  1. Hi Croc, funny you should mension the oil temps - I tracked CSR regularly for four years and my oil temps have never been a problem. I had 2.0 Duratec engine from R500 Duratec Superlight mated to CSR 260 cooling and lubrication system with Caterham 6 speed box and Stack dash. the car had a massive CSR radiator tilted forward with the plastic lip funneling the air to the top nose cone cut out, no oil cooler and modine oil/coolant heat exchanger in oil filter housing. Despite full throttle at Silverstone or Brands the oil temp has very rarely gone over 100'C. Immediately down to about 94-95'C on the cool down lap. High oil temp has never been an issue. I've used 10W-60 oil viscosity.

    Changed to 620R SV now, my CSR is up for sale here:

  2. Hi Andy, 

    maybe interested due to favourable spring rates.

    A couple of questions:

    - the make of the spring?

    - front springs look a bit short - standard Caterham is 7" - that equals to 177.8mm. 155mm gives you roughly 6.1"

    - the rears: the length of the rear main spring?, not sure I understand 250/625 lbs/in. 175mm is (give or take) 7 inch, 100mm equals roughly to 3.9 inch. The standard Caterham rear spring is 9 inch long.
