the killer on this is that it requires a Greant wheel. if it was compatible with my Momo steering wheel, it would be very worth while.

got some top down driving for the first time in 2+ months. very cold and windy at the beach.

yup, some sort of oil, PB blaster is my ilk, and then torch the offending bolt or nut for a bit and then let it cool down.

i'm going over the numbers and it appears CHOICE VOIDED won. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/party.gif

try GT Classics in va. i'm curious as to CC USA other plans.

i sorta like choice voided http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/patriot.gif

jeebus, how powerful was ur 7?

not on throttle bodies, but the 7 started fine on saturday night. my fuel pump is constantly audible till i start letting the engine and exhaust take over noise duties! http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/hurray.gif

put up a close up picture of teh 1/4 turn fasteners when u get a chance. are those the caterham doors or JJ's? i'm debating what to get next, i like the look that mimic the lower half of the full doors, but don't think i need the carbon fibre ones from Fluke. PS. bring the table to 7-7-07! http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/rofl.gif

have the sway bars been changed? also, the exhaust tip seem to be angled slightly downwards in its initial orientation.

soitanly

i use a pair of rebok water slippers and some thin soled leather walking shoes. i wanted Pumas, but they are a bad fit for my short and wide feet. everyone should fidn a place that sells the shoes locally. i like the look of pilotis, RacecompEngineering/GT Worx sells them online, but i think i will be back wearing a pair of asics wrestling boots again.

many thanks to Gert to for putting up his Birkin and his roadside metal fabbing skills http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/wink5.gif I was wondering what he talking about on CCC http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/wink5.gif i hope the writer was a better passenger than a writer. if he acts like writes, on the east coast and i leave him in the middle of the night on the west side highway to be sodomized by the homeless. NY represent, y0! http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/rofl.gif

good weekend of developments with the exception of my ebay account getting hacked. spoke with Skip Cannon, we have our cabin reserved from thursday(5th) night thru monday (9th). So i am definite for road travel on thursday. just throwing this out, anyone think we could get pics infront of Monticello?

i had some seat time in a Birkin a few hours before i sat in the SV i would buy. the birkin was a s3 sized car, and had a stero + speakers and other little bits that couldbe nice. the SV is plenty spacious. i'm not a big guy, but having also been in an actual s3, its nice to actually hav a little space to sort of rest ur left foot. my SV becomes an almost daily drive when the weather warms up, so reliability is a critcial issue. as much as i find pleasure in working on my cars, driving the 7 gives way more pleasure! coming to 7-7-07 will allow u to expirience all the different drivetrains and how they deliver power. that will be an immense help in deciding how much power u need and when it occurs. do deide on a v8, v6, 4 cylinder, FI(like skip) or a bike engine. personally, the duratec is becoming an excellent lightweight tuned engine. and i see caterham is now offing the 6 speed in a touring designation. that probably has an overdriven gear.

if a pedigree is important, than yes, Caterham is the true lineal descendant of the Lotus 7. but since u have to drive the car, u should find one tat fits u best. coming to 7-7-07 will give the greatest exposure to all the makes.

Skip, u interested in splitting a cabin at fontana if still available?

i suspect that attendance will be in excess of what Al is expecting. My fear is poor weather and many of us will contemplate not coming. ABSOLUTELY NOT! i would bring one of my subarus and attack the dragon with that, an I suggest anyone who considers not coming due to inclement weather to just bring their tin top!

yeah, scratch that then. i'd like to get home before Labor day http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/smile5.gif

64/81 is no problem. GT Classics is by I-64 so its all good. is there decent sized rest area near there? how long is the drive thru Shenandoah national park? I was considering driving that road on the trip back.

the wheel may, but probably not the 225 tyre.

i would have to say then stay with the same size all around. u'll probably get better advice on the next CCC blat.

Stan, how much power are u putting down? on my 7, with a stock zx-1 zetec, i have 5 of the same size tyres. thats at 150 crank hp. i understand why more powerful setups go to staggered sizes, as traction for the drive wheels can quickly overwhelm the traction needs of the steering wheels.
