Hank, Nice looking car. Well done.

Bart, I might be interested in the EARS. How much?

Does anyone have experience with the Vauxhall dohc 16v motor? Are they legal in US? Where are they serviced? What is parts supply like? Etc... Thanks for your thoughets. Michael D.

My car with a 216 hp Zetec and hits 132 on the front and back straights of VIR and the front straight at Summit Point. It is not redlined but almost. It has clams and a splitter with 4 inch cannards on the front that keep the front planted and stable.

Actually Pete has a Gren, Caterham DeDion with his own 250HP Dunnell Zetec. His 2:11+ was exceptional. This was his first day at VIR ever! Way to go Pete. John Meyers was on fire. It was said at the awards gathering that John had the giggest b^^^s at VIR. The only car faster was a 850HP 1974 Cuda and a 600 hp Viper. (Factory supportrd) Folis was in his quick mode with a respectable 2:19+

Folis Jones was the other Seven pictured above. Scott Knott was there for Time Trials with a red Lotus Elyse but he lost a belt and went home early. I just finished a 200 mile break in for th new motor and all is well again.

The track record in a Caerham EP is 1:20 set by Chris Fox. My best time once was 1:25 my normal time is 1:27 - 1:28. Here are some of my you tube videos sorry about the quality: http://www.youtube.com/user/TopDocs7#p/u/4/ybsJNFMKgZo [/url]

Texas Steakhouse is very good. 25 minutes from the track. You could also stay in Charles Town at the Holiday Inn Express only 8 miles from the track.

I have a set of UPS scales that will go to 1,200 lbs (300 each) Not much point of watching weight over that ;-) Currently they are out on loan.

Upper and Lower A arms with brake lines Rear control arms Windshield Washer fluid bottle Front STD Anti-Sway Bar Tail Lights Side muffler/cat combo and tail pipe assembly Several sets of springs Stock diff AVO Race Shocks Pricing is a half of the new price of the Caterham. Quantity discounts may apply. :-)

How about the lightest "Licensed/Taged" Seven?

I was checking for a friend back then.

Kodiacs site did not list the weight. If you liked Toms' he copied mine so the weight should be about the same. Yo can play catch with my wheel and tire combo. That's how light they are.

I have 4 Kodiak 13x10s for sale. They are mounted with Hoosier rain tires and used only three events. As you know new ones are $456 each with a long wait. They could be yours for $2,000 but they are on hold now for another driver until June 20th. Michael D.

Karen and I will be arriving Saturday afternoon. Driving the Z3 as the Seven is getting a new engine. See you all there. Michael D.

It should have read 50 dollars. BTW the plastic is a bit yellowed.

I have a used set I But they don't work on my 2000 Caterham. I paid %40 +S&H.

Refurbished T-9, Proper shaft for Birkin, Standarg gears. Photos here: http://www.topdocsracing.com/pdf-links Contact Michael D. michael@mjdpc.com

Reason, See 2000 Caterham for sale.

Sorry for the delay, been busy. Answers below: I have always wanted a Seven and an FIA Cobra, I decided a few weeks ago to put the Seven up for sale. Once sold I will buy a FIA Cobra (replica) and have fun with that for a while. Once I have driven that for a while I will likely get a CSR with 260hp. While at Summit Point last Saturday my engine blew. So the car is now at Quicksilver Racengines in Frederick, MD where they a building a NEW engine for my car. I am not rebuilding the old one. The new motor will be stronger then my last one which was 220 HP. It's not like I am in a hurry or anything. I am having a New motor put in so I can continue having fun while I am waiting for a buyer. The "red" item on the front is a removable splitter which is connected to and supported by canards on the side of the nose. I added it for track use as it provides stability over 120 mph by countering the lift from the clam shells. I painted it and the roll bar red to make the car a little more visible to the ocassional car that gets in front of me. Yes. I put the wide track and the Watts on the car about five years ago. No problem with ny 15" 205 Toyo 888 street set up or my 13 x 10 x 20 road and autocross slicks.

This beautiful car was the first factory Caterham Zetec in the US. The car was modified by Caterham in England to fit the Zetec and then shipped to Frank Bolton in Atlanta. Frank was the US distributor at the time. When Mr. Bolton sold the distributorship to Jon Nelson he sold the car to George Alderman of Mid-Atlantic Cateham. george then sold it to me. I replaced the stock Zetec engine with a New ZX3 motor from Ford Racing and had Mid Atlantic make the initial upgrade of cams and throttle bodies. The final and current tune and cams and all subsequent engine maintenance has be performed by Quicksilver Racengines. As of May 5th, the car is at QuickSilver Racengines receiving a New Motor.

The look great. Nice job.
