    Kumho ecsta v700 215/50R13 questions

    Chris - you will be very close to the wingstay with your proposal for the front but it should work. If too close it can easily be solved I suspect by bending the stay. Let us know how you get on as it is certainly a cheaper option than MB or Image.

    I was considering using Compomotive CXRs but couldn't seem to find the right offset. The fronts were the main problem. In the end I gave up and bought some Image 3 piece wheels. I just asked Image to build them with the same backdepth as the Caterham wheels (i.e. they just stick out further). If you blatmail me, I'll send you a copy of the order form. I have 7.5" front and 8.5" rear.

    You could call Compomotive and see if they can match the Caterham backdepth in 7" or 8" wheels. I think Paul Forster is running CXRs but he has flared wings so won't have the clearance issues with cycle wingstays.

    More power

    I guess that £2800 includes Jenvey throttle bodies and an Emerald ECU. Both of these are resusable should you wish to go for even more power at a later date.

    Numpty cut off switch question

    in TechTalk

    Posted

    The Blue book says:

    75. When operated, the circuit breaker must isolate all electrical circuits with the exception of those that operate fire extinguishers.

    Seems pretty clear.

    However a cut off switch is not required for sprints/hillclimbs if your car is roadgoing so no need to worry about it.

     

    Edited to say that external cutoff is not mandatory for road going cars.

    Windscreen replacement - AutoGlass

    Autoglass refused to let me fit the replacement - something about them not being able to guarantee it! Daft really as I take the screen off for every sprint. Other than that they have been excelllent both times I've had to claim.
