Very recent first Caterham owner here.
After spending months on the fence I finally pulled the trigger over X-mas on a Seven Sprint (based on a 160). The car has spent most of its life being dry stored so I have covered about 300 miles so far ironing out the kinks (and loving every minute of it).
Now considering making some performance upgrades before summer. Wondering if there are any other UK based 160 owners who have made any upgrades? What sought of changes have you made? In my (limited) experience the braking performance seems to be the obvious place to start so considering upgrading the master cylinder, front pads and brake fluid; has anyone already tried this on a 160? What was the outcome?

Thanks All,
Some useful advice (and healthy cynicism!).
Avoided the master cylinder upgrade but fitted new AP racing pads and changed/bled the brake fluid. Feel and stopping performance has improved dramatically. Very happy with the outcome (especially as it cost me less than £80 and hardly took any time at all).
Onto the next tinkering project before the summer - suggestions welcome?
