good tme was had by all http://rides.webshots.com/slideshow/558935549EYpaKa slideshow

Skip and I have an extra room in our place over at Fontana. i expected late sign ups. i told a few local lotus members today, and some who never got to the Dragon may come down.

awesome. the devils IS in the details!

its not how much power, it when its coming.

i'm going to see how my extra set of RockBlockers look on my lights. very thick poly film.

seems to be working.

as much as i like the lower economical ford block i have, i'll take a madza small displacement block over a similar sized block. the turbo setup that Skip is using is OLD turbo tech. if Flyin' Miata caught up and R&D'd the twin scroll designs, skip's car would be close to Mazda and R1's mayhem machines.

i'm in.

Sorry Mazda, the above is great news. wish 5oh around here was so cool :crazy: Skip, congrats and we need more videos!

add RLP as a cheater bar too!

the duratec block is about 40#s lighter than the zetec block, and nearly a decade of metalurgy improvements in it. an yes, a caterham will be expensive. maybe consider holding off till u see the other manufacturers at 7-7-07. i have an SV that power and brakewise is pretty basic. its the best thing on the road 99 out of 100 times. but anytime i start dream that i want more from it, the dollar signs get very large. with mods that vary from creature comforts to pure performance any budget can be completely consumed and obliterated very quickly.

shame on you guys. http://www.caterham.co.uk/assets/html/news/current_news_story.html?ID=46

i would opt for the Cossie duratec. or any duratec. better clock than the zetec, svt or not. read up on blatchat.com for thoughts from the larger community. if u start performance optioning an SV, u end up near the price point of a CSR. the extra rigidity of the CSR make it more viable, even with a lesser engine. the CSR comes with the big brakes standard, so thats a bonus right there. from what i read on the caterham UK site, the 6 speed is now made in a "touring" model, so i expect that to have an overdrive. u should check for its availibilty stateside. also the sierra has no drainplug on the tranny. the caterham 6spd unit does afaik. http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=748 Al and my drive over the weekend. Al has the big brakes in a superlight. if he jammed on them there would be no way i slow down, so will eventuallly get them for the heavier SV. even outside of competition, the extra 1" diameter is a big plus with brake torque.

maybe u need 2 caterham owners to drive it across a few states for u:blueangel: :nonod:

we may have to schedule a NEPa blat so we all can meet up.

there are issues if using an different theme. i was not able to get the top banner to display, just the red X of death when using alternate themes in the profile page. :nonod:

u absolutely should have come out for a drive with Al and myself today!:cheers:

Al, please bring ur half doors and half hood. i would like to see them in person before ordering. i will giving the boot bag its test run.

c u in the am. oil change and tyre rotation completed today. got a scare thinking i had burned off all the brake pads and then realized my caliper have a waky pad shape. i'll call in the AM when I get to 78.

pretty specific parts. i know i will be going thru aterham for refills this year.
