Sorry wasn't sure were to put this Rolling road day - Tour de force Not sure if there will be much interest from here bug I have arranged rolling road day at Tour de force. If you haven't heard of them before they are a proper motorsport company that build engines/cars from stock refresh to true touring car spec monsters! Their chassis dyno is also highly accurate, it is regularly calibrated against their engine dyno so you are guaranteed an accurate result! What? A rolling road day with feedback and advice from a professional motorsport engineer.m, oh and free drinks and nibbles! Where? Tour de Force Power Engineering Limited Unit V3 Grovemere Court Bicton Industrial Park Kimbolton Huntingdon Cambridgeshire PE28 0EY When? 9am Sunday 5th February How much? £35 per car Everything else We'll be limited to 20 cars for the day to ensure that everyone not only gets their power run but will get proper feedback on their runs and advice on improvements, future modifications etc. For those in the Birmingham area I'll arange a convoy from Corley Services southbound on the M6 departing at 8am sharp, I'll be there from about 7:30am. Think that covers everything except list of attendees, as places are limited please only put your name down as running a car if you are definately attending, to put your name on the list jsut copy and paste the bit below and add your name and what car you are bringing along.

Cheers guys that does help.

Hi guys, need to know how this section of the interior should be finished, any pics of your cars would be a big help. Car is a Sierra based s7

Could be interested in engIne and gearbox?

Cheers. Will see you at the next one then. Hopefully my engine will at least start by then.

Yeh I think I will. What time do you all meet?

Never realised there was so many of you local to me! I have the same part on my s7, although my cars not running yet :-(

Jazzy total includes sump iirc. Adey I am indeed the same duck.

Actually got the height here total height approx 650mm sump approx 130mm

I did a lot of looking into it and decided it's too tall. Will find measurements out if you like?

I don't have emerald, good old pinto carb for me.

Congrats. Hoping I get tO do the same next weekend

Oh and the Renault sport spider had a mid mounted f7r and rwd. Only production Renault with rwd and an F engine. Obviously all the formula Renaults are and were mid mounted and ran f7rs before wing changed to f4r

Simple answer is it's far too tall even with a dry sump kit which are rare as hens teath.

I'll be able to confirm what I have available next weekend. Will either be the 34 or the other I have which I can't remember what it is lol

Got a weber 34 on pinto manifold that might be going spare if thats any good to you?

Agree with above comments, wouldnt reuse.

Anyone got a photo of hOw the fuel tank should be fitted on an s7? Am working blind without a manual and have it in place but don't think it is sitting right

Long term plan is cycle wings and aeroscreen. For now though it's all about just getting it running!

After what felt like s long two weeks between agreeing the deal and today I have picked up my S7. Just a quick picture of it on the trailer for now, as you can probably guess it's an unfinished example and still needs a lot of work. If will become my track car when uts done and I'll start a build diary soon for those interested.

Got a steering rack?

The donor will still need sorn though, and that's the v5 I'm not having. It's never going on the road, track only.

Never been on the road. What should I get him to put onthe receipt? Am not having donor v5 as not going through iva and don't want the hassle of sorn a none existing car.

Anyone know were the chassis number is on an S7? I am buying an unfinished one tomorrow and want the seller to put the chassis number on the receipt.

Ah sorry. Didn't realise it had gone
