Derek Taylor Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Due to the Mrs losing her company car, now need something a tad more practical for everyday use but still good for trackdays.Therefore would consider p/x for something suitable with cash either way e.g. cat with weather gear, superlight or similar spec.

STEVE GILBERT Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 These cars are rare and mark an important part of Seven History. There are only 20 or so pukka ones. My advice is buy early to avoid dissapointment, experience ultra low running costs, (@40mpg blatting and real light on tyres) and enjoy it while it becomes a 'classic' Caterham After all it was ETCOTY Good luck with sale Jeff. See My Caterham Fireblade Here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogvet Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Shame, has it gone south or north, if so will I be able to chase it my repowered blade car?! Regards Hugo PS going racing or just retiring from the 7 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Taylor Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 Hi Hugo, Blade has gone sawth, but James who bought the car says he will be doing trackdays, so you might get a chance to meet it on track. Hope your blade conversion is going well, I did hear about the Kwaka engine giving up the ghost. Cornering too quickly with no dry sump? Not sure what to get into next ( trouble probably ❗ ). Hopefully staying with 7's Have to see what comes up. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogvet Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Yep, down to 6 psi on cascades (oulton) craner (donington), was never really happy with a touring Kawasaki engine in it, despite the Protech sump the oil feed side was not that clever! No3 Big end prob likely cause which is common in the bigger bike engines. So all change to blade engine, prop needed legthening, sorted the loom, engine mounts all ready, Manifold may take a little time but have a blade manifold and the original silencer as well as the Kawasaki tubes so it should not be too difficult,(tube torque in Macclesfield). Will have to fiddle about with air intake a la Caterham style,also have tracked down the supplier of the dry sump system that James Whiting used!! if nec. Shame it is this time of year but that is car ownership!! Car still owes me very little and will see off an R300 at 5x the price!! Hope you get back into trouble, Regards Hugo PS one of these little beasts with a Hyabusa in it beat the lap record at Snetterton a couple of weeks back!(in its class) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Taylor Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hi Hugo Good to hear you should have your wheels sorted in the not too distant future. Not sure you really need a dry sump with the blade engine, but I'm no expert!!! Hopefully see you soon, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogvet Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 got a new one yet? regards Hugo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Taylor Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 Hugo, Looks like I will be driving a superlight shortly. Have had to go for something more "practical" as it will be my only car. Might therefore struggle to keep up with you on track *eek* ❗ Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogvet Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Sounds pretty funky for an every day car! Regards Hugo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
