Good guys drive Sevens

[lancylad]

Had a great day out today, took a spin up to Calgary and met Stewart who is also(Z3 stalker). Great to finally meet another 7 owner and sit and have a cuppa and talk cars... arrived at his place to find his Baby parked on the driveway, great sight. After a good natter he treated me to a quick trip around some the back roads and also a short highway blat, that car has got some get up and go. The car is a credit to Stewarts mechanical abilities, I am looking foward to getting out and about for a good long run sometime in the not to distant future, both our cars I mean. As long as he remembers that he has 2 more cylinders than I do. Thanks Stewart, oh yes, he has that stupid 7 grin as well, ear to ear, non stop..Good guy, good car.

Steve, glad you could make it over on Sunday; it was good to meet face to face. Nice Westfield, once you get it sorted (carbs) all should be good. Next time I’ll head your way and you can take me for a spin. Regarding my build I have to give credit to Dennis for such a good product it made the build very straight forward. Looking forward to a getting out with both cars in the not so distant future.

Did some work on the Carbs yesterday, fitted new soft gaskets(Misabs) the old one's were in a really bad state. The previous owner had tightened the carbs on to much, supposed to tighten them so there is still a small amount of movement when you pull up on the carb body. Approx 10mm so I'm told. Also changed the spark plugs for the ones recomended by Westfield. What a difference,, checked out the Aux venturis while I had the carbs off and they are to big for the altitude of Nanton. We are at approx 4000 ft here, the car was at sea level in Japan. May have to change the Aux Vents from 4.5 to 3.5. All part of the fun of being a 7 owner. Got to go... time to Blat:driving::drool:
