Maybe I should just ramble on over here, who's going to complain? 2 people http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/biggrin5.gif Tell the Web I just ran new horn wiring today.

slngsht Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 One positive thing I have noticed about BEC owners... you guys do seem to produce alot more videos of your rides. Definitely helps me cope with the winter blues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew7 Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 I bet Mazda and V8 guy still go thru life 1/4 mile at time and chances are they still have those way cool mullets. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/rofl.gif Skip, I seen the new suspension systems using air. I have air shocks front and rear but if a front line ruptures the nose will grind right into the ground. The Corvette like front leaf helps with the load and is a backup if I loose air pressure out on the road. Its not like I can press the Onstar button. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/smile5.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely helps me cope with the winter blues. In just a few more weeks (or less) there will be a steady stream of videos from me as the car makes it out to some events. I asked for a bullet cam for my B-day so there will be LOTS of interesting shots and angles coming in the future. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/yesnod.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 when i bought my camaro engine, the guy gave me his mulet http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/biggrin5.gif. Actually, I've never had the rotus to the strip (it will need a 6 point roll bar), and my vette only once, but I do autox both cars fairly regularly. The disadvantage I have in autox is obviously the extra drivetrain weight I carry without being able to use any of it. I'd love to run with you guys in some highspeed twisties though. And look - a little razzing, and the post count in BEC section has gone from 6 to 19 http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/smile5.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several at VIR this spring that you could do. I will likely be at most of them. Then you could realize the "full potential" of the Rotus. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/biggrin5.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scannon Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 OK, so now I know about leaf springs and air springs in a Se7en. What is a squad splitter? Are you doing a slalom through a squad of Marines? Speaking of track days, are there any open track events just before or after the 7/7/07 event I can participate in while I am in that part of the country?

slngsht Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 sorry... I meant quad splitter... you hook up to 4 cameras to it, it produces one composite image of all 4, so you can point one to your feet, one to your instruments, one ahead, and one behind, etc...

The Cobra at 105k still has the original everything including clutch and T5, but is on it's 6th set of tires. Building a blown 41 Willys PU but it has AWD.
