Re: it will be back on the road soon...

Looks like a fun project.
I hope to make a Super7 someday.

Re: it will be back on the road soon...

How's the project going? i haven't seen many updates lately. I really want to see how that 7 drives! I'm thinking about building a car for autocross, but it'd probably be rear engine. Where can you find 7s?

Re: it will be back on the road soon...

caterham was a lotus distributor in the 70's and took over the super 7 body style when lotus decided to move on to newer projects. the first lotus super seven came out in the early 50's.

Re: it will be back on the road soon...

I have been thinking of getting one of the caterham kits of the super seven but I see that on the UK site you can get sections of the kit at a time. This will be better for me because of the extensive changes that I have planed for the kit. Anyway I was wondering if anyone has worked with them in something like this or should I call them and find out? Anyway I will post more when I start to advance on my plans… anyway all I can say now is some slight body modifications, and major chassis modifications to handle the twin turbo engine and six speed tyranny.

Re: it will be back on the road soon...

/sigh, no mechanical updates, college keeps me too busy to help as does the need for a practical car (hachi project)

got tires for the lotus though so that's a "get it done faster" item... as we really want to burn them up now

Re: it will be back on the road soon...

lotus is still a frame... mr2 is a never-finishing thing, GTS is done (but needs a fuel pump now)

and now, working on a Fiero GT v8 GRM challenge car
