Try that. A friend of mine sold a travel trailer for his soon to be exwife for near nothing and gave her the money. these things happen.

Taught my kids to be especially careful of the old junker next to us in the parking lot as it may be all the owner can afford or perhaps belonged to their grand parent who just died, and more valuable to them than our brand new rig. Same goes for wives or girl friends. I too have junk that is my pride and joy.

Was in the local Chairman Mao's junk sale (harbor freight}today and in the trailer section they had some round ones and also some rectangle ones that looked like they would cover the two raised spots on the S1 rear fenders. Might be worth a look, may go back with measurements next time to town. No hurry as my fenders both need repair and the car is down for a heart transplant. John S1 #22

I have little in common with most of the people here, but we all have the cars in common, some of us are not the most polite or smart but we all share a common interest. Please stay! and kick back a bit, life is not meant for worrying. some 65 years ago I got the best advice from a fellow drunk teen " I was not put on this earth to make friends-- that I do by accident" the advice has served me well.

We used to rebuild totals and would never touch a flood car. Floods even fresh water get into places that one would not expect and wait some time before causing misery. It was not ethics that drove this reasoning but protection of our reputation. This still is a "parts car" and hard for me to put a price tag on due to not knowing the Cat parts market but it would top at 16k being generous. Looks like this man either has a car for is collection or is going to shaft someone, blunt statement.

Have both a Miata and a Superformance S1, Both are fun to drive but the S1 will carry more luggage, and is easier on me for long trips, The Miata with Hard top is quieter (not so) and dryer in the rain. At my place the Miata would be the first sold, The S1 is a greater pain in the butt (maintenance) but 1000% more fun. And we here in US have long been lusting after less weight but not at the expense of less power, and would add that the road cars with obscene amounts of power mostly originated on the continent.

Second that motion!! We cannot even find where the original parts were sourced. Mine is gradually becoming a hicost/locost.

In this market; definitely buy! There are some real bargains out there, and you can get all the personal satisfaction you need from the final sorting to your tastes. And as an afterthought- I bought and now have more time in mods and rebuilds than it would have taken to build, these things are labor intensive if you use/abuse them. Last thought; the v6 stalker has plenty of get up and go, and if later you want more ad a turbo to the roots for a real v8 killer.

Disclaimer; " I am a heathen" With that said i respect "christian values" and where from or who created in of no concern if you just practice them. My personal guide line is " be considerate of others" that simple. Yes organized religion is responsible for many wrongs but so is nearly any organized group. Those who do not respond to peer pressure can claim responsibility for their own actions. It is my opinion that the effect good or bad upon the world resulting from various religions is neutral. bad-good=zero effect.

Buy in Denver!! Superformance gives no support for the S1 so one can expect the same here. Many S1 parts are of unknown origin or special made and unobtainable at any reasonable cost, for example my S1 will soon look more like the rest when it needs a new wind screen (easier to build a new frame that houses flat glass that is easily replaced) Buy your car from those who have a history of support for those already sold. john

Run as fast as you can!! It is way over value now. A flood car is only good for parts and then you have to dissemble them down to basic parts and wash the silt off and the treat the rust before use. the frame would be the same all of the interior needs to be treated. These things (flood damage) come back as night mares.

Webers and dellortos are fairly straight forward. Get a book, (follow the directions),, and when done buy or borrow a wide band a/f meter and use it to determine what to or not to change. Modern wide bands make jetting much more of a science than reading plugs. They are costly but dam well worth it. Tip; float level and fuel pressure are the most critical items with either. Add fuel cleanliness to that list. good luck

there a lot of Triton aluminum snowmobile trailers for sale in snow country and at what seems to me as a reasonable price, the quality is good, biggest problem is the small tires used in order to get a flat deck, but they also make a lower narrower deck with wheels outside the deck under fenders, just harder to find used and I am looking for one who's expected lifespan sort of matches mine. And in Utah under 750lbs empty requires no registration nor title.

A couple of summers ago i was given a few laps around the Grand Junction,Co go-kart track (short track?) in one of Flying Miata's LS powered Miatas and there is no way that my S1 could ave stayed with it even with the same driver. hp/kg rules even on short tracks. With that said would still rather have the S1 and a stock Miata for longer trips. nuff power.

If you vote you vote for the wrong people. It has always amazed me that not one of Enron's management died of an unnatural cause in lieu of how many employes and investors lost all. We have the best government that money can buy.

Back to trailers, have been looking at triton tilt bed snowmobile trailers, aluminum, and can be had with a tilting top that may clear a seven. http://www.tritontrailers.com/products/Model.aspx?CatID=31&SubCatID=35&ModelID=529&info=specifications http://www.tritontrailers.com/products/Model.aspx?CatID=31&SubCatID=35&ModelID=529&info=specifications

BTW ow do yall like yer car?

WE are a third world nation and just not swift enough to see it. The barrons are in control and just let us vote.

New york/Canada population is about 4/1 so C anada has about the right number of mri machines considering that many of the MRIs in this country are just about making money. I too like others here was an union contractor and during that time our health care was self funded and we were able to negotiate charges with hospitals and doctors. The cost was still high but everyone was covered. The benefit to me was that my employees were able to spend their time worrying about my jobs and not how to pay medical bills. We were very competitive in spite or because of the higher labor cost. Now I have the very best care-- VA we all should be so well off!! Private enterprise my hinney.

http://www.secondstrike.com/Technical/S1_Installation_and_Service_Manual.pdf sorry forgot about that there were two, the wiring is hard to understand but if you read between the lines it's there. lots of people think that an assembly diagram is OK guess they just do not understand a schematic. let me know if you need more help. john

http://www.secondstrike.com/Technical/S1_Service_Bulletins_and_Tips.pdf this is a direct link to download the pdf file. john

google-- snakebite performance, there web site has a pdf copy that you can download of--"superformance si roadster service bulletins and technical service tips" (very good info) my computer with the copy quit but have a copy on my kindle for easy use, just figured out that all this stuff needs to be on a memory stick, so am going to search and download again, will return later with the link. as to lights dont get frustrated, the mc shop is a good idea, and perhaps assemble your own with some of the led coils found on ebay. that is on my list after the heart transplant (rotary turbo) is complete. These cars are good but it is a pain being an orphan like a Yugo, and some of the components are a cheap comparison to the rest of the car. BTW the headlights are not a damm bit better (ask the black cow). My first step will be some barn burners on front.

Sounds like it is not the temp. that is high but your gauge, check the thermistor (sending unit) with a digital ohm meter and compare to thermistor tables. most sensors are the same resistance so any chart should work. And ten feed your gauge a resistor in that range and see what you get. Also check your wiring connections carefully (including all ground connections} and as a last resort install an old mechanical gauge to check.

forget direct replacement. why replace that that failed? Look on ebay for 12v led lights that can be mounted in your enclosure, that is what I have planed as one of mine is already heat damaged. and they can be much brighter. We own orphans but no worse than a home built and SF did do a great many tings right.

Had same problem with my S-1, it's was a vw/audi of some sort, new were about 40 ea and same as the ones that had rotted away in less than 10yrs. NAPA had shock boots, made in USA that are working fine.
