Hmm, not bad against about £1400 going Jenveys, Emerald etc. Graham
-
why are you selling them, I thought you were an R400 race series competitor...have the tyres changed for the series? Graham
-
fitted to one Mr Nearn's car I understand! Graham
-
but why on earth go to the expense of getting Caterham roller barrels over other DTHTB's such as Jenvey's? If they are good enough for PC's big engine...?? Graham
-
BTW I have run at Castle Coombe with said SLR and 7" silencer. So tha twould be the way to go. There are quite a few aftermarket exhausts that would prob work. Graham
-
Apart from the TB's and if you have aggressive cams you will have an induction noise problem. It sounds like your exhaust can is shagged. I put a 7" superlight R race can on a VHPD and got below 98dB. Only solutionn to the induction noise is an airbox. Graham

tks Mark, yhm Graham
-
BTW is it your pic Mark? Do you have a higher res version of it? Tks Graham
-
wow, that's got me more emotional than I expected, looks fabulous! How did Gregg get on?? Graham

9.5" is the Caterham recommended for the R500. But the DS tank is the same (provided you haven't got a very early VHPD DS without the conning tower). Make sure you get the dipstick down to the bottom of the tank past the obstructions in the casting. I am not sure about Nig's proposition that they are all different. I reckon it's more to do with the 'measurers' as its a wretchedly hard thing to measure with any accuracy. Graham

If Peter doesn't have pics to send, I can take some (as I have his car in my gge). I'll get to it tomorrow. Graham Edited by - gridgway on 6 Feb 2003 22:59:15

I got to about 4k in my estimating which includes a standard 2.0l engine on TB's (no cams or headwork). Thought it was quite expensive. Graham
-
best to make sure you are doing it in the "do-up" direction ie clockwise on the o/s wheel and anti-clock on the n/s wheel. Graham

Unless the battery has run dry or been abused in some other way, such as flattening it and not re-charging it for a period, or your conditioner being faulty, I would say the batt is faulty. At under a year it must be under warranty? IF the conditioner were duff and putting out too high a voltage that would damage the batt but would also cause the cells to dry up. If you check the voltage the condtioner is putting out (maybe when connected to a known good battery) and it's ok then it sounds like the banner. I would expect 3 yrs upwards from a batt that has been looked after. Graham

Count, I will be accumulating bits this summer for next winter's upgrade to my 1600ss. I would be happy to share a M3d purchase to use when you had finished if that makes sense financially. Graham
-
I haven't used it yet, but I bought some from fsnet last week. Great service. I am planning to make a 'booster seat' to get my 14yr old close enough to the pedals. It'll prob just be an insert between her back and the back of the seat. Graham
-
yes please I would like a couple. Tks Graham
-
Hi I am fascinated by the thought of the car. Do you have any pics? Graham
-
nah, being not a million miles away from sarf lunden, getting to Nrofolk will be a real pain!!! Graham
-
The caterham online parts store has 13 inch ones at £114. I would expect George Polley or BMTR could also give you a price. Graham
-
I thuught that shorting the wires to each other was exactly what the switch did. Don't short them to the chassis though as I guess one of them will be live. Graham
-
what a pain, I can get to Brixton quite easily, but Norfolk, argh. That's not even in England is it? Graham
-
if you wanted to spend more on tyres, what about the 15" CR500s as fitted to the R300? Graham
-
easy peasy to get at and change by taking the pedal box lid off. Can be adjusted, but I doubt mended very easily. Prob as easy to fit a new one. If you bridge the wires first, you can check that it's the switch. Graham
