How long are the spacers on your car? Jim said his were 3-4 inches in length while rss and I also have different lengths.

Does your "long bolt" have a spacer as well? Mine has a ~1 inch long spacer on it though I dont see how that would reuce chances of failure. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7421/9753040601_78efac1cae.jpg

Are you local to the Bay Area? If so you should join us for the 7s picnic in Los Gatos on the 21st.

If you are looking for an original 7 check out this one in OR being sold by a GGLC member. Sounds like a better value for a similar price: http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/carsforsale/lotus/super_seven/1592767.html

You also have multiple Sevens showing up to almost every GGLC (http://gglotus.org/) Autocross and track day. I know there will be at least two of us at the Thunderhill track day next thursday (12th) Also if you want to check out a build in progress both DietschWerks (http://www.dietschwerks.com/) and Kampena (http://www.kampena.com/) are currently building CSR 260s for customers.

Dont seem all that small to me http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8463/8103188700_c86351e09a.jpg

Wikipedia requires citations for authenticity but we dont have to have them. We'd only have to worry about authenticity if we have issues with vandalism etc. We could also uses links back to the original source (Romans thread, my blog, etc...) if available. You can always print the wiki pages and/or see them on a phone/tablet.

The (62?) S2 in the middle of this pic belongs a woman who has owned it since at least the early 90s http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3668/9217685732_4e58ed6127.jpg And this Caterham is shared equally by a couple http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3685/9552741652_d1e99211ac.jpg

It would be a good idea to have a single doc. Maybe make a wiki - either host it on the WCM site or I could host it on my server. In the meantime I've been documenting my stuff (diff brace, fuel cell, brake bias, etc...) on my blog: http://www.rahulnair.net/blog/tag/setting-up-a-seven/

I was wondering why it was taking you so long to do the mirror - didnt realize it was a full scale engineering solution. If it works at the next Thunderhill day I may just copy it :-)

Where are you located? You might be able to find a local owner to try fitting into the car

I wear size 13s and can operate both my WCM Ultralite and a Caterham SV in racing shoes (I prefer Oakleys, Pilotis were a little too wide). No chance in sneakers though. Never tried an S1 or a Cat S3 (my knees dont fit under the dash). You can often move the pedals further apart as well. How tall are you? If the S1 pedals move then you will have less room further down in the pedal box.

I think you need mudflaps now

I recently drove the Seven from SF to Seattle and back (http://www.rahulnair.net/blog/2013/07/14/setting-up-a-seven-roadtrip-to-wlcm-2013/) and would strongly recommend the coastal route over I-5. It is both more interesting and a lot cooler. If you make it down to SF we should have a dinner/get together with the local Seven owners.

AAA Premier coverage includes 1 tow for up to 200 miles and 3 others of 100. You could theoretically chain calls together and get 500 miles out of that. Extra miles have a set cost per mile. You can also get in touch with local Seven and/or Lotus owners who will be happy to help if you have any issues. Once you decide a route and dates we should be able to get you some local contacts.

Just replied to your post in the other thread: Helmets are good sense especially if your car has brooklands screens instead of a windshield. There is enough crap kicked off both our own tires and the cars in front that I drive with a lightweight full face racing helmet 99% of the time. For the few short neighbourhood trips (

And good sense especially if your car has brooklands screens instead of a windshield. There is enough crap kicked off both our own tires and the cars in front that I drive with a helmet 99% of the time. The few short neighbourhood trips that I dont I always wear ballistic sunglasses instead. Never had to worry about it. People ask me the same thing about driving my Elise and Miata before that but I dont really see much difference between them and the Seven. Inattentive drivers wont see an H1 Hummer either so size of car only really matters in the aftermath of the accident. With the much better stopping distance and agility of our cars I hope to be able to avoid said accidents instead.

Driven through San Francisco city streets many times. The main issue for me is parking as I both need a safe spot and want to be close to my destination so that I dont have to carry my helmet and toolbox too far. I find highway driving to be scarier than city driving as the speeds are higher and you have less time to react to a moron.

Little bit of both I think. The car was 2600 lbs and 470 hp on 25 year old tire tech while the owner of RUF used to call the driver Sideways Stefan.

Someone dug up a high quality version of the RUF Yellowbird lapping the ring. It has a couple of full laps rather than the quick clips they showed in the original 1987 video.

The weather was the one sucky part of the trip. Had it been 10 degrees cooler it would have been a much more enjoyable trip like the parts I drove down US-199

Apparently an intern at the NTSB confirmed the names for them before they went on the air.
