Nick Woods Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Can someone give me a quick rundown on all the bits that are in the widetrack kit . I assume there are new upper and lower wishbones and steering rack extensions but is there anything else ? Nick P8MRA - The green one with red wings.

scooby dooby doo Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 longer brake hoses. I think you also get two ARBs as well. I did when i got a load of bits after my accident anyway. HOOPY 500 kg R706KGU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wong1697456877 Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 You need extensions for Bilstein shockabsorbers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard J Darnell Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 from memory i don't think you get new upper wishbones, only lower ones the upper wishbones have extensions attached to them similar to the steering rack extensions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewartG Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 I got upper and lower wishbones, a widetrack arb and extensions for the steering rack and the shocks plus longer braided hoses for the brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Don't you get an adjustable rear arb? - or is that "supersport" suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifty Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Nick, Looking in the Demon Tweeks 2002 catalogue, where they have a picture of the kit laid out, I'd say you get both upper and lower wishbones, ARB and longer hoses, along with all the fittings (Item 17, Pg 325) Nifty.

Nick Woods Posted November 13, 2002 Author Share Posted November 13, 2002 Thanks everyone for the replies. I did what I should have done yesterday and rang Caterham, they confirmed that it has 4 wishbones plus the shock and rack extensions and longer brake pipes Nick P8MRA - The green one with red wings.

TomB Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Is it a worthwhile upgrade for a road and occasional track day Se7en? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 its a fairly marginal upgrade really. Worth doing if you have to buy new wishbones anyway, but other than that.... HOOPY 500 kg R706KGU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Woods Posted November 13, 2002 Author Share Posted November 13, 2002 I always understood that it made quite a bit of difference, there have been several posts in here from people who have fitted it and are raving about it. All of my standard-track ones are bent so I'm going for one as the price differential isnt too high (£400 for widetrack kit vs about £370 for four standard wishbones) Nick P8MRA - The green one with red wings.

Richard J Darnell Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 I upgraded to widetrack at the same time as moving to adjustable platforms and uprated springs. The overall effect was fantastic but I can't say how much of the improvement is down to the widetrack. I've heard people say you can make the car handle very well with the narrow track (which I'm sure is true) but I just wanted it 'cos it looked better !

scooby dooby doo Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 its DEFINITELY worth it if you need new wishbones as it add to the value of the car at resale and costs aprox the same. HOOPY 500 kg R706KGU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 I dont need new wishbones, I was just wondering - fighting upgraditis cos I shouldnt be spending loads of money on it while I have a student loan to pay back!! 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 For a bit more you could upgrade the brakes instead. race master cylinder and big fronts. HOOPY 500 kg R706KGU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
