Croc, I see you had an Ultralite s2k could you compare to other 7s you have owned?

Anyone know the make and model of the seats?

Jack, I too have an Ultralite S2k and am interested in a conventional windshield to replace the brookland screens. Wondering if you have a photo of the one you built for US Texas 7? Thanks

got it, thanks!

"Also in the rear, the lower front traverse rod was moved from the vertical bolt between the two mounting points, up to the upper mounting point, and the vertical bolt was removed." Could you explain this? Thanks for all the help

Jerry did you get the tie rods to perfectly level or just close? Not sure my 3.5 degrees from level is really bad or just not ideal.

The angle of the tie rods are between 2.5 and 3.5 degrees off of level...they in fact go upward from the center of the car to the attachment points on the spindle. Moving the rod ends under the spindle would result in them being way further off of level than they are now so not sure how I can level the arms....maybe raise ride height?

Little concerned seems as if the tie rod ends need to move down slight lightly but they are already resting on the spindle

Recently picked up a WCM Ultralite S2k. I have the manual, but had some questions. The manual mentions Charlie using 2.5mm of rear toe OUT per side. Rest of alignment was about -2.5 degrees of camber front, -2.2 degrees rear Front toe was -.2mm per side Other alignments I was able to dig up among forum members typically had a bit less camber front and rear often paired with slight toe in front and often 0 toe in the rear. Never dealt with a 7, but often run 0 toe all around in a Miata used for autocross. I am looking to autocross the car, but for right now I would like to tame a very nervous car(mainly over bumps). I am also looking to shim the tie rod end to level out the rack. Shocks are the QA-1 with 500f/400r springs(I am told, but not sure). Just looking for some direction on alignment.

I printed mine out last week and super appreciative of the info. I intend to do the diff mount update and probably the bump steer fix. Given it is winter in chicago, I have already shined it up, changed fluids, and adjusted the pedals to suit. Really excited about getting this thing on the road!

Thanks for compiling this. Bruce, could you send me the pdf at: imarcr2@sbcglobal.net

Thanks, probably be looking for some help along the way

Finally joining the gang, the ultralite will soon be coming to Illinois

Chuck, call me.....it is the 7 I have been waiting for!!!! I am in west chicago and can come over anytime Imarcr2@sbcglobal.net
