  1. Getting ready to try Z06 titanium muffler. When you removed the heavy stainless strap (2lbs) and the tailpile extensions, you are left with a 7 (what else) muffler. Won't know what the sound level until the 30th, but removing Ultraflow and spiral muffler (over 20 + lbs). This is for a 185HP (rear wheel) Zetec running close to 8K. Wayne
  2. I remember taking a Sunday ride in this car out to the Torrey Pines glider port. Wayne in San Dieo
  3. Mikes car is for sale in San Diego. It is an almost completed kit. Mike made a beautiful carbon fiber dash. The whole car is assembled to his high standards. Mike was killed in his sailplane about a month ago. His widow says to sell it for the price of parts even though it is a roller and has a 2K engine, tranny and ECU. Contact me at "super7guy7@yahoo.com" for more information. Have pictures from this weekend. Wayne Lotus and Caterham
  4. Loren, Mike's wife could use some help to get rid of Mikes car. Write me at "super7guy7@yahoo.com" so we can talk. thanks, Wayne
  5. I was able to machine (hand file) the stock Z3 bracket so that the Geo alt lays into it. Just one long bolt holds it in place and since it is fully supported, the belt tension ensures that it does lift up. I too have a tight clearance on my Cat long cockpit chassis. Wayne
  6. Sorry to say that Mike Wills of Spring Valley, CA was killed this weekend in Utah doing one his passions. In addition to building an Ultralite from kit form, he was also a pilot, His glider was lost around 5pm on Saturday and his body was found on Sunday morning. It appears that he never cleared the mountains. Wayne
  7. Hi, When I was looking for drive shaft hoops to meet the D mod rule, I found that the Jegs/Summit loop was a very good starting point and the price was right; around $12 for a 5" loop, 2" wide of 1/4" material. (YPMV) Of course, you could probably lift the car with this hoop. The trick was to find a way to attach it to the Caterham frame. Wayne
  8. Hi Guys, I had to quiet down a BDA. Used the spiral muffler and two big Ultraflow mufflers to get the job done. Also did the intake side by making an enclosure using 1/8" alloy and picking up cold air from the heater opening. It all worked together well. Wayne
  9. Ian et all, You may be thinking of a spiral muffler. The concept is patented, but both Jegs and others sell them as race mufflers. Our dyno testing shows negligable hp loss. That being said, you still need a muffler with volume. To be really quiet, you need a muffler with a street rating, not a race rating. We have to run under 93 db wide open throttle at 50 ft. Wayne
  10. Hi KYO, Not sure if this is any more readly available, but I used a Datsun 1200 axle, It fits with ease after the mounts are made and is only maybe a 1/2' wider, has a drain plug and much stronger axles. I have a LSD in mine and added a bridge support behind the axle. Wayne "62 Super 7
