  1. I hope things settle down over there. Glad everything is okay.
  2. Congrats! Hope you and your wife enjoy your new Superlight.
  3. I'm running 15s in the front and 16s in the rear.
  4. The tunnel and backpanel were custom made out of aluminum by someone else. I like the new tunnel far better than the cheap fiberglass original. I also had driveshaft loops fabricated to go under the tunnel.
  5. Sounds like you had quite the adventure. Glad you and your Seven arrived safely. Look forward to seeing photos. Mike
  6. Looks awesome Stephen! Console didn't work?
  7. How's your Birkin coming along Jason?
  8. Danny - diffuser came powdercoated semi-gloss black. Canards are from Carbon Fibre Mods out of the UK. Shipping was very reasonable and quick. http://www.carbonmods.co.uk/Departments/Kit-Car.aspx
  9. Saw this on LotusTalk... http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/bar/1826363054.html
  10. a couple of finishing touches... ...perforated leather shifter boot and bezel... http://i36.tinypic.com/5le3up.jpg ...awesome Seven badge crafted by KiwiBirkin http://i37.tinypic.com/m6ici.jpg
  11. That sounds nice. I wish I had the space for both my cars and wood working equipment.
  12. I bought it from Dick at Texas Motor Works. I paid $200. It is made of aluminum and the build quality is excellent.
  13. Thanks everyone for the compliments. My inspiration for the work I've done on my Birkin has come from all of the awesome cars on USA7s.
  14. Thanks! I have friends driving both cars up to a car show on Sunday. I get to follow them up in my Toyota Corolla.
  15. I really like my new Sector 111 micro mirror. Installation required fabrication of the mounting bracket... http://i33.tinypic.com/23qwqu.jpg
  16. I've spent the last couple of months working on my Birkin that I purchased last February from Marine7 (Jason). Here are a few pics... Before: http://i37.tinypic.com/313j1ci.jpg After: http://i38.tinypic.com/21exjwz.jpg http://i33.tinypic.com/23w8nba.jpg http://i36.tinypic.com/2qujkzn.jpg Lots of visual mods - most noticeable is new paint, Enkei PF01 wheels, carbon fiber fenders, rear diffuser, mocal fuel cap, Sector 111 micro mirror, driveshaft loops and custom aluminum console, & lots of cleaning and polishing. Tonight I am installing a set of carbon fiber front carnards. Bad news is I cannot drive the Birkin or Elise because of my back brace.
  17. Looks great - I cannot wait to see pics when finished.
  18. All of my experiences have been very positive - except one... My electric fan kicked on outside of a bicycle shop and drained the battery down to a point that it would not start upon returning to the car. I asked a guy who just got out of his Porsche and was heading into the bike shop if he would kindly push me out of my spot, so I could attempt a rolling start down the hill. My plan was pop the clutch and start my car. This guy looked at my Birkin, rolled his eyes, then made some under the breath, but loud enough to be heard comment about my car being a piece of sh!t. As he reluctantly walked over to assist, I told him thanks but no thanks.
  19. Beautiful car and photos. Agree with comments three and four in their entirety. Have fun! Mike
