the sunday AM run on the way to teh AutoX is put to bed. a couple peeps of local subaru club saw it and were nearly close to leaving this week just on that footage. sunday autoX is small but done. i should be burning the friday late night Topaco to (almost) Fontana later this week. the saturday afternoon Hellbender/Wayah loop is getting edited piecemeal. thats the footage that everone saw at dinner. i just need to find out who else was on that drive of six cars. I think it was Rohaley, Frank F, Jeff & Jim Dorsey and I can't place the 2 cars who got caught in the rain and eating in Franklin. edit: i have not even started the footage of the return trip down the Dragon after the "non parade" with Al's ... well its on tape iirc. I think it has my run around teh lower portion of the dam at speed.

cool. i'll send u some stuff from the Dragon. I forgot PNW was this month. I thought it was to start in september.

ur lucky. appreantly i'm leaving a trail of parts in my wake across the USA.:cry:

get in touch w/ caterham USA and see if the manual has been updated for the zetec. the one i have for mine has vauxhaul Fuel injected, but Rover and ford carb'd. no zetec info, but the teh sierra box is in there. hopefully the US program has all the updated info.

ditto

i like to read a new limerick before i go. and sing that one out loud. makes me smile when i drive. :reddevil:crazy smile:reddevil:

Damn mark, glad u were able to walk away. definitely follow up on with a dr aout the neck pain. a little neck pain can turn into years long struggle with back and neck issues after an accident. I sure after everything settles down u will have the se7en redone and attacking asphalt.

some pics from the end of teh saturday drive i have these (and everything else) in much larger size on Webshots. http://inlinethumb31.webshots.com/7966/2479027330099946657S600x600Q85.jpg http://inlinethumb53.webshots.com/7604/2526056320099946657S600x600Q85.jpg

what happends when u have an autoX and jeff and the bike engine out run ya again? that new cage and suspension have better be up to the challenge mazda!

answers my question.

i must join the r&d team and help work on the controls.:grouphug: :party:

T-rex?

also "infectious" :cheers:

i like that road....:yesnod:

the LEO across the way 86s that.

i guess u should take them on leisurely drive around the neighborhood:hurray:

i'd love to see a se7en come out at the end and run him over. it would be just like teh opening scene of Men in Black with the insect finally getting splattered on the windshield.:hurray:

wouldn't reading the site and showing ur coworkers better serve the cause of se7envangelism? shame on u al!:lol:

a hood with large louvers would be ideal. Skip, u are pretty much on the right track that the air is still stuck in engine bay. unfortunately, the easy way to vent is to duct the air to flow underneath the car. and that cause more lift in a car that has too much. definetly get as much piping and the turbo ceramic coated ASAP. Deadbolt enterprises can do the turbo, and JetHot is biggy on pipes if u need leads. if u vent on the sides like i suggested, u should create some sort of ducting or funneling to get the air from right behind the turbo/upipe.

on some of the european sites i see small scoops that are normally used to allow air into the rear of the bonnet near intake on fuel injected cars. if u reverse the direction, it should work as a vent. were the turbo, UP, DP and otehr parts ceramic coated? if not, wrap them. I'd love to have a nose cone that has the top vent that the CSR does to flow hot air out from the radiator. the CSR cone does NOT fit the SV.

keep going to the autoX and trying on everyone's helmet. i'm using an M2005, but for most track events, u will need a SA rated helmet. not sure what speed shops there are near Bing, but if u head towards the Glen u should a better selection. If u make it out to Lime Rock for labor day weekend, u may find other shops there as well.

i got to play with a friends iPhone tuesday night:cool: he hates it. cool technology, and an awesome screen, but does not have enough productivity functions to work as a halfway decent PDA replacement. another friends Sidkick 3 and treo 700 are far superior in that regard. what i found most disturbing was the lack of back up ability, removable media, and cut and paste ability when web surfing.

damn thats nice Loren. I guess eventually i'll be one of the few who will tow a trailer with their 7.:party:

the VIN # is worth it. Even if the S2 is not restorable. Birkin/Deman build time w/ historic or collector plates.

there was a loose, or rather wobbly brass fitting near the back of the tranny right before the prop shaft, and a female plug nearby that i had not notice previously. also a bunch sealed/tied wires that are probably responsible for some CEL codes for damn AT ECU:banghead: I haven't run an electrical tester on the wires from the ecu to the speedometer with the car in motion either. :nonod:
