    If any member preferably in the south has a well specced R300k or R400k that is low mileage and superb condition, plenty of history I have a friend who is looking to buy. Send me a private message and I can put you in touch with him. He may consider R300/400 Duratec cars as well depending on price and spec too. Nick

    I know that on the case of the Duratec engine cars like mine the ECU is locked and only one man knows how to access it, Steve Greenald. The alternative is to buy a new unlocked ECU and then a number of tuners can map it and you then have full access to the map via an SBD CANbus lead and Easimap software.

    Yeah seen it, made what I consider is a good offer but it was turned down, at the price wanted I’d want it in better condition.

    Greetings Hope everyone is well and getting out and about in their cars. I have made it to Dorset and Solent 7s in August plus been up to Anglesey for a very wet Club track day. At least the weather has improved slightly this year, let's hope we have an Indian summer. I have booked The Goat at Downton for this Tuesday 3rd September 2024 from 1830. Again apologies for the lack of meetings in the last two months but hope to see you all this Tuesday. Weather is looking good for Tuesday evening. All are welcome. Cheers Nick

    Anyone got a Caterham branded dry sump pan they would consider selling? After one to replace one that is buckled.

    The group in your Leicestershire area has 106 members so hopefully someone may have a cat they could lend you? There should be a WhatsApp group you could use to ask the question? £600 is taking the p155! Nick

    This months meeting(Tuesday 4th June 2024) will be at The Sir Walter Tyrell. https://www.thesirwaltertyrrell.co.uk/ . It is in a lovely forest setting just off the A31. Large car park. Weather forecast is looking good, hopefully see a good turnout 👍

    Couple of things make me laugh, rusty steering wheel bolts 🙄, CR500 tyres 🤣 , those stupid headlights and the hideous elise type dash. Always thought the engine install was amazing but the styling woeful. At least this one does not have the silly rear wings. If I thought I could drive a Caterham with 600bhp I would sort the dash out, new 5 1/4” headlights, normal carbon front wings and some new tyres ASAP. A lot of car for the money. What happens if the engine explodes? Nick

    There will be no meeting this month.

    Myles Fuel is available down the road, best to pop out at lunchtime and top up. A torque wrench for checking wheel nuts, tyre pressure gauge would help. I usually take spare throttle cable, exhaust bobbin, engine oil to top up if needed, some masking tape in case anything needs temporary fixing onto the car. You can take the kitchen sink but you can guarantee whatever may fail you won’t have it, although someone else might. As for booking it in for a service, hopefully you’ve done that before but it’s always worth getting the car checked over after by someone who knows what they are doing after some hard track miles. Caterhams are built for the circuit. Tyres wear a lot less than those heavy tin tops. Enjoy it. Nick

    I don’t like the steel runners either and got some aluminium tiltable runners fabricated that make fitting the seat very easy.
  14. bluenose
    Ah ditto 🙂

    Bryan I am just fitting a 6 Point crotch strap and from what I can see with Tillets that is going to be difficult to do between the two positions. I did wonder if you could fit 2 crotch straps, one for you and one for your girlfriend set to two different lengths? Nick

    The sun is shining and I am sat in a room with no windows 😕

    From the Nova Motorsport website: Nova Motorsport has secured all the residual stock from the Avon & Cooper Motorsport business. This valuable inventory is now located in our newly established UK Distribution Headquarters. Our new factory is already operational, marking the beginning of an exciting journey. Starting from March 2024, we will begin the process of manufacturing the Avon Motorsport range. With the first tyres anticipated to hit the market in the second half of 2024, these selected product lines will showcase our unwavering commitment to performance, heritage and quality.

    Selling due to lack of use? It is winter, surely you will get to use it in the spring?

    Used to use Super Blue until it was banned 🙄

    No, only the MB magnesium wheels need crack testing.

    I know that Solent 7s AR Andy Golden has one fitted to his R400D and from the conversation I had with him it is considered a fit and forget option. Not sure how it performs mind🤔
  22. bluenose
    Anyone got a black nose cone that would fit a 1997 car, needs to be undamage? Nick

    I bought some YC plastics 1/2 doors some time ago. Way too thick to heat and bend into shape, gave up. Nick
