    I’d wager the ones off Ebay are the same as the Cafe Racer ones. Think some people are making good money from selling these LED headlights well over what they are being sourced for. As for the Caterham ones, ludicrously over priced. Shame. Picture shows Cafe Racer ones.

    They do look like the same ones. If so then they are a bargain.

    Original Cafe Racer £121 a pair delivered

    Glad you got it sorted James.

    Don’t forget to book a place on the Christmas meal occurring on Tuesday 5th December 2023. Always a fun evening, it would be really good if you could attend. I have extended the time to book until Wednesday 25th October. If you’ve not seen the email then ring me/ text me/ WhatsApp me on 07711 640105. Nick

    Hello
  7. bluenose
    Recently we have been meeting at The Goat at Downton however this is always subject to change so please check the emails sent out as we sometimes try other venues.

    Try T cut and hair dryer on the white spot areas, and once most of the spots have faded use Woodsilk polish(available in all good supermarkets). If this fails to restore them then you probably need them machine polished and a UV protection clear coat carried out at a body shop.

    Ok, never knew that and I have owned several Caterhams including a R300 with black anthracites? Always called them 8 spoke or 10 spoke(15"). Nick

    What do you mean by anthracite wheels? 8 spoke 13", 10 spoke 15", Apollos?

    Sounds like a nice car. Not sure why the roller barrels are considered binary, my R500 and previous R300 ones were fine? So smooth after a two Steves mapping session on the R500. Best of luck with the sale Brian, hard to find now. Nick

    I have emailed Steve my order.
  13. bluenose
    Yes please. Nick

    Is there a market for stolen 13" wheels? Never had locking wheel nuts on a Caterham. Is the car left out rather than garaged?

    I also use Comma 5w50 however it seems to have creeped up in price. Still cheaper than Motul which is nearly £20 more for 5 litres. .https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-147389-comma-motorsport-5w-50-fully-synthetic-racing-car-engine-oil.aspx

    You never know Quite liked the bare carbon look on my previous car and this gives me options.
  17. bluenose
    Yes please Mark.

    ATDO are no longer an entity, and APlan have assured me they can cover me on a track day at Goodwood on the 1st May organised by a new track day provider. I did not get the impression that a wording change was needed to still have cover although for piece of mind having the correct wording seems like a good idea in case the underwriter decides to turn tail. As I understand it the ATDO was set up in the days when you could hire a circuit with no marshalls, medical cover, etc however I understand much of that is included by the circuit owners in their hire cost nowadays.

    Would be nice if we could find an broker that has an underwriter that knows Caterham and Lotus 7s and insures for multiple track days, all at an affordable price. Wonder if the Club can help facilitate this? Nick

    I did some Lotus On Track trackdays many moons ago, seemed well organised and had no issues.

    620R - Wanted!

    bluenose replied to Shortshift's topic in Wanted

    I'm doing a day at Castle Combe on 19th September to get to know the car on track. Done about 2000 road miles now so getting to know the car but need a track to make full use of the performance. Need to get it remapped by Steve Greenald before next year as there is a big hole in the power curve and look at upgrade to suspension as it feels too soft. Other than that it's great so far. N

    620R - Wanted!

    bluenose replied to Shortshift's topic in Wanted

    https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/13796115 362bhp enough for you? Seems that 50% of 620Rs are this colour scheme. Nigel Pugh's old car was nice but seems to have disappeared so probably sold. Sorry to see you moving on James, I am starting my journey with the R500 as you finish with my first trackday next month.

    Think it was Owain Davies who built a R500 IRS in 2008? He worked for Caterham Cars as a development engineer I think. The car used bits from a CSR I believe. Nick
  24. bluenose
    Still not been out in the dark with my Original Cafe Racer units fitted so not able to offer a review of the performance. I know the Caterham units are not perfect with someone telling me that on full beam the area immediately in front of the car is unlit. I would think the Cafe Racer ones will be similar. Will report back once I have driven in the dark. Nick

    Wonder if he's still got his Blackbird powered car?
