  1. I was also there, but I had side order of understeer to go with my oversteer. I have CR500s and still have the rear ARB fitted.

     

    I am the "Not my spin" in the vid, but this was the end result of a lockup under braking (and a lack of talent).

  2. I have been pondering the same question, but have decided to keep the car as "Caterham Standard" as I can because I intend to build an R400 or equivalent in a couple of years time. I think power upgrades from non factory sources will limit my options and force a private sale.

     

     

  3. Quoting garybee: 
    Ah, I think I understand what's going on on the RHS. Does the bolt have a long plain (unthreaded) portion and the washers were an attempt to stop the nut/bolt becoming 'threadbound' (nut tightening against end of thread before joint is tightened)?

     

    Yep nut was hitting the end of the thread before tightening, and the person that put it back without the side protection packed it with loads of washers.

     

    This is all going to be replaced, because I purchased a all new fixings/washers and packing washers.

     

  4. So it looks like case closed, typical race car damage, and the long bolt was because it used to have side impact protection.

     

    I feel better about replacing it and sleeping easy not worrying why I had a longer bolt, and that a shorter bolt has not been fitted in the wrong place .

     

    Thanks
