I hoped to avoid this topic, thought it could get a bit time-consuming, but couldn’t resist! It’s a 2009 175 Roadsport SV kit…
Caterham throttle bodies, fitted by the boys at Caterham Midlands, best mod out there.
A visit to The Two Steves for some ECU fettling to smooth things out after fitting R400 cams, injectors and valve springs.
Cat eliminator pipe, together with lighter silencer from JP Exhausts of Macclesfield for some quality sounds.
Carbon fibre propshaft with much better U/J’s. A thing of beauty but nobody can see it!
Nitron NTR1 suspension from Meteor.
AP racing brake master cylinder. Better brake pedal feel.
Flexi hoses for rear calipers.
JAL rear lights as well as a high level brake light and LED number plate lamp.
Home-made tool roll, only used once after forgetting final tightening on wheel nuts after dropping car off axle stands and setting off in a hurry!
Stronger rear anti-roll bar droplinks from McGill.
Fire extinguisher on rear bulkead between seats.
Extra lumbar support put into leather seats by local coachtrimmer.
Small 1” bracket mounted on transmission tunnel as clutch foot rest (the beauty of an SV!).
Better quality brake light switch from Car Builder Solutions.
Punched a hole through driver’s seat cushion, tidied with plastic trim, to fit crotch strap for infrequent track days.
Finally, apart from all the things I’ve forgotten in 15 years of ownership, a visit to Dave at Genzoe for a thorough flat-floor setup which made it steer beautifully.
When will it all stop?!
