  1. John, They narrowed the gap to 0.5mm and then replaced the sensor when that didn't work. I don't have any problems in the dry at all, track or road, no matter how long the drive is or how hot/cold the weather is. Hard cornering does not affect it. It only goes bonkers when it's wet, even slightly, and does it only above certain speed. I do notice a lot of muck building up in the sensor gap over time, though, so I clean it regularly. I wonder why they don't pick off speed from somewhere else? Val
  2. Have the same problem. It only manifests itself when the road is wet, though. I suspect the water affects the sensor somehow. CC tried to fix it, but to no avail. It normally goes to zero if the speeds rise above 70mph.
  3. I decided against butchering and bought a set of thin sparco pedals (don't remember the name). I then drilled a hole in the front side of the loop for the top sparco pedal bolt and one 90 degrees to it at the bottom of the loop. Then bent a 1mm metal strip (about 90 degrees) and drilled a couple of holes in that, so that one hole aligns with the bottom hole on the gas pedal loop and the other with the second (lower) hole in the saprco pedal. The fit is very solid. It works perfectly and looks fine. I don't have a picture of it unfortunately (need to take some )
  4. I had the same issue, especially on hotter days. I figured it was the placement of the air filter. It sits in the hottest area of the engine bay, so the air it has to digest is probably very thin. When driving, the cooler air reaches it, but once stationary... Anyhow, I decided to make a "cold air" intake. I bought a flexible air hose (similar diameter as the air filter), a carbon air intake/filter thingy and a heat blanket to shield the hose from the exhaust pipes (it routed along the side wall next to the exhaust). The air comes from above the radiator (used a scoop to expand the inlet area). It looks crude-ish, but work perfectly well. Feels like it pulls harder a bit. On a side note, It now guzzles more fuel too. I don't have a picture of the contraption handy unfortunately. ☹️
  5. Yup, guilty as charged. 😬 *wavey*
  6. I have been using 5W50 as per Caterham's recommendation for 2 yrs now. Works fine on the road or track.
  7. Neatly tucked in Hi again
  8. If I am not mistaken, there is an adjustment bolt (allen I think) on the rack itself. You may try adjusting that (not 100% if this would work though).
  9. Could be the diff breather. Mine was spewing oil out of it like mad under hard use. I now affixed a "catch tank" of sorts to stop it.

    Track day wheels

    My vote goes to Compotitive CXR. You can get them in many shades of grey as I recall. I went with 13" and Yokos A048 combination (185/F and 205/R). The guys over there will do any offset you specify. And the quality is great.
  11. I believe there should be a rectangular metal cap over it. The hole leads to nowhere vital to be honest. There is a clutch bleed nipple and the hose. That's about it, if I recall correctly.

    Mud flaps

    I made them from a cabon fiber sheet that originally comes as a rear wing protector. My rear wings are CF, so I did not need to install the protectors. One sheet was enough for both guards. Drilled a couple of small holes in the front wings and used a pair of rivets and black plastic washers. They blend well with the front CF and stop most of the crap flying into the car.
  13. Yup, the filter is in the way, but the hoses can go under it. Shorten the flow splitter connections and it fits just fine. Sorry, I don't have a pic handy.
  14. Andrew, Mine is an SV and I have no heat build up issues, even on the hot summer day on the track. The tunnel gets warm but not hot. I have no insulation in the tunnel at all. I do have the CC leather tunnel cover though and my thigh rests on it, so I never actually touch the bare metal. The worst heat build up you'll experience is sitting in a traffic jam on a hot day. ☹️
  15. No, no details yet. But there is "room" for an extra 20bhp (I suspect the R500 intake will do the trick). The dash very well may be too.
