dannylt Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 It's finally time to go, see Piston heads. The most fun Caterham I've ever driven, though to be fair I haven't driven one that wasn't fun. If you need an opinion from someone who has probably driven every sort of Caterham on track, blatmail me. Only thing I'll add here is that this was the car that beat the good old Fat Arnie "300" bhp VX at FCITW, and with a H pattern box at the time 😬. Seems all long time ago now!

EFA Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Er it only beat me after about 10 attempts and after you had borrowed Dave Breadcrumb's slicks..... I on the other hand, had a passenger on the run you beat me on. Not that I care. The best Caterhams are powered by KSeries!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannylt Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 But you had slicks, plus a sequential, and I'm pretty sure you're not allowed passengers on the strip! (nice troll though! ). I'm trying to avoid the route you took in selling your car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannylt Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 And it was the fastest overall time that won anyway, come to think of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFA Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I was also eating Dave Jackson's pies all day to offset any improvements I may have otherwise made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 let's just say they were both fecking quick. But only one beat the both of you 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2rum Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 This can't be true!! How about a rematch Might need a few years for prep work all donations welcome but No K series parts please Cash welcome 😬 and pies as they sound good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannylt Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 I'm pretty sure I ate all the pies. But in any case, this isn't a reminiscences thread, I'm trying to sell my car! I took the trophy home before some unchallenged puny K-series owner prised it away.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSL Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Cracking spec Danny, if I didn't already have my Busa I'd be making a bee-line for your car forthwith, best of luck with the sale P.s If you get stuck I'll go a cheeky £22k for immediate purchase 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannylt Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 I've had cheeky offers higher than that already! I reckon that's close to breaking up and selling the parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFA Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I think you'd get full asking price if you break it for parts..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannylt Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Seriously? Private blatmail coming! I've updated the PH ad - forgot to include the winter work, and added some pics :- Winter refresh included (100 miles since then, how sad) - New Sadev gearbox + flatshift - New clutch & cover plate - New bellhousing - New propshaft - Propshaft guard - Fitting diff struts - Diff rebuild - Roll cage padding - Engine oil, diff oil, filters, coolant, brake fluid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSL Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Breaking it up would be a crying shame I'm sure there will be a buyer at proper money out there in fairly short order. You only need to sit down & have a quick tot up to see the money invested into this car, its value at or near the asking price if your after the ultimate N/A Duratec with a brand new proper gearbox to boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
