event in 2016

You should be fine at that clearance. My skid plate is just under 2 inches off the ground and the sump is at 2.5 inches. Just take it slow over speed bumps.

A big thanks to Tom and Terry for putting this trip together. Jim Rankin and I just booked our Ferry passages. Are the hotels the same ones on the http://www.7cars.ca/PDFS/Hotel%20list.pdf list and should we book now or wait till the the new dates have been communicated to them?

:hurray::cheers:

Looks like the ferry schedule is out with boats leaving Whittier on the 17th and the 31st of Aug.

Spare car Jim?

I'd call it a kit car equivalent of the Lotus 211.

Picture of mine with the reinforcement after it ripped on a trackday

Was great to see both of you there. My 7 was there too - just not actually driving

Same here
