Joe: Now there's a can of worms! Since I'm guessing you got your through official channels, It will be titled as a kit car. You just go to the Secretary of State, and ask for the forms. You will have to pay tax on it based on the cost of the kit. Save your recipts. Then you will get a temp tag to drive it to the inspection. Insurance may be a challenge. I use Hagerty out of Traverse City. Since your car is new they may insure it as an "exotic". Far cheaper than my regular provider. If you wish to chat it up on the subject you can email or call me.

Good Lord! A Seven in Davidson! What is the world coming to. If you do pick up the Harbor Freight tender use with caution. Like everything they sell, quality contol is questionable. I live in Ann Arbor, and wish you well on the build. Cheers! Michael No officer, the wheel is on the RIGHT side. Red Super Sprint 6 speed clam shells

Brent: Hope the build is providing great entertainment! I have not been on line much as of late (work ) It is about time to tuck Little Red in for the snowy months. All the best to you Patricia & Ben! Michael

Zetec-Crossflow conversion with Webber 3D Ignition
Michael Peterson replied to MikeK's topic in TechTalk
I'm so far behind I'll never catch up! ☹️ Still running the old x-flow. Too many children to go Zetec yet. Better an x-flow than nothing No officer, the wheel is on the RIGHT side. Red Super Sprint 6 speed clam shells -
Starting a car that's been stood for a few years...
Michael Peterson replied to Jaseb's topic in TechTalk
You might want to throw a shot of oil down the spark plug holes. Those bores will be a tad dry. This will also ease spinning over. No officer, the wheel is on the RIGHT side. Red Super Sprint 6 speed clam shells -
Ben! Best of luck in your search. Please give my best to your Mum and Dad. Cheers! Michael Edited by - Michael Peterson on 1 Aug 2004 08:25:15

While away on holiday with the Seven I find it prudent to check the intake and exaust valves. What are the correct clearances to lash the intake and exaust on a bog standard 1700 Super Sprint? Cheers! Michael No officer, the wheel is on the RIGHT side. Red Super Sprint 6 speed clam shells

Mobil 1 0-40 Quick to the bits. Thick enough to stay in the motor. Mind you for hard road, track use, or hot weather 15-50 might be better. No officer, the wheel is on the RIGHT side. Red Super Sprint 6 speed clam shells

We can't get four star on this side of the pond. 100 octane low lead av gas is as close as it gets! No officer, the wheel is on the RIGHT side. Red Super Sprint 6 speed clam shells

Aviation gasoline is too expensive to waste. I siphoned off a gallon and she stopped dripping. I suppose the mess on the garage floor will evaporate 🙆🏻 And now its started raining

It appears that I over filled the tank (in hopes of a looooong blat) and "Red" began dripping fule around the bottom of the tank...... Where is she leaking from? Whats the fix? No officer, the wheel is on the RIGHT side. Red Super Sprint 6 speed clam shells

Red with a carbon nose and wings.... Too naff? I guess we will se how Richard works it all out.

Where could I get some carbon clamshells for my rubbish xflow? 😬

Piers: From your description whomever built/maintained your car is one sorry bloke. I have a bog standard 1700SS with 15000 on the clock. It is has great compression and uses no oil. The car is nearly 15 years old and has yet to show any sign of oxidation. Lets also not piss on Caterham for the Super Sprint engine's short comings. 135 horses is quite a nice tweek on such a limited budget using 80's technology. Love your Caterham, or sell it, but quit whining. Michael No officer, the wheel is on the RIGHT side. Red Super Sprint De Dion 6 speed

Do all Caterhams with the standard track use the same rack, wish bones etc, or are there variations for the dedion and lve axle cars? Cheers! Michael No officer, the wheel is on the RIGHT side. Red Super Sprint De Dion 6 speed

Problem solved!! Turned out to be broken copper strands in ground lead. Slightest movement broke the connection, but insulation hid the damage. Diagnosed by eliminating all other possibilities, and much fiddling with the multi tester. New bike battery is much lighter and fits fine, turns the engine well. Thanks all for the help. Cheers!

Does using sythetic (Mobil 1) improve your high temp lubrication? One would assume that using a 0 w 40 or 5 w 50 would improve your low temp lubrication because of improved flow rates. Awaiting enlightenment No officer, the wheel is on the RIGHT side. Red Super Sprint De Dion 6 speed

Gert is right. Side exaust is an improvement, just keep moving.

1978 MGB, constant [Lucas] electrical problems. 🙆🏻 What fantastic things I learned and experienced with/in that car! Also my favorite car until my first Seven. No officer, the wheel is on the RIGHT side. Red Super Sprint De Dion 6 speed

I have had good success with 100 octane leaded aviation gasoline. Smells nice too!

Chris: Will check voltage and starter/solenoid operation. I have bad words for Banner because I have had two in successive Sevens, and both have been well attended to. Both have failed *thumbdown* Cheers Michael

After being stored for the winter the plonker Banner was dead as peace in the middle east, replaced, starter makes several rapid clicks, but does not spin the engine. tried to jump her, no change. ???????? Any wisdom? Engine is a Super Sprint, 1991, starter is Lucas. I push started the car and everthing else seems fine. No officer, the wheel is on the RIGHT side. Red Super Sprint De Dion 6 speed
