  1. Well, six months into the relationship with your new exhaust, it will only sound better and you won't find it begging you for a reduction in capacity. :cheers:
  2. So . . . mr. scannon . . . did you marry this gal, or just simply flaunt her to the drooling hordes? :toetap05:

  9. subtlez28, Per our conversation, here are the pics of the adapter I'm using on the LS6. X
  10. Bill, Congradulations on your purchase! :cheers: Are you also a member of the Yahoo Birkni Owners Group forum? Lots of knowledge there. If not, contact http://www.texasmotorworks7.com/ and see about getting an invite. X
  11. Duane, Zip ties; they work great. I'm not a big fan of cutting off the excess strap; I've been on the receiving end of having too short a harness. I like to option of additional adjustment, if needed. In fact, I've made some adjustments to the shoulder straps since those pics were taken (moved the shoulder harness three-bar slide to an area immediately behind the seat. Here's a couple of photos that shows the relocated three-bar slide as well as the zip-tied excess strap. Shane
  12. Okay, guys (and gals), I just purchased a Replay XD1080. I'll be using this camera for the first time on Saturday at an HPDE at MSR Cresson. Any pointers on the use of this camera to get the most bang for the buck right off the bat? I'm all ears. :bigear: X
  13. Klasik, If you go to the Brunton factory, you should hook up with Mario Parker while in the area. Mario has a stalker with an LS V8. Mario is retired, has years of track and race experience, has tracked his Stalker and can give you an honest opinion on these cars. He lives on Longboat Key and keeps his Stalker in Tampa. If you want his contact info, send me a pm. My car has an LS6 with an est. 425hp at the flywheel (370rwhp on the dyno). 'Intoxicating' is a good term for defining the car's acceleration. Being form the South, I just prefer to say it 'goes like stink'. If you can live with the fact that A Stalker doesn't quite look at traditional as a Caterham or Birkin (and is a bit raw in comparison), you can buy ALL parts state-side. :flag: X For what it's worth, here is a not-so-good photo of my somewhat non-traditional Stalker. In the photo, I've removed the 17" rolling stock and replaced them with 15 inchers and Avons for an upcoming HPDE at MSR Cresson.
  14. Something to think about. Several ‘car guys’ I know in the Little Rock area keep their cars at a mini storage facility. Another fellow Seven owner I know is co-owner with another automotive enthusiast in a building in an industrial area where they store and work on their cars (he lives in a high rise with garage parking only). There are several reasons for storing a car off property: no adequate storage at the Ponderosa; the insurance company requires that a‘specialty car’ be stored in an enclosed structure separate from the house (garage/shop not attached-not available); and gated security (in the case of a mini storage facility), just to list a few. If it’s an affordable option, keep the ‘all weather’ Cayman, purchase a Seven and keep it off property. When you feel the urge to get some wind in your hair, go get the Seven out and take it for a blat . . . But there’s still the issue of maintenance; and maintenance will be a part of Seven ownership. :rofl:
  15. COLD PHOTO!!! :chillpill:
  16. More HP in a car that already has nearly enough! Your killing me, B. I respectfully request a photo of all new toys with my drool, please. :drool:
  17. Dang the luck! :rofl:
  18. Either that or an Ultraquick! :cheers:
  19. You could always shoehorn the 5.3 into the 7 and tow the truck. :hurray:
  20. I don't have a really good soundtrack, but I do have a first start with the Braille right after the install:
  21. Great work! As for the battery, I have a Braille B2618 in my car. While it's not a cheep battery, it does start my LS6 with no issues.
  22. Over the top!
  23. I have bare aluminum fenders; my solution.
  24. I believe we have a good model to work with. Now, where's our moderator?
  25. Technically speaking, we Stalker boys should be near the top of that list (Brunton) instead of mid pack or so. :toetap05:
