Hi - not used the forum before and new to all this so please bare with me. I have limited technical knowledge so apologies if I am asking the obvious! Bought my first Caterham last summer from a dealer - 1996 1.6K supersport 6 speed, dry sump, superlight front suspension and de dion rear. Pirelli P 6000 (lots of tread) 195/60 R 14 front and rear. The MOT certificates suggest the car was not driven between 2007 and 2017 but the dealer apparently serviced the care before I collected it. Ive probably driven 1000 miles now (speedo and odometer not working for 2nd time so I dont really know!). I love it and its great fun but I don't think I am getting the best out of the car. The issues I have are: 1) steering and handling at speed on anything other than a flat road is all over the place. Scary in the wet. I feel more confident driving my Honda diesel. I suspect I need to get a suspension / tracking assessment performed ? I assume Pirelli P6000 are not a good choice and that I should consider saving for a set of Avon ZZS? 2) 138 bhp when new (non cat) but I have no idea what that feels like in a Caterham. Certainly feels quick to 30 mph if you floor it and rapid at 5000-6000 rpm at speed but nothing much in between but I know the k-series lacks mid range torque. I don't know whether the engine is in a reasonable state of tune or whether the valve timing has ever been looked at. Would it make sense to consider upgrade to vernier timing pulleys at the next service? Will this make a noticeable difference to mid range performance? 3) Assuming I get the handling and service done and funds at some future date allowing, sensible upgrades would be on a wish list. I cant see my self racing and I think I would be looking for more power / torque at mid range to avoid running at 6000 + rpm on motorways etc. I've looked at the DVA power website and it looks like the choice basically boils down to Emerald ECU upgrade +- Jenvey throttle bodies or going the root of taking the head off and porting, changing cams etc. Any advice here? (apart from trading in for a 1.8K with 5 speed!) Many thanks for your wisdom
