Only other job to remember is the wiring for the hated screen which needs to be disconnected to go Brooklands and reconnected later. Still only a 10 minute job though... Regards, Michael.

Oh bu@@ger Michael

Thanks for the feedback. Am just considering plans for the winter. New springs & dampers are a definite and that would be the time to consider whatever else could be done at the same time. We'll see.... Michael.

Does anyone know the difference in width between standard Caterham wide-track and narrow track please? Thanks - Michael.

And here are mine here Unfortunately not all as pin-point sharp as Ken's! Anyone who wants a high-res version, drop me a mail... Michael.

Tam and I will be camping Saturday night... Michael.

Thanks - what a nice guy and he thinks the world of the L7 club too Michael.

And one here Michael.

Mark - if you have an email for him - could you please drop it to me too. Mrs Kipper, don't know about you but I have had my entry returned because "we were already entered". The thing is, I've checked my cheque book and I don't think that I have... Regards, Michael.

Not that it was ever in any real doubt after Adrian's amazing performances all season - Absolutely brilliant Are you open to any offers for providing coaching over the "closed" season Regards - Michael.

Why do I somehow doubt the Headmaster's report would include the words "must try harder"? Michael.

Simon - I know how you feel - I'll do the same in class 3! Michael.

Thanks all - I had no idea that such a product existed Looks like I can order it easily from ebay and even avoid a trip to the shops! Cheers. Michael.

Bear with me please - there is a reasonable explanation! When I changed my rear wings a year or so ago, I managed to remove the old 1990s rectangular "Caterham Cars" metal badges and super-glued them onto the rear of my new wings. This weekend at Loton park, I had a bit of a "moment" which involved the rear wing kissing the tyre barrier. Anmazingly - there was no damage to the wing (just some tell-tale tyre marks) but the wing must have just distorted enough in the impact for the badge to fly off and be lost. They badges are no longer available from Caterham as far as I can see, so I am left with the residue of superglue to try to get rid of. Google seems to indicate that acetome is the way to go, (nail polish remover?) Does anyone know if this is likely to damage the gel coat? Thanks - Michael.

Here are my photos here I would especially commend photos 330 - 344 for the sequence of Mr Cummings having a rather interesting excursion (Sorry Roger ) Great day Only sorry the season seems to be approaching it's end Michael.

Richard, If Neil is unable to for any reason, I pass quite close to JW on the way from work and would be happy to pop by Michael.

ressure senders do go and they're about £40 to replace - let's hope for a simple outcome Michael.

One of the best upgrades I have made - also agree that pagid RS15s are great with these. Michael.

Oil filter part codes from different manufacturers for a 1700 Xflow include Champion C103, FRAM PH2870A, or PH966B Best of luck - Michael.

Hope thsy don't mind my posting this but when Vulcan rebuilt my Xflow a while back, these were the running instructions provided. The Name in performance Engines. We recommend the following procedures with new Vulcan Engines. We Recommend Valvoline racing 20/50 Oil in all of our Engines At 500 miles: Change oil and filter, check tappet clearances, check head torque At 1500 miles: Change oil. At this point the engine should be fully run in After this period, we recommend the oil is changed every 3000 miles and that general services are every 6000 miles. Starting the engine and running in: 1) Spin the engine over without the plugs in until some oil pressure is obtained. 2) When the engine has been started do not allow it to idle. Ideally it should be run at 2000 rpm for 20 minutes. after which set the idle between 750 and 1000 rpm. At This point the Tappets will need to be checked & adjusted as per sheet when cold. 3) When the engine is running, do not allow it to get hot. Remember that a new engine produces a lot more heat than an old one. If the engine is running hot, check your radiator. In some instances it will be necessary to increase the number of radiator cores. We also recommend having a header tank as part of your cooling system. 4) 0 - 500 miles: Max: RPM in gears 4000 top 4500 500 - 1000 miles: Max: RPM in gears 4500 top 5000 1000 - 1500 miles: Max: RPM in gears 5000 top 5500 5) Ensure that the mixture and ignition settings are correct otherwise serious engine failure will result. 6) The engine must not be ‘rolling road tested’ @ full RPM until it has done at least 3000 miles. 7) You can get the Engine Tuned on a rolling road with a Max RPM of 4500 from new but don’t leave the car at the rolling road with out you being there.

Definitly repairable - one of the benefits of dealing with craftsmen rather than anonymous corporations Michael.

A few pictures of the day can be found here Mr Grigsby - I told you that you were taking plenty of kerb - see picture 51 above Michael. Edited by - Mcalvert on 3 Jun 2007 22:28:58

What a great day, and what a great weekend Saturday may have been disappointing for the lack of runs, but today more than made up for it. Dry weather despite the predictions, plenty of runs including our very own L7 Run-off (spin off for me 😳), very close competition, plenty of regular faces but a fair few new ones too! Michael.

Thanks Mark - maybe I should first learn how to spell the place! Car now dropped off at Southern Carbs (although they don't know it yet 😳). Hope they'll be able to sort the problem. Regards - Michael

Thanks Tomorrow's job it to make sure that we can make Penbrey... Michael.
