Slider7 Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 OK Timbo ... that changes the picture 😬 ... Just was a bit disappointed ☹️ because I really want a 4-1 exhaust ... Slider@7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnonut Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 On the subject of 4-1 exhausts, does anyone know a neat way of making the hole in the side of the the body big enough to fit the primaries through. I currently have standard exhaust and as such a small round hole (fah nah!). If I wanted a 4-1 do I get the tin snips out and hope for the best?

scooby dooby doo Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 its a load of 1" square sheets of sandpaper stacked on top of each other and glued together at one end to make a circle. it then plugs into a drill and the flaps of sandpaper tidy the edge. a few quid from B&Q.

scooby dooby doo Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 wingnonut - i'm confused - if you have a superlight then it should have a big hole and the exteranl 4-1 already... HOOPY R706KGU Hoopylight R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnonut Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Hoopy, It is a Superlight but its only got a standard (?) exhaust. Why did all SLs have 4-1? Anything else that should be standard? There are alot of things the car has that I know are not, such as dry sump upgraded brakes etc. Understand with the flap wheel now. Thought you were saying you make the hole bigger with it rather than just tidying it up!! W.Nut. Rosso Superlight no.087 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 the flap wheel will make the hole bigger but not very quickly - decent tin snips are best for that. an SL should have the 1.6 K SS engine. the SS pack includes the uprated exhaust. big brakes were probably std, dry sump probably wasn't.

Support Team Shaun_E Posted August 7, 2003 Support Team Share Posted August 7, 2003 I'm pretty sure that 4-1 exhaust wasn't standard for Superlight, although many have them fitted. I thought that the SuperSport upgrade was cams and ECU only. Shaun Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 the upgrade may only be cams and ECU but the cars equipped with it when sold have the exhaust. (at least - this is the first i know without it). the cost difference is very small. and 1500 quid to change the cams and swap the ECU is EXTORIONATE if it doesn't have an exhaust as well. to be honest all the cars should have the long primaries and the SS kit should be a programmable ECU, cams, and vernier pulleys. hmmm... luckily dvapower already do that sort of thing HOOPY R706KGU Hoopylight R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnonut Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Mine was sold as SuperSport. I'm getting confused . Shaun, which has yours got. Hoopys making me worried I've bought a ringer!!!! Rosso Superlight no.087 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 mine was orginially a 1.6 K SS (that was the model name - it was only just out in 1996). it has SS exhaust as std. also a rear ARB and I think the big brakes and LSD were options.

Support Team Shaun_E Posted August 7, 2003 Support Team Share Posted August 7, 2003 Mine is a SuperLight with a 1.6 SuperSport engine (standard fit on an SL). It has a 4-1 on it but I'm pretty sure that was fitted after the car had been built. N.B. I am about the 4th owner of it so history isn't great! I have seen SL's with the standard exhaust pipe hence my belief that the 4-1 is an option. The other car I looked at when I bought mine also had a 4-1 exhaust but the vendor (Millwood garage in Cam) told me that it was also an aftermarket item - in fact they had to take it off and replace with a normal exhaust to get it through the MOT. If you have a dash plaque with your SL# then it is highly unlikely to be a ringer as you can't get replacements - I know this because mine has had the dash changed and hence no dask plaque and Caterham could not supply me with one! You can confirm the history of your car with Caterham if you give them the chassis number - they may want to charge you for this but if you have your car serviced there then they might do it for free. My wife found out my SL number by buttering up Simon Lambert by email and she then surprised me with the information on our wedding anniversary 😬 (she had hoped to get a replacement plaque for me). I got copies of the original sale documents when I had my car serviced (I can check tonight and see what exhaust was specified). Hoe this helps.

scooby dooby doo Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 careful with such comments on the palques - two cars have a plaque saying 40th anniversary #2 for example.... HOOPY R706KGU Hoopylight R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnonut Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 You are all a great help!! (group hug!!). I have a dash plate (No. 087), and I bought the car from Caterham so they aren't going to pass off a car as an SL without checking in the first place. I guess (or at least I'm going to consider) that a 4-1 exhaust was an option and leave it at that. Ignorence is bliss!!! Now don't supose you've got another 4-1 exhaust goin spare have you timbo???? As I still wan't one, which was the start of this string anyhow!!!!! W.Nut. Rosso Superlight no.087 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david nelson Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I think this might be how it goes? If your sl was made by the factory it needed a exhaust with a cat, so no com 4-1 exhaust. If the sl was home built or by another compony then it got round the cat reg. I have a late sl #148 and it does not have a comp exhaust, but it was built by CC in 2001 so would need a cat and needs one for the mot. hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
