New 7 Owner (after 40 years of waiting!)

[the_rainman]

Hi everyone...

 

My first official email on the list as a 7 owner...

 

I have wanted them since i saw them beat the Vets in 60s clubsport racing at Green Valley Raceway near Dallas...

 

I bought one from Dick Brink in Arlington Texas. Every owner i have talked to so far has been very available and helpul. I can already see that this is a tight knit community and i want especially to meet with all the other 7 owners in the Metroplex general area!

 

A little about the car itself first......its a 1988 Caterham 7 with De Dion and LSD, uprated suspension and radiator... frame, etc are all in good shape...

 

Its engineless now and will be putting a Zetec 2.0 in it, probably pure stock at first...

 

Now, i just gotta figure out how to set it up to be very reliable as i plan to drive it alot...want reliability and driveability above all...

Be sure and check my Zetec parts wanted email in the parts section of the list! We are missing a few pieces and i want to see if i can find any of them on the lists before ordering...

Welcome aboard Randy,

 

The stock Zetec is a good choice if you plan a lot of miles. Mine has just come up to 10,000 miles and hasn't missed a beat... but I'm thinking of a cam upgrade sometime soon, fingers crossed :crazy:
