Look for a 50 amp fuse; external of the fuse panel. :smash:

jlumba81, Just a thought; do you have a main (50 amp) fuse? If so, is it blown?

A few shots from the day. :cheers:

I'm here. Checking in at the Fairfield as I type.

NJMP tech form: http://www.njmp.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/NJMP-Tech-Form-2014.pdf

Since John won't commit on the Westie, I will ; how about Purple People Eater? A member needs to purchase this car and bring it into the fold.

I looked at the 2000 Birkin(Tom's listing) up close and personal a few years ago. From what I remember, it was nicely sorted and the air intake box was a hand built aluminum unit.

Sorry, Skip. I meant slngsht. OPh well, message recieved. :cheers:

Great news! My daughter's picc line was removed today!!!! :party: Now it's ‘wait and see’ how see responds to being off the antibiotics. Having her come off the picc line at such a late date means the family will not be coming with me to New Jerrsey, however, my father will be joining me; a brand new experience for him. The time at home will give my daughter a full week to convalesce before we head to the beach once I return from the USA7’s event. As of this evening, I’m registered :hurray: and will be leaving in the morning. Rain or shine, I’ll see you guys Thursday. :seeya: . . . . . . . . . . :cheers:

PM scannon (user name; forum admin). He can help.

LOL!!!!! Mike, I envision a man who looks as though he was just rolled in a barrel of flower. I suppose we can respectively change our forum names to 'slick' and 'powder'. :smilielol5:

On fleabay; http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replica-Kit-Makes-brunton-super-stalker-RACE-super-stalker-lotus-7-autocross-supercar-lotus-7-/151338705845?forcerrptr=true&hash=item233c7d63b5&item=151338705845&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

Actually watched you and the Stang last night (number two viewer, I must be a fan). Awesome sound, awesome car, I want a ride. I promise not to drool (too much) on the seats. :drool: And you're gonna have to tell those Bowtie boys :cuss: that giving a point by to a Ford isn't the end of the world. :cheers:

Getting antsy; ready to see it on the road. :cheers:

Man, I guess I see this from a pilot's perspective; my track day check list is seven pages long. :rofl: Last night, the Storker got a 'much needed' bath by default (was going to wash it anyway before the event, but not what I had planned). I have a foam cover over the 'pressure relief valve' side of the Accusump . . . in case it ever decides to burp oil; think of it as an adult diaper for those embarrassing, just-in-case moments in life. It was around ten p.m. and I had just finished tweaking the precharge on the Accusump when I decided to remove the foam cover for inspection. Once the foam cover was removed, I accidentally tugged (just ever so slightly, mind you) on the pressure relief valve. :ack: When I did, I gave the Storker, and everything else within a twenty-foot radius, a 60 psi burst of warm Mobil 1 5W-30 synthetic; it was a generous coating to say the least. Afterward, it was hell, high water and all hands on deck; break out the soap and the Clean-Rite Purple Power. :willy_nilly: A bit over two hours later, I turn out the last light and locked up the shop. There are some positives to this: a) the Storker is the cleanest it's been since birth; b) the Accusump precharge works very well; c) the Accusump pressure relief valve also works very well; d) warm oil is good for dry skin. . . . . . :banghead:

Tom, and others, Still forging ahead to be there. Was hoping to be registered by the weekend, but still awaiting a confirmed head count. I should be registered by Monday afternoon/evening at the latest. Right now, my father will be attending with me. I sure hope someone can give him a right seat thrill ride; he's never done/been to anything like this before. Shane . . . . . :flag: :cheers:

Paul, Unless it's the norm for the crossflow coolant system, a 7 psi cap seems like a very low pressure cap. I use a 21-25 psi cap for my Stalker's coolant system and can run in the 230F range when on track (pushing the car hard) with no coolant issues. To help put this in perspective, I was running an 18 psi cap prior to the 21-25 psi cap and my car would consistently run hot (puke coolant) above 210F. 210F is a normal coolant temp for an aluminum LS engine, however, my engine will consistently run 180F on the highway under normal driving conditions. While I'm comparing apples to oranges concerning cars and power plants, physics be physics when it comes to temp and pressure. You might want to rethink the 7 psi cap. My two cents. Another consideration; if you have recently changed the coolant (assuming you did because of the valve job) did you get all the air pockets out of the system? If not, this will only compound the high temp/overflow issue. Also, might be some useful info in this thread: http://www.usa7s.net/vb/showthread.php?t=9719 . . . . . :cheers:

Grouchy? . . . Nonsense! You were just being yourself. :smilielol5: Besides, I'm the one that started all this by asking for directions when they were right in front of me the whole time, which solidifies the belief that men should NEVER ask for directions. :smilielol5: Now, about those pain killers . . . . you were saying . . . . ? . . . . . . :cheers:

twobone, The first thing that comes to mind is air pockets in the system. Also, did you go back with the same mixture (all water, 50/50, etc.) or did you change it a bit?

Ah, yes . . . The old 'helpful information memo''. That explains a lot.

Okay, somewhere on here was a post about the best exit to take in Millville (staying at the Fairfield) so as to avoid a sharp RH turn w/ trailer . . . or something to that affect . . . can't find it. :rofl: Can someone please throw that back on the table? Thanks. :cheers:

John, Again, welcome. I have a true admiration for builders who travel to the beat of their own drum. I did a home-built 26 track-T a few years ago and it took me about two years form the first weld to the last bolt. And thanks for answering the question about the grill; I do hope Speedy Bill got to see this before he moved on. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

John, Welcome to the forum. And I think you should seriously commit to doing the trip in your car. Ditto on more info about your ride. Being an x street rodder, I'm really curious about that grill. :cheers:
