Yes a very successful and rewarding day. However Brent, I think we would have been able to have it finished a couple of hours earlier had it not been for the copious amounts of hot beverages and the delicious sandwiches provided throughout the day by Mrs C. Please pass on my thanks to your good lady. Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here

Brent 1. The Silver Top has a metal cam cover which does not have the 'UPSTAND' that forms the back of the belt cover we need to cut down. Mine has been cut down to about 5mm proud of the top of the cam belt. 2. Don't know, mine was already removed Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here

You have to cut down the upstand of the cam covers behind the pullys, don't know by how much, probably level with the pullys but it should say in the Raceline fitting instructions. Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here

Your right, it is too big for you Ray HERE 😬 Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here Edited by - Guy Lowe on 18 May 2007 09:06:32

Chris Pictures sent by e mail. Neil_K if Chris does not want them, Adam Hay will take them to the Wotton Hatch tomorrow for you to have a look at. Roy What the hell is a windscreen Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here

Chris Send my your work e mail address and I will mail you some pictures. If you want them, Adam Hay said he would take them over to the Wotton Hatch on Thursday for me Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here Edited by - Guy Lowe on 16 May 2007 14:02:12

I saw a very nice black one with gold lettering in Redline last week, I think it was just over £50 + vat 😳 Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here

Chris Pictures here sorry I am not going to Dunsfold, but I know someone who can take them to the Wotton Hatch for me on Thursday. Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here

Theses Jill Judd half doors are only a month old and have only been used once. The poppers have been fitted and I have 4 unused black 'pull the dot' studs. They cost me £55 Price List yours for £35 + £8.50 carriage (CityLink next day). Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here

My pre ‘S’ type cloth seats “Probably the most comfortable seats Caterham have ever fitted” complete with headrests and runners. Removed from my 1992 De Dion car after 13K miles , Very good undamaged, condition, no tears rips, wear marks or holes. Inspection welcome £180 the pair collection from Camberley GU15 or maybe able to arrange delivery depending on location. Pictures of the seats can be seen here Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here Edited by - guy lowe on 20 May 2007 09:53:33

Paul Webers will never give as good fuel consumption as throttle bodies, however I now think it is quite a bit better that the X Flow, I am not really concerned about the consumption just really pleased with the way it performs Brent The financial issues of the consumption is not a problem, I am just worried that Tony will get fed up with my constant fuel stops and leave me behind and there will be no Toni & Guy at Le Mans 😬 😬 😬 Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here

Andrew - YHM re SIGMA Robert - No, it is better than the X Flow, but in the 1500 miles I have had the ZETEC I have been geting over 185 miles per tank, not now though Manxseven - Yes that's the one Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here

Went out for a longer run yesterday and one other BIG change in the engine has become apparent, FUEL CONSUMPTION *thumbdown*Looks like I will be spending quite a bit of time in petrol stations on the drive to Le Mans Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here

Adil I have a spare top hose (Raceline water rail to rad) Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here

Cloud 9 YHM regarding the cover Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here

I have recently switched from A 135BHP 1700 X Flow engine to a Blacktop 2.0L ZETEC from the Focus. With the exception of a lightened flywheel and 4 to 1 exhaust the engine is standard and I have retained my Weber 40's. I was very pleased with the outcome, lots of toque through the rev range, obviously more power and generally much more drivable. However I was disappointed with the performance at high revs, in short it didn't really want to go above 5,500 and if you did, it seemed to take forever to get to 6,500 and didn't seem worth the effort. So yesterday I took it to Sigma to see if a rolling road session would improve anything. At this stage I don't want to mess about with the map as it has the OMEX ECU with the well proven (read tame) Raceline map. The carbs were jetted as per Caterham's spec for the Supersprint i.e. 120 mains F16 emulsions 165 airs 50F9 idles The only thing I had done was change the chokes from 32mm to 34's as many searches of Tech Talk seemed to indicate was the right thing to do, as did few people who had been there before me! On the first run Peter took it up to 4,000, cut the engine, shook his head and muttered "I don't like that, (you have to understand Peter is one of the Old School of engine tuners), put 35 mains in it Bob (Bob is the oily rag but a very nice bloke)". Second run up to 5,000 and again he shuts it off and says "still not enough, try 45 mains". On the third run Peter took it up to 7,000, down and up a few times (it's frightening to watch and yes the primaries do glow red hot) shut it down and announced "that's better". The airs were then changed to 175's and after another run he was happy, said the engine performs well, spent a couple of minutes on the slow running jets and told Bob to make out the bill. I went out this afternoon and the car is totally different, it gets to 7,000 so quickly and the power and torque is there all the way through the rev range, it really feels like a different engine. 😬 I was told by many when I fitted my ZETEC that it will run happily on the Super Sprint carburettor set up, all you have to do is change the chokes to 34mm, well this has proved not to be so in my case and I strongly advise anyone doing the upgrade to put it on a rolling road as soon as it is run in and to anyone thinking of upgrading to the ZETEC - JUST DO IT, you won't be disappointed and the Raceline offer will not last for ever.

Is the Indoor cover a Caterham one? if so first dibs please Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here

Doh!Nut is partially correct, if a fridge or freezer has been tilted over or laid on its side for any time when moved/transported, then it should be left upright and switched off for 24 hours. This is to allow the oil in the compressor to drain back into the base of the case. My guess would be that the ambient temp in the house is higher or simply that you notice the noise more because it is now in the house, use a cable probe type thermometer (cook shop or Argos) and keep an eye on the temperature without opening the door, you should see -18 to -22ºC, if it gets higher that -12/14 ºC you have a problem.

I used fuel injection hose, it slightly more expensive but worth it IMO Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here

😬 Good point Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here

Darren Did you forget to bring them or did I forget to ask Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here

Dave Yes I hope so if Tony can find it if not I will let you know Thanks Guy SB Lowe o *arrowup*o The ZETEC is now running here Edited by - Guy Lowe on 4 May 2007 16:56:12
