Steveh7 Posted February 5, 2004 Author Share Posted February 5, 2004 caterham only stock an ant0cav tank for the K series, maybe its not such an issue with the VX, someone will be along to tell us more. Flaps you have inspired me to come along to the herts meet soon, being a new boy did they steal your pocket money and flush your head down the bog?

flaps7 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Stevo Being married with 2 children I have no money to steal and my ears are too big to allow my head to fit down the bog. (An advantage only evident in my secondary school 'ears) Was plesantly surprised by the 2 pubs in one night routine, bonus being the drive between. Which reminds me I must get a question out on how does one improve the lights. Flaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Flaps, You have a great car to get on track and the worries above don't apply to the 1.6VX with sensible tyres. I do about 15 races and 10 track days a year with no problems. Just be carefull about what tyres you eventually change to as too much grip will be less fun and cause you some other problems.

flaps7 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Mike Thanks for the info, Ifeel a little more comfortable now. Once Mitchelins trashed I am thinking of going Yokohama AO21R 185/70R13. I will be mainly a road user but if I survive the novice day maybe a few trackdays. What is your view? Flaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Whitley Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Flaps, I made that change after losing the back of the car at 70 - in a straight line The difference with A021R's is total. As for their performance on track and its effect on the oil - I'll see you at Brands on the 24th 😬 M1 7 SMW R200 (aka 1.4SS) Mem.No. 10376 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaps7 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Tony What did you did about insurance? You am or pm? I'll be easily spotted, 35mph on the straight and hand signals , yes I'm that old. Flaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobM Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I find it a tad frustrating that Caterham didn't warn me about this to be honest.. I had it happen on the public road! (see my previous post). I even asked: "are there any problems with oil surge and aeriation if I want to go on track days" and the salesman said "no". Oh well, hope I haven't done any damage, and I've got my Apollo now. - How can such a cute looking car sound so ferocious! - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
