Hello Xavier!

I thought your car had improved, at least in the torque curve...

Maybe ask Caterham what they did to the SuperSprint to increase it to 95 bhp?

What are you looking for exactly? I can't imagine that engine being capable of big outputs... unless fitting a bigger turbo, which might lead to other technical bits to be changed.

Hi Xavier.I fitted a K&N Air Intake Filter to my 160 on the basis that more air = more fuel = more bang. I reckon it gave me a bit more power, quicker revving and certainly made 3rd gear more usable in urban areas. It's Ford filter and the K&N number is 33-2853. 

The increase in power of the Super Sport is achieved by a revised turbo dump valve and ECU tweak. I have asked CC if they would/are intending to market an upgrade now that all the Super Sports are built, but it seems not - might be worth trying again though. 

My thinking is that anything like 200bhp would ruin the essential character of the car but 100bhp would be just dandy.
