My last 7 was a 150 sigma. It obviously had more induction 'bark' Hopefully this will give me some of that back- albeit from the other side of the engine!
-
I bought it from Caterham south
-
Decision made- ordered today
-
Can anyone tell me who makes this and what price it is? Are there alternatives? Thinking my sigma supersport sv is a bit 'quiet'
-
Agree with using PPG- also Woolies trim supplies to 3mm thick self adhesive neoprene sheet which is ideal for lining the wings to stop star cracks.

For me on a lower power car the right gearing has a big impact on performance. My first 7 was a 150 sigma with a 5 speed box. To be honest it always felt a bit 'flat' My current car is a 140 supersport with a 6 speed and TBH it feels a lot better than the first. I know that a lot has been written about the 150 engine not making that power, but regardless of this, a 140 with a 6 speed is a very 'sweet' combination.

Howard- thanks for the offer. I changed the lambda. The engine seems to be idling ok. Next test is a good drive to see how things are. I did notice that the old lambda was very black- which suggests mixture richness.
-
Spoke to the factory- they confirmed my (and yours) suspicions. Got the exact same (genuine ford) part on ebay, so hopefully problem solved. Tip of old sensor was really sooty and black.
-
Thanks for this. Does anyone have any documentation on how the ignition/injection system works? I would like to understand more if i can

Just back from a few days fun in north wales. However my sigma supersport has developed a running issue. Here is what is happening: 1.Start from cold normal - cold start etc fine 2.Engine performs normally for a period of time 3. Engine then starts to misfire and get fluffy at very light throttle openings 4. When this happens the idle speed hunts between 500-2000 rpm and then stalls 5. If I stop and restart the cycle repeats. I have a funny feeling it might be a dodgy lambda probe? Hopefully someone has had something similar. I know that a lot of aftermarket mgt systems use the lambda probe at idle and then switch to the tps. Over to the experts

Just doing a few checks before going on a trip to north wales. I think I have a leak from the passenger side brake caliper- puddle on garage floor. I have read a few other posts and this seems to be an issue. Any tips? I have contacted the factory to see what they say- car is just on 3 mth warranty limit. It's a 2010 SV. Better to find it now I suppose.
-
exactly- I think that one of the reasons for using the CF guards is that they will cover chip damage on a wing- stops you having to re-paint. However if you are starting from scratch 3M film is the way to go
-
Had them on my last car- which I got from Millwood. They fitted them using rivets before collection. Only point I would make is that you need to cover them with paint protection film to keep them good. They will mark and get shabby just like the normal wings.
-
Had it done (on Caterham yellow) and it worked.
-
Best thing to do is take the car (or a piece of it) to someone who mixes automotive paint and has a scanner. They can then scan the car and mix an exact match.
-
Good to see a response. However if "aspects of chassis/diff carrier" need a re-design, then will it not the the case that people with the existing chassis design will still be left with an issue?
-
does this mean CC are working on another solution apart from the one already in place?
-
It will be interesting to get an answer on this
-
Are your bolts the old or new type?
-
Thanks for all the comments. I just want to make good decisions. I do not have an issue with the suspension in my current car- except for the fact that it does not have adjustable rear platforms. I reckon a really good geo/flat floor set up will make a world of difference to the new car. Most of my driving is one up- and at 100kg I do have a big impact or corner weight!
-
I'm about to buy another 7 (currently have a SV 150- 5 speed) I'm going for supersport engine 140hp/6 speed/LSD on a roadsport. I will be retaining my 15" CR500 wheels. I'm also going for adjustable platforms all round. My question is what about adding a watts linkage and rear ARB? TBH I feel that being able to properly set geo/ride height etc + a 6 speed box will correct two of the weaknesses that I feel my current car has. I have read a lot of existing threads, but I would like a bit more input.
-
I guess this is what needs clarified. If the current mod does all these things- then all is good.
-
Notwithstanding the fact that the carrier needs a bit of re-design, surely if you want to replace a diff with another type, the first thing you would do is find one that fits in the space available?
-
So, Is the concensus that the new diff carrier is a MK1 solution to stop the brake pipe being crushed? The MK2 solution will therefore aim to stop the diff hitting the de dion tube?
-
Mmmm Not much point on collecting until there is a solution?
