CharlesElliott Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 4 x scrubbed CR322s. Road legal and with a good few trackdays left in them. Perfect for getting some practice in before the 2005 Academy, or use them as a dry set and save your pristine ones for the wet. £50 for 4 - collect from Surrey or I can probably arrange some convenient pick up point.

MikeRowland Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Hi Charles I'll take em!! They still available? What's the deal with getting 4 rims from somewhere? How many of the academy events do you think they'll be good for before they fail scrutineering? It's here - i now live in my garage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Newman Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Mike we need to find the latest type wheels as supplied for 05 Academy £90 each from Caterham advertised as (NEW) one assumes we will be lucky to find some second hand ones http://www.caterham.co.uk/showroom/index.htm Edited by - Trevor Newman on 31 Oct 2004 18:17:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRowland Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 hi Trevor - i suspected that - i was thinking that i would maybe get some old minilites, and not actually use the scrubbed tyres for competitive Academy stuff, maybe use them for track days etc. Having said that, 90 each isn't the end of the world, i plan on continuing racing indefinitely and so spare rims are always welcome PS - have you found a red dot Front ARB anywhere?

AndyA Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Try posting on the graduates website, the tyre spec is changing for 2005, so there will be plenty of CR322's for sale over the coming months.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardO Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Are they really fitting the 8 spoke alloys to the academy cars now? That's going to cause hassle for some of the follow on series - they all specify the wheel type and don't currently allow the new ones - I feel a rule change coming on. Second hand minators (the old style standard alloy wheels) come up on here quite frequently. Usually around 175 - 200 quid a set. Alternatively 260 quid for a set of new ones here: http://www.tyresave.co.uk/alloyskn.html R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesElliott Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 Are they really fitting the 8 spoke alloys to the academy cars now? They certainly are. I'm expecting follow on series to allow either old or new, but as none of the 2005 regs are available yet it's difficult to know. Alternatively 260 quid for a set of new ones here: http://www.tyresave.co.uk/alloyskn.html Just one thing to be careful of. The Academy and Roadsport regs (and maybe Grads, haven't checked) actually say that the only wheels allowed are ones supplied by Caterham Cars. From my experience, they don't appear to be quite as strict as this - however, wheels were weighed at one event this season and those that had 'lighter' Minators than the CC ones had to change them.

RichardO Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Strange that, considering Caterham claim theirs are a special light version 😳 I have three sets of Minators; two came from Caterham, one from tyresave. They all weigh the same to within 10 grams. Grads regs says something like "as suplied by caterham under part number xxxx". which doesn't actually say that they have to be bought from Caterham, just that they have to be the same model.
