Davemk1 Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Asking for proof of registration more than 15 years ago is a simple and clever way to prove age. I wish I'd thought of that. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancylad Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Canadian Government are trying to make it so that a seven would have to be 25 years old before it qualifies as a classic. They just hate us having fun....I will keep looking for my 15 year car before they pass the law..Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemk1 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) The full listing is now up on the Texas Motorworks site with lots of photos and all the info. I bought the car through Dick Brink at Texas Motorworks an he is first class and I suspect that I will be buying another car from him in the future.

kennyrayandersen Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 It does look like a nice car -- why don't you post a price -- there isn't one listed on Dick's site [that I could see] or posted anywhere. I'm a dork, so I probably missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a dork, so I probably missed it. I think Dick has the price listed on his home page. In any case Dick has it listed for $25K with all spares and race wheels included. If you'd like any additional photos let me know. Thanks for asking, dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennyrayandersen Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 BTW, do you happen to know the offset and bolt pattern diameter on the Race Dynamics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemk1 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 BTW, do you happen to know the offset and bolt pattern diameter on the Race Dynamics? The bolts are 4 on 100mm and I think the offset is 35. I'd have to check. 30 or 35. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Budlite Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Not sure what offset you're running Dave, but the Team Dynamics wheels are available in the Birkin recommended 30mm offset: http://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda-Performance-Parts/Miata/Wheels-Tires/Wheels.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look at the paperwork but 30 they are. If anyone is interested I still have the car. I've had a few serious bites but no one has taken it home. Let me know if you are interested and make me an offer. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemk1 Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 Just to put a bit of closure on this - I ended up trading the Birkin for an Lotus Elise to Dick Brink @ Texas Motor Works and he in turn found it a new home with a Gentleman in Maine named Michael. I'll be sure Michael knows about this site so he can have as much fun as I have here. Stay well and enjoy your Sevens. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Congrats on the sale. It was all pretty quick. You know you don't have to have Se7en to hang out here. Elises are very cool. I look forward to your full report comparing the two cars! Is the auto-x a thing of the past? If not, include details in your big car comparo that I am hoping you do here for our edification.

I plan on checking in periodically to see what's up and to drool over your cars. I just received the Elise on Thursday so I'm just getting to know it by spending lots of time getting it cleaned and checked out. The autocross thing is far from over, I'm just changing classes. For this upcoming season I'll be in SS and the long term plan is to put a blower on the car and move to ASP or XP or something like that. We'll see. It will be fun to have someone to race against in my class for a change. There are a few Elises and a large number of Vettes for me to play with in Montana. I had one of only two DM cars in Montana and the other wasn't serious. Frankly showing up with the Birkin at most events was like showing up with a gun to a knife fight. I did 12 events this last season all across the state. I took 11 class wins, 9 FTD and 6 PAX wins in that car. The one time I didn't win class was taking second behind past National Champ Ron Babb. Ironically the Elise is attractive because it will be a bit slower.......... and the heat and AC will be enjoyed too.......... especially the heat! I hope the new owner of the car joins the group and tries some autocross. He's got a very good car for it. Stay well and Happy Holidays.
