wcmgoldie, I use a carpenters framing square to measure roll bar diameter (see picture). Place the framing square on the roll bar as shown. Measure the length read across the edge of the framing square where intersects the apex of the roll bar. Double this measurement and you have your diameter. Try these guys for aluminum roll bar clamps/mounts: http://www.colemanracing.com/Search.aspx?k=roll%20bar%20bracket X

The Devil is indeed in the details; this is what seperates the men from the boys. Press on. :cheers:

Now that I have WMC fneders on my Stalker, that hits much closer to home. May I vent with you . . . :cuss: :cuss: :cuss: to the tenth power.

Duane, Congrats!!!! How is the registration moving along? X

You might asked Sharkey if he can help if you end up needing to leave the car before the sell. X :seeya:

Sounds like you possibly have short. Check for chaffed wiring. One possible 'old school' way to check is to remove all the exterior turn signal bulbs and replace them one at a time. As each bulb is replaced, turn on the turn signal for that particular bulb. If the bulb illuminates and stays lit, then no chafing on that particular wire. Do this with each bulb until you find the one that blows the fuse (chafed wire). If this doesn't work, try replacing the flasher.

7 plus 2, Welcome. You'll enjoy this forum; knowledgeable, friendly, fun, entertaining. As for pictures (attachments) use the 'Go Advanced' feature when you post and hen use the 'Attachment' (paper clip icon) feature, Then, browse for the picture/s you want to load . . . that'll get you started in the right direction.

The link I sent shows the deck height for the 2.0 as being: 216.92mm (8.540 in) And the deck height for the 2.3 as being: 227.92mm (8.973 in) An 11mm difference X

I don't know actual dimensions, but I did learn from my previous Birkin ownership experience that the 2.3L Duratec is a bit taller than the 2.0L Duratec. The following link may provide some answers: http://duratec.wikispaces.com/Duratec_Engine_Specs X :seeya:

Kitcat, Just to clarify, I'm not driving; not my car. The orange car from which the video was shot is a Stlaker with an L67 (supercfharged V6). I'm not sure of the HP. Before my own Stalker received its current LS6 powerplant, it had an L67 and made around 270hp at the crank. The yellow car leading the pack is a Stalker with an LS3 (previously owned by John Meyer). This car, at the time, was making 530hp at the crank. As for tires, I'm not sure what these guys were running in that day. HOTTTCAR on this forum could give you the specifics on the L67 Stalker as I think he built the car. As for the other cars on the track, a handful were Birkins, one a Lotus Super Seven S4, and another a WMC Ultralite; not sure what else. The video was shot during the Southwest Sevens Festival. To the best of my knowledge, it was a dedicated Seven event. X

Several Sevens on the MSR Cresson 1.7 cw course.

Anyone have results with a Replay XD1080? I have one and am happy with the video quality and the camera’s user-friendly features, but sound quality is an issue . . . yep, it pretty much sucks. I have the Replay lavalier mic and have tried several different locations with no good result; have not tried under-hood yet, but have considered this option. Willing to try another (better) mic with this camera, but not sure what will work. Guidance appreciated. X :willy_nilly:

Great shot. It's poster time again. Needs to be hanging on the wall in large print. . . . Sorry about the rain

That gives new definition to the term 'getting hosed'!!!! :party:

During my last track day, I placed the mic underneath the dash feeling sure this placement would 'do the trick'. And off I went for six twenty-minute sessions. That night, when I got home, I realized that realized that I had never turned on the mic! ARRRGGGG!!!!! :cuss: My mic wasn't up me arse, but something else was. :svengo:

That's :smilielol5: I'm glad I'm not the only one having mic issues. I can't seem to find a good spot for mine either.

Looks great, Mike. :cheers:

Hats off to KTVU apology: http://youtu.be/mPNl2S30MF8 X

Pumpkins should be outlawed and Halloween canceled indefinitely.

If banned NASCAR fans do happen to show up at the Austin race, don't worry; they tend to to migrate to the left hand-only turns. Good seating elsewhere.

Sorry about spelling errors in the last post, pecking this out on the Bat Phone and spell check sometimes has its way with me. :/

The safety washer is worth a try for oassing ibspection. Personally, I have always run safety washers on any 'open-ended' hiem in the unlikely event of the hiem joint incurring a hard (catastrophic) failure. I refer to a hard failure as when the hiem housing separates from the spherical joint and, in turn, the hiem housing separates totally from its mounting point a slips over the retaining bolt while leaving the spherical joint inplace. A safety washer, placed directly over the upper/opened end of the hiem joint, would aid in keeping the hiem housing in place if a hard failure occurred. Even if the car could pass inspection 'as is', I would still employ the use of aafety washers.
