So, tell us a little about yourselves

[MV8]

In closing (this thread hijack), I would be sure to document the current timing settings (near zero or retarded initial?) before changing anything. It is normal to build for a lower CR that allows optimized timing without detonation/run-on or excess overlap. Merry Christmas.

I'll do that...it has a management system and is set at no advance presently and has an internal rev limiter.  Thanks, no hi jack issues at all.

This seems like an appropriate thread for an introduction.  Newbie here.  Life-long car fanatic, 30+ season SCCA racer, recently retired, have always wanted a 7 for the street and that's within reach now.  Bid on the blue 480 that was on BaT today, got very very close, but the auction fees, transportation cost and some general unfamiliarity made me a bit cautious.  Have priced a new car (360 and 420), haven't ruled that out, but maybe there is a path to buying and updating an older car that could make sense. 

 

Will read through the threads and hope to learn from that and make a few new friends along the way.

That blue car was very good. But it wasn't a unicorn (unless you're in cali).

 

Welcome and there are plenty here who are willing to help support the 7's addiction.

 

You could also check out the MK Indy, if you're not interested in parting with 60k (i don't blame you).

@Number94  there is an HPc that is pending a sale (says they will know by Jan 6).  In Illinois (maybe near you).

Thank you and yes that's probably close as I'm in the Chicago burbs in the late spring to fall.  Will take a look.  Might be worth making the trip up there.
