just landed a 421 system and thinking of using the sleeve stuff  called DEI speed sleeves,not too tight but enough to protect the area,bought the V8 header so i have plenty of spare

yep oakmere or Caterham

thinking of wrapping mine ,found some sleeve stuff and will give it a try. Wondered if the flow is better, will the heat be less,or am i talking rubbish.The stuff I have seen is looser than the wrap ,so heat transfer in the bay is reduced. So no need to spin the back of the alternator terms ?

what are the views on exhaust wrap/sleeve to reduce heat ? and did anyone have to mod the alternator or starter due to heat

ok, finding out 421 systems for a K series are a bit thin on the ground used,so I have sold my soul and purchased new from Caterham . I will be fitting it over the coming month once I get the car MOT'd

Any tips on cutting the hole in the body (tools and technics used?) .Also considering giving the system a polished finish,again tips welcome.Do I have to change anything under the bonnet on my 2005 s3 imp chassis? Alternator and starter ok?,would you used wadding to keep the heat down?

I have been looking for ages with no luck , had to buy new ....ouch

Tazio,

 has he got any k series exhaust manifolds?? text him but no reply yet

I know ,tell me about it!!

4-2-1 k series exhaust would be good ,and his contact details...

the full vhpd system was the one i was looking at 

think the seloc set were £500 used

yep

I have the caterham 4-1 (standard) already so dont think its what i am after.is yours standard single pipe out of the side or 4-1 primaries outside the car?

not after bragging rights ,but at 140 with 2 up i notice a difference.To get it around 160-165 would be the sweet spot IMHO, nice and ample for road use.My old elise was around 170-175 and it suited it well,especially with the c/r box

whats the best price new and who from??

long shot ,anyone got one stuck in their garaged unloved they want rid of ?? landed my first caterham after a very long wait (30yrs) and the upgrade bug is starting to bite

yes ,still wet behind the ears.

Shame ,i though they would help owners of the brand ,i know bell and covill give seloc members a discount

will stick a WANTED  ad

contacted mike,out of my price range unfortunately

Do the club not get any discounts from Caterham or Oakmere on parts?

I'd keep the old cat can for mot time

looked at the caterham 4=2=1 system and box for the vhpd,would this do?

thats been done already, and i agree

no not yet,as mentioned i dont want  really to split the engine or take out the box

yep seen daves page, ok so exhaust first to see if it frees up the engine a little,throttle bodies on my xmas list
