slngsht Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/slngsht/startup.avi yes, I know it doesn't sound very Seven-like. It all comes apart in 3 days for chassis paint, and skinning.
WestTexasS2K Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Who is that mad man? I think he has a few screws loose if not completely missing. The streets will never be safe again.
MHKflyer52 Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 That is wild and crazy at the same time. I like it. Dose your face hurt from that smile you can see when you walk away from the FRANKLIN 7 after that short engine run.
slngsht Posted June 3, 2008 Author Posted June 3, 2008 We smiled for about half an hour. Today was not very productive... hopefully better tomorrow.
Boxologist Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 We smiled for about half an hour. Today was not very productive... hopefully better tomorrow. use the 7 oz bottles from heineken instead of those little party kegs from costco. u gotta pace urself.
locostv8 Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 ...yes, I know it doesn't sound very Seven-like... Sounds to me like a proper 7.
Arya Ebrahimi Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 It was very rewarding, and so far no major leaks from my first attempt at headers. I'm happy
Sean Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 How long until you end up stuffing a small V-12 in there?
slngsht Posted June 3, 2008 Author Posted June 3, 2008 How long until you end up stuffing a small V-12 in there? heh... no immediate plans. When I can finally tame this beast, Arya has already indicated he wants the bottom end. As $$$ allow, I will swap it with a LS2 bottom end. Direct bolt in and a *few* more ponies. That will be the end of all power mods for this car.

My crank sensor failures have been self induced. The mounting bracket vibrates above 7000 rpm and the touthed wheel becomes a saw. I'm running on 7 lbs and don't know what I would do with 30 lbs. It's nice to hear your monster run. I'm looking forward to a blat with you. Take your time with the aluminum as it will really show.
slngsht Posted June 4, 2008 Author Posted June 4, 2008 I'm already hating the aluminum part :nonod: - and that's just on foot box, etc... Been staring at it for a while tonight. We still have alot of work ahead.
locostv8 Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Thats why my floor/firewall/trans tunnel at least will be steel, if anything is aluminun it will be the outside skin. Put-put will be steel inside and out out of cheap, the outside skin will be an old refrigerator. That way I can say it is a cool car.
