So todays jobs done..
- Engine water replaced
- Insurance! :D :D im insured from this Friday! ;)
Since replacing the engine water the car is running alot better! Water temp levels are alot lower and bang on which is obv a good sign! other day it seemed to over heat but all sorted...
With some luck I should have the lotus 7 ready to use for this :) jump leads at the ready mind! Lol. Also I prob won't be leading this as I will just be tootling along at the back to see how the 7 copes as it will be my 1st proper drive out.
Everyone still up for this run!?
Thanks :) Personally I think building the car is half the enjoyment and experiance, also you will appreciate the car a hell of alot more too. They look very simple to work on tbf aswell! So if you could build and maintain it with a friend who knows there stuff mechanically then I can't see...
Oh hi tunst!
Lol. No Its still in his name for insurance reasons but it's basically mine to use and look after as I please ;)
It was my dads from new, he and his friend built it and it's been all over Europe so it's quite a speacial car for me to own Tbh. It has alot of sentimental value. :)...
lol, no not as yet as i have to get a letter from them before i can join which is slightly annoying, i think i need to email their mod to get this letter :S. Just havent got round to it tbh. but it is on the todo list! :)
are you a member on Blatchat?
:D
Me 2 craig! Fingers crossed and il be cruising about in it from next sat!
dalla - yea you should! But try get a twincam as the noise is simply epic, it's half the enjoyment for me!

So today i have had the 7 up and running a few times today to get it back into the swing of life and get the battary charged back up to full life. Took it down the lane a couple times to get things back into flow ready for its upcoming MOT and to make sure all is in working order...
So the LY182 is getting prepd for sale. and here is my new project car to run about it for this year.
Its a 1979 Caterham (Lotus/Cosworth) Super 7 S3. this is the very 1st/Original caterham which is based on the Lotus 7 S3 (same engine setup etc)
Here are some useful links if anyone is...
Why don't u just buy 2nd refurbed wheels off here? Nothing wrong going 2nd hand, will prob work out cheaper with decent tyres too!
Either that or just stick with the OEM turinis and put the money towards coilovers instead. Look far better than those above.
No brainer really.
il be along car or not.. il just drive the 380MPS n show jamie how its done ;) lol. hopefully il have A car wether it be the LY or the Lotus or the C3.
I Don't think it's going to be as much of a big hit or as special as the RS2/4/6 mind.
It needs wider rear arches to suit!
Not a fan of it Just yet tbh.
