    That is a really nice build but for me it is very hard to change the original shape of a 7 and get away with it, yours does look really good

    That s2000 engine sounds great for that style car . They have more than enough power for a light car . 😀👍

    Thanks for the time and effort to record your build. I often forget to record my builds not thinking that they have any real value. Not so - someone will always profit. Thanks Again!

    Just for anyone that may be considering using a small jdm 4 cylinder engine. They don't have to be placed vertical I. The engine bay, they can be layed over to 45 degrees. Maybe even more. It requires a modified oil plan and pickup too. Usually you can rotate the transmission if it has a separate bellhousing or cut and reweld it.

    I had a concept of mounting a Chevrolet Corvair (air cooled 6 cyl) up front into a Super 7, with the trans-axle mounted behind the seats (weight distribution).

    Really nice build. What is what looks like a Schrader tire valve doing sticking up from the bottom of the windscreen?

    What did you end up doing with the rear shocks?

    • @lambobuilder
      @lambobuilder  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I ultimately move them to a vertical position and abandoned the cantilevered setup.

    Problem with Lexan is that it is prone to stress cracking and the windshield will whiten after a year or so.

    Not really Caterham 7 it's just a kit car. I think you've missed the purpose how much does that weigh?

    Watched the whole thing, and don't see it run or drive. That's unsatisfying.

    • @lambobuilder
      @lambobuilder  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You are correct. This was about building the car. Will try to get some running and driving videos in the future.

    Test drive alone and wear a good helmet. Risk yourself not others.
