I have a set on both ends my car and they work well, no leaks at 23k miles. FWIW they are well regarded in the Lotus Seven world, generally...
I've stripped a car using a wire cup brush in a big 7" angle grinder...a lot of work, but it did the job and the primer laid down well on the...
+3...have an earlier version, Miller 172, lots of welding over several years and not a single problem. BTW, get some MIG pliers too, very handy.
yep, I agree...had my Hushpower set up as a side pipe on the drivers side and the tone was great but too loud for me. Piped it to the back and it...
some info is here.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Scheib
I haven't tried a band saw, but do have a chop saw and the downside is that is EXTREMELY noisy in an incredibly irritating way....not good unless...
FWIW there is a little more on the '29 Model A at http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/hrdp_0803w_1929_model_a_touring_car/index.html and...
I did the same with a 7" grinder and a cup brush and it worked great..the primer laid down really well afterwards...never got past primer though
I was surprised to learn that roadsters have very high drag, the numbers are often much different than you might guess... there is a good article...
FWIW I have an FI Zetec in a Lotus 7 clone and get about 24mpg in mixed driving. The aerodynamics are terrible (CD is about 0.7) so this is...
one good tip I got was to pay attention to the sound, there is a distinctive sizzle when you are doing it right, something like an egg frying....
FWIW VDO makes a speedo that that comes with a sensor that uses the driveshaft bolts for a signal and it can be user calibrated, have one in my...
there is a little more info at http://www.kirotv.com/news/16440897/detail.html
sounds very cool, got half way through a Locost build and want to build a space framed Track T someday, sort of a cross between a Seven and a...
Grassroots Motorsports has started building one and has had a few articles in recent issues, there is some info on it at...
only about 30mpg tops...the Seven has horrible aerodynamics, about the worst of any production car (Cd is about 0.7), this is why the top end is...
Dunnell is a British supplier of Zetec and Duratec engine packages, the setup on mine works well but the product support is very poor, nothing on...
yeah maybe, but that is NOT where I saw it, it was on an entirely different car forum. Like I said, Google it, that picture is all over the...
LOTS of RWD conversion stuff and speed parts available for Zetecs as they are used in Lotus Seven clones, have one in mine and love it, plenty of...
sounds good, have only had one I6 but liked it a lot. If trying to make the stock ECU work doesn't pan out, you could get a Megasquirt, it can be...
aerodynamics have a lot to do with it too, some old cars (like mine) are like a brick into the wind and this kills mileage....wonder if there is a...
Don't know the exact ratios in mine as it came with the car, but the spacing is good, AFAIK only 1st gear was changed. From what I've read the T9...
they are fairly compact,which is a good thing in a 7, much more common and well known in the UK , were used on the Mercury Merkur here, and in a...
works great so far (only 2 mos.), shifter has a good feel, and mine has an alternate 1st gear as the stock gear is useless in such a light car....
very cool! I recently picked up a Lotus 7 clone w/ a similar Zetec engine and a T9 trans (typical driveline in modern 7's) and am very happy...
someone posted this on another car forum, makes me smile, and FWIW a better quality copy can be found via google...
I have a Miller 172 (older version of the 180) and it had been great, built a Locost frame with it and many other projects, not a single problem....
Thank you both, bought a couple of universal mounts for parts and looked at the Corvette mount, should be able to put something together....
Put a new muffler on my car (still needs a heat shield and/or flat black paint) and need to support the end somehow, the stock setup wont work....
