I use the Sealy pressure one in the first link. It's great, as long as you don't forget to put the gasket in the cap that goes on the reservoir. If you do, be prepared to use half a roll of kitchen towel mopping up the mess. Don't ask me how I know.....
-
Excellent - I'll see you there. I may be cutting it fine to get there in the morning as I can't travel the night before, having forgotten that I'm there on Saturday I've committed to stuff on Friday.
-
I'd forgotten that I had signed up to both days for Prescott until I got the email to provide details for the Saturday. Are there many people there the day before the Championship event on Sunday 24th?
-
That's great, thanks for the pic Paul

Was helping my Brother take some stuff out of his storage lock up and came across this place in north London, just next door. Pretty unassuming site where Colin Chapman first set up Lotus Engineering, and I would expect spent some time designing the Lotus 7.

Distracted me from my conference call!
-
Also in Herts (Bushey) and I started sprinting last year. My first event was at Goodwood as well - in hindsight it was a good one to start with. Drop me a note if you want to chat Cheers Andy

Heading out of town, south on the A41. Looks like you were having fun!
-
This is the one Caterham sells, though its out of stock at the moment. https://caterhamparts.co.uk/nose-cones/1936-timing-strut-academy-cars.html I bet Redline Components will have one in stock
-
My 2016 ex Academy car has it in the cockpit already. Very useful when I have one of my regular excursions on to the lesser used parts of a track!
-
Done. Making a weekend of it, doing both days in July. If the Jones' can't make it then I may be on for an inaugural class win (as there's only 3 of us in Class 2 from the list)!
-
Ooops. i just assumed I'd run the same number as last year! I can always amend it later I'm sure.
-
Assume its 16th and 17th and that's a typo? Have entered on the 17th - their online system is nice
-
Another classic additions cover here. Works well inside my garage to keep the dust off. Never worried about the scratch to the paint between debris and cover as I take my car on track and inevitably end up exploring the 'outer' parts of the circuit!
-
@Beagler I have the same engine (1.6 Sigma) and hear the fuel pump run for a second when I turn the battery isolator to 'on'. It's actually very helpful as its an audible cue that I have turned the isolator in the right way and everything should now be working.

I use the same model of brake bleeder from Sealy, I've found it works well
-
I bought this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Inflator-Portable-Rechargeable-Cordless-Motorbike/dp/B09MF6Z8CR?th=1 Works with all things I need inflated (different cycles, trailer tyres, Caterahm, road cars etc). There are quite a few like it on Amazon if this particular one doesn't kit fit the bill. I did buy a cheap soft case for it as they supplied a bag for it which was rubbish. Only annoying thing is I hamfistedly keep switching on the light when I use it.

Just to confirm, my car was a 2016 Academy car that I bought in Jan 2019. 125hp to 150hp upgrade involved new cams (they gave me back the old ones) and a remap. Not noticed much difference on the road, but big improvement on the track..
-
Yes, I did this. Wasn't cheap though as I paid for Caterham Gatwick to do it as part of a service and MoT. Maybe £1500?
-
That's what happened to me, registered and got an email after a number of days inviting me to reset my password
-
The Prescott system for registering as a competitor has been down the last few days, but its back up now (I just went in to upload pics of my 2022 competition licence to my account).
-
I have a 2016 ex Academy car and had the same issue with the throttle sticking when the pedal was flat to the floor. My problem was the pivot on the throttle body sticking. 1/8 turn loosen on the screw and some WD40 to lubricate sorted it.
-
As suggested on Graham's email, I've looked at the online registration system but there doesn't seem to be a Caterham championship category yet - are people putting it as class B for now?
-
That is an excellent plan - I'm very tempted. Just need to schedule in a free weekend as getting it on a Thursday or so, taking the old unit out and putting the new one in over the weekend and sending the other back on the Monday sounds like an excellent approach.

Cheers
