    If removing that tube did reduce rigidity, Caterham got it back and more by adding the diagonals within the engine bay (the ones commonly left out since they interfere with the engine block, exhaust, and intake). Its surprising how much those stiffen that whole bay. These tubes also provide a good load patch to a structural transmission tunnel which acts as a torque box or a backbone.

    You know I do have some pictures of the back of a Caterham that is the same color as yours with OH plates. Seeing as its rare enough to see one 7 of any marque at any given time in Western PA, I am going to bet it was yours. I remember several people hanging out around their Locost while we were talking but I honestly do not remember any other details. Regardless I will be attending the 2011 event.

    If it is a requirement that you have it for the defroster, then it heats fine. If you want something to actually warm the occupants, don't bother. I have the one in the first link (Harbor Freight sells it regularly for $9.99 btw). Calling it a heater is a bit optimistic.

    It looks to be wkeeling's Locost.

    Thanks Mike. I ran into him at the 2008 PVGP event at BeaveRun. I had about 1/3 of a frame at that point and some suspension parts. Talking with him and seeing their car was a great source of motivation.

    Sorry - forgot about the profile Russ. I've updated it. Here are a few pictures. I'm still not sure what color to paint the fiberglass parts. I'm using a 2.0L Duratec along with the engine management stuff from a 2007 Focus. Its mated to a 2007 Miata transmission and a slew of other Mazda drivetrain parts. Here is a link to my build log for anyone looking for some reading.

    Hello everyone - a lurker from the Locost board here. I figured it was time to join since I will be part of the driving crowd once the state sends the Locost a plate and title.
