  1. Barely can see it in the first picture. :ack:
  2. Glad to help. :seeya:
  3. Mike, May want to list this in the Parts For Sale / Wanted threads.
  4. I would say that my wife is as much an owner of my car as I am. Here are a couple of shots of her getting ready to take our kids for a ride; one in a Birkin at MSR Cresson in 2009 and the other in our Stalker earlier this year.
  5. Oscar, Before I went with my current wheel/tire combo, I used adapters on my Stalker. The adapters were custom built by A-Dapt-It USA. I have links below to my build file from back then as well as for A-Dapt-It USA. http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=7111 http://adaptitusa.com/ If you look at some photos (or the real thing) of the earlier C6 Corvettes (1999 for example) it might give you an idea of what different front and rear wheel sizes will look like on a car. The C6's had 18" rear wheels and 17" front wheels. For what it's worth, here is a photo of a track roadster I built. I used 16" on the rear and 15" on the front. http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=21040
  6. It has a Maserati 'Birdcage' appeal . . . I like.
  7. Lots of places to list. These few may be of interest. http://www.lotusowners.com/index.htm http://www.coilovershock.com/free_classifieds1.htm http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites http://www.carsforsale.com/ http://www.locostusa.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=40 http://www.autotrader.com/
  8. Oh, great! And here I've been going around bragging to all my car buddies about how I know a guy who has a car like mine with a spine-splitting .5 lb/hp. Now my image is forever tarnished and I have to eat crow . . . thanks alot! :banghead::smilielol5::bs: On a more serious note, good luck with the sale.
  9. Gale, I believe you are right. In Sept, I'll be back at MSR Cresson; I think the same weekend you guys will be wrapping up the Ambush. Hopefully, I'll get some decent on-track vids with motor.
  10. And I thought Se7ens were small! :dupe:
  11. Well, there is simply something about the Audio-Technica ATR-3550 Lavalier mic that my car does not like. After trying several different mic locations, the whine/squeal would not go away; at best, it became sporadic—mysteriously disappearing and then suddenly reappearing. I finally reverted back to using the Replay-supplied external lavalier mic, and presto, my whine/squeal problem vanished. The following video clip was shot using the Replay camera with the Replay Hard Wire Car Adaptor (external power supply) and the Replay external mic (covered with an aftermarket foam windbreaker). The mic dB on the editable text was set to factory settings—33 dB (I’ve since edited the camera dB to 59—max setting—but have not had a chance to try it out). In the video, the mic is positioned underneath the rear cover, between the fuel tank and the bulkhead. Since I have a diffuser on the car, this area is fairly well isolated from wind. The best sound spots in the video are at 2:10, 2:50, 3:30 and 4:36. At 3:30, I do a series of quick shifts in the 5-to-6k rpm range.
  12. I either cheated . . . or I was in Kalispell a couple of weeks ago . . . or both :smash:. Okay, I was in Kalispell and Cranbrook on a company trip in late July; even had a sandwich and wings at Nickel Charlie's. I would never have looked up where you were had I not seen Kalispell on the road sign. Since I had also been in Cranbrook, I wanted to know if you were in Canada or Montana. Curiosity got the best of me. :seeya:
  13. slomove, In the video, before you make the turn, does the road straight ahead take you out to Kicking Horse :deadhorse: reservoir?
  14. Looking Good!!! :cheers:
  15. JeffC, Thanks for the input. I have not tried using the internal (battery) camera power with an external mic. Once I get strapped in the car, It's a) hard to get to the buttons on top of the Reply with camera sitting above and behind me and b) it's easier to plug it in an external power supply and allow the camera to turn on and record automatically. No MSD on my car, but the mic was positioned next to ECU wiring and almost directly in front of the ECU. I'm going to try moving the mic first and then go from there if I still have noise issues. X
  16. Going to do more testing today. I'll post results. Tom, now that's funny.
  17. I built a jig to adjust toe. Works great. http://www471.pair.com/stalkerv/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=20063
  18. Might contact the seller and negotiate on this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CAR-TRAILER-CAR-TRANSPORTER-CAR-HAULER-DUAL-AXLE-FORMER-U-HAUL-TRAILER-/111139314567?_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&forcev4exp=true X
  19. twobone, Sounds like the angel on your shoulder has the louder voice. X
  20. Awesome bird . . . ah, Caique. I can certainly see where he gets his name. Some of the 'birds' that manage my 401K could take a few money-management lessons form Crayola. :seeya:
  21. Fab up your on key cover. :jester:
  22. Okay . . . so, ahh . . . explain the bird. :jester:
  23. May you prosper in your opportunity and own another Se7en soon. :auto:
  24. Way ta' get'r done!! :hurray: Ready for some video. :jester:
