  1. Quoting Gridgway: Trouble is that you rapidly run out of amps at a race circuit, especially with 4 cars under one awning! Would one of these help?

    lotus 3

    Doesn't look like any Lotus chassis number that I know of. Some years ago I went to look at a 'Lotus 7' in Dorset that had a Triumph 6 cylinder engine. That wasn't a Lotus and we had to tell the owner.
  3. If you're going to Partridge Green, you owe it to yourself to visit Dark Start Brewing Co., they do some lovely beer. My recommendations would be Hophead, Revelation and Summer Meltdown.
  4. Quoting bluenose: However the way he has managed to squeeeze the throttle bodies under the bonnet seems a good idea although I would be interested to know how it would affect engine power. Nick It won't if you supercharge it
  5. Thought I had a limiter on my 1700 Supersprint xflow, I was later told that I hadn't and what I had been experiencing was likely to have been valve-float. So unless you've changed valve springs you probably have the same limiter as I did.
  6. If you are using an original type 2 gearbox, you should probably budget for a quaife internals kit.
  7. If you have a 3.62 diff, or are happy with a 4-speed box (I do, and I am), then you could think about a Quaife 4-speed cluster for your casing.

  9. I'm fairly sure that by 1990 all were long cockpit. For your rollover bar choice, you need to know whether the rear suspension is a live axle or de Dion set-up.
  10. Looks like fun! One day.....
  11. This sounds normal to me, don't forget that in a de-dion car the diff casing is bolted to the chassis and it's very close to your left hip whereas in a live-axled car it isn't, hence you are less likely to notice any backlash on a live-axled car. Have chat with the people at your local meet, go out in their cars, take someone out in yours, you'll soon discover whether yours is unusual.
  12. I remember that, what a great feeling!
  13. Hi Andrew, could I have 1st dibs please?

    Caterham on Ebay

    Are you sure about that? Could it not be 5LC/nnnn/17RD indicating 5-Speed, Long Cockpit, engine number, 1700 Supersprint, Right Hand Drive, de Dion.

    Excellent! Thanks Mr Fox
  16. Won't Caterham be able to supply you with a replacement chassis plate?
  17. and check whether you have/need a vent in there to prevent vacuum build up.

    What make are the roof bars Angus, and how adjustable are the clamps that attach to the FIA bar?
