andrew7 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Locost +4 with Yamaha R1 and paddles There are 16 pics on this site. Don't miss the master cylinder turned sideways, the hand made front spindles and the leaf spring and air front suspension and the electric reverse. The dash with a glove box is being redone, pics when finished. >http://autos.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/Locost_North_America/photos/view/d017?b=8 http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/20070327_175021_7finish_016.jpg http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/20070327_175235_7finish_010.jpg http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/20070327_175413_7finish_013.jpg I thought I'd include the fastest accelerating mammal in the world, at least that is what the book says. In the length of the 7 , 2 strides, she's at 35 mph. Its fun when she buzzes you- 30mph near your leg then loops back to do it again. she leans in like a bike. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/lol.gif http://www.usa7s.com/forum/uploads/20070327_175919_7finish_005.jpg The other updated pics I'm putting in the BEC section to keep it active. andrew72007-03-27 18:07:38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusaLoco Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Cograts fellow BEC 7 owner! It's refreshing to see that others have taken the insight of Mr. Chapman when he said "Add Lightness". Congrats and a Very Happy New Year to you as well! Do you have any pictures of your lightning "air ship" to share? ... especially the paddles ... It's an upgrade ... er ... optional extra I want to add soon. Cheers, BusaLoco Quantum Victus in Septum Meus (Many Victories in My Seven) BusaLoco2007-01-01 14:15:25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusaLoco Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Hey Andrew, That link doesn't work! Can you try again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusaLoco Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Hi Andrew, I think I found the right site. ... Is this >IT? I love your car. . Is the paddle shift cable or direct linkage? . Is >THAT an electric chain reverser? . Are you happy with it? . Does it act on the drive shaft or the half shaft? Cheers!

andrew7 Posted January 1, 2007 Author Share Posted January 1, 2007 Thanks again slngsht. yes Busa, that mine. The paddles are rod linked with a Bell crank to turn the action 90 degrees, same with the brake pedals. The reverse is an ATV winch with a jack shaft to gears on the output shaft before the drive shaft. No half shaft solid axle. The chain jumped off couple times, winter project fix but I don't have to worry about the reverse box breaking and leaving me stranded. I have to say BEC's are made for the track, but harder to drive in town. On the other hand if I want a more street worthy convertible, I'd be driving a Boxster or Mustang. I have a couple small items that need finished for the 777 ralley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Can you guys upload some pics for non-locost owners? I think you have to be members to view the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew7 Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Thanks Busa http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/hurray.gif I'm currently on an old old Mac, web surfing only.No flash drivers and no video or pics. I going to start on the dash and convertible top now. Thanks again for putting them up. I'm sure you'll agree the car comes before the computer. Happy New Year.

BusaLoco Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Don't you think it woud be a good idea (for the administrator) to give us a sub-forum to post the enlightened musings of us BEC guys? ... What do you say slingshot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Are you thinking more of a technical forum? If you guys can keep pumping content in there so it's not a ghost town, I'll set it up. When I first started this, I had tech sections for the major brands, as well as engine, suspension, etc... There wasn't enough traffic. Bike engine section makes sense.
