  1. Replaced new clutch and throttle cable today, Clutch cable no problem however, the throttle cable is proving a right pain in the butt ! I cant get to to fit properly over the stop. My old cable square end was made of a plastic like material the new one is all metal. What does one have to do to get it to fit correctly? (i dont want to tie wrap) Ive got throttle bodies fitted which makes it more difficult to get to!!
  2. Standard series 3 bonnet black with yellow painted stripe superlite decals good condition no dents £60 collection only. Set of Caterham KN Minator alloy wheel rims 6j x 13 £120 some scuffs but straight (not buckled) so ideal for spare set /track days. Collection prefered from Ipswich area. Could possibly courier at your cost. Price reduced on wheel rims now £100 !!
  3. Steel rods or possibly standard ones that have had the little ends bushed for floating wrist pin fitment suitable for the forged 1.9 pistons K series engine.
  4. Hi James.c, Well I will try and answer some of your queries based on my experiences. Rockinham is a nice track to get started on, just be careful of the first big corner past the start/finish line, take it to fast and on the wrong line and it will push you up onto the top edge wall (scary) Helmet. Buy a good make that fits your head well, and make sure its a full face version. Overalls. Not essential, but for your owm safety I'd buy a set. Everyone looks like a twat wearing them unless you happed to be Lewis Hamilton! Aero screen. Will get you faster lap times, but for the first few sprints just get used to how the car handles. Garage. The main reason I hire a garage is incase it pisses down (hard to forecast what our bloody weather will be doing) Tires. Your tires that are on your car at the moment should be fine,(dont forget to drop the pressures slightly) but if its a really hot day you could trash a set, having said that April will be freezing !! Some people bring a spare set of wheels with different compound tires. Will you be driving to and from the event? Spanner checks/fluid checks. Probably the most important thing make sure the wheel nuts are torqued correctly and check every so often during the day. Dont worry too much about tools theres plenty of others who would lend you theirs if you needed any. Bring spare oil, coolant and spare fuel (if theres none available on site) Check the oil on the dipstick every so often as well Comms. The instructor should have all the radio equipment needed, (if not learn sign language) Noise. Your car should pass this test without any problems, although if it was too loud you wouldnt be shown any favours I can assure you.(take some exhaust packing along) Rain. (probably) Forget putting a roof on, just wait for it to stop and when the event resumes, hold back and let the tin-tops dry out the circuit a bit before joining in again! Roll bar. Dont think theres any minimum distance on headroom although at 6'4" with a cage plus helmet on, you could have a stiff neck by the end of the day! Spectators. Usually can get in free of charge, just dont encourage them to wander onto the track. If you get the bug (which you probably will) think about investing in a trailer. And dont be embarrassest when a garri - boy driving a 3 wheeler comes past you Everybody has to start somewhere!! Just Enjoy !!!
  5. Hi All, Which Avon tyres would be best for Dry trackdays and or occasional dry road use? ZZR's or ZZS's ? And more to the point which would last me longer? (F 6x13" & R 8 x13").
  6. So just to confirm, the Caterham ones and the Westfield ones are the same? why the price difference then?
  7. Hi anybody bought a set of these from Stafford Vehicle Components (s-v-c) although I cant see any difference between the Caterham & the Westfield ones, apart from the price that is!!
  8. Hi, yes thats the boy, how much would you be asking for it please?, private message me with details please.
  9. Yeah thats the boy, how much would you like for it? Private message me with your reply Kind regards Dave.
  10. Right, let me go back to new rubber for my current setup 6" x 13" on fronts 8" x 13" on the rears. Yokohama's A048r's, Avon ZZR A84's or Toyo R888R's SG compound.? Where would I get the best deal price wise? (Mainly track day use) Although I like the Kumho's they are nearly knackered now!
  11. Theres a pair of race seats appeared on evil bay if they are any use? item number 282258848788
  12. 220 bhp 175/60/13 fronts 215/50/13 rears I was looking to use the spare wheels that i got with the car as an alternative for track days, if not I will buy another 6"/8" combination with different tyres
  13. Im planning more trackdays next year and have a spare set of 4 6x13" minilite wheels that I need to get different semi-slick tyres for. How much difference will I notice from my normal 6" fronts 8" rears x13" (kumho's ecsta v70a's) driving wise?
  14. Hi, Anyone got a spare Caterham alloy cam cover insert they want to flog (any colour) As usual Caterham are out of stock, so none of their new builds will have one !!!!
  15. Can I take the mirrors and the goggles please?
