I just bought a GBS Zero


Recommended Posts

I've been looking for a Super7 for a while but being in California, it's even harder to find one, SB100 and all that.
This popped up a couple of hours north of me. I talked to the builder who is a really great guy and a retired engineer.
It's from Great British Sport Cars and features a 2001 Mazda Miata drive train.

I was super impressed with the build quality and his attention to detail.
A deal was quickly made.
I can't wait to get it out for a proper drive.

10 days in and I'm having a great time getting to know the car. It needed new tires because of their age (and lack of stick) so I figured might was well put new wheels on too.

Konig Heliogram 15x7 ET35 with Bridgestone RE71RS in 205/50.
Rears fit nicely but fronts needed a 20mm spacer but now fit perfectly.

Are those sun visors available here?

I would bet that Marlin made them as he did the side deflectors. It's just a simple piece of tinted/smoked lexan.

Here are some older pics that the Marlin included. I'll take some more.
I have a different steering wheel now and the red Sparco Sprints have been swapped for black.

Nice work, very similar to my setup, check you driving IAT. Mine is normally just a couple of degrees above ambient. If it still high build a airbox around the filter, There is a LOT of heat in a 7 engine bay.
