Ade Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Hi guys. OK I know its a USA club, but I'm sure you wont mind a Brit devotee joining the ranks. I live in Rochester, England (Charles Dickens) country, and my car is a Tiger Super Six. Not sure if there are any in the USA, but I've included a couple of pics for now. Engine is a Ford Zetec 2.0 with Kent Cams and Weber 45 DCOE's. Its in bits at the moment due to a winter re-build, ready for the warmer weather! I'd be interested if there are any Tigers out there. Cheers all, Ade
MHKflyer52 Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Hello Ade, Nice looking 7 you have there. Looks extremely clean and highly polished. Please post some more photos of your Tiger when you have the chance. Curious to see more.
scannon Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Welcome aboard Ade, Very nice car. As above, more pictures please. I've lusted after the Tiger with the twin bike engines but couldn't find anyone importing them to the states. How about bringing your car to Canada this summer for the Grizzly Bear Blat? http://www.7cars.ca/grizzly-bear-blat.htm There are threads on the blat in the National Events section of this forum.
S1Steve Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Welcome Ade, We have Seven Owners from all over the world on this forum, so we are glad to have you also. We don't see Tigers over here, so it's cool to checkout yours. Is that your place in the backround ?$?$. LOL p.s. What spec Kent cams are you using.... Steve Edited January 22, 2013 by S1Steve
Croc Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 G'day Ade It is always good when a Brit turns up as there is now someone else other than me who knows what rugby and cricket are! Your car looks lovely - way too clean so I can assume you are a polisher? Welcome aboard!
The Stig Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Good to have Nordic Zbrits on the forum. I am originally from the UK, now living in New Jersey. (Actually in Prague Just now on business). Sweet looking motor!
Ade Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Thanks guys for the warm welcome. Steve, the Kent Cams I have are the KCFZ2001 type. Here's a you tube link of my car. It was built in 2006 and has gone through a few changes since then. I'll post up some better pics later. Its not normally that clean Mike with our climate over here. Not into cricket but love rugby. Can't wait for the Six Nations to start! Ade Edited January 22, 2013 by Ade
powderbrake Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Ade: Welcome to the usa7s forum. Great looking car, very clean, or as we used to say "very sanitary". That frame is unusual, we typically see round tubes, but square and rectangular can be easier, but are typically more expensive.
lancylad Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Brits are welcome,as an ex pat living in Canada I speak from experience. A good bunch of gear heads on this forum. I haven't seen any tigers on the road,I have a Westfield, the tigers have a great following in the UK. Your car looks great. Welcome.
Ade Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 The Super Six is regarded as a bit of a classic and is no longer produced as a kit. it was sold from 1990 until 2008 and mine is one of the last kits sold dating from 2006. It was replaced by the Tiger R6. The "R" standing for "round tube" as in the chassis design. It also has a more modern IRS set-up where mine is a live-axle. The Tiger range is designed by Jim Dudley who used to race Lotus 7's back in the sixties. He wanted to design his own car to race with, and the rest is history. Here is some more information about the various Tiger models. http://www.tigerracing.com/cars.php Ade
BusaNostra Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Ade--welcome! NiCe car... 2003 I ordered a kit for Tiger ERA HSS but fell due to miscommunication on the Hewland transaxle MRK 9 pricing. I don't know if named Laura ring the bell. I still like the car, hopefuly i get another chance to bring it here. http://imageshack.us/a/img145/7973/tigerhss1.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img822/7175/tigerhss2.jpg Like Croc, I love that twin Bike engine too.
Ade Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 Lovely car the ERA HSS, very small but beautiful. Here is a link to all of Tigers current cars. http://www.tigerracing.com/cars.php And here is a video of the Tiger Z100........before Tiff Needell broke it! Tiger Z100 - YouTube Ade
Automoda Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Wow I love that car. I wonder what it feels like to drive a 7 with power going to the front wheels. I dont get the reasoning of having 2 shift levers though. And it looks like if the suspension were set up a little differently it'd get more bite on the launch-- seems to lift the nose quite a bit, and I'm sure that wastes some of that front engine's power. Its a super tiny 7. I like that.
xcarguy Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Ade. Hello from Arkansas and welcome aboard. Great looking car you have. :seeya:
