  1. the bonzes versions need a gentle squeeze on the lower tangs - easy to do, pop it on, rotate 180, gentle squeeze, rotate back180, smear of lube, fit gear lever then blat

  2. We had dry weather here yesterday too so I had my first blat since October and the first on the new engine after mapping.... Very very impressive the torque is wonderful and much more linear than previous and bloody fast.. 😁

    Light load mapping is superb I only ran on the open loop map to try in order to highlight and coughs etc... Which I will. Correct with adaptive... 

    The noise on WOT is enough to wake most of Herefordshire... 😅... I no longer need a horn...

  3. Glad to here she is back to life.. 😃

    Only reason I asked about the CID if not your injectors would be paired and the injector timing then makes little difference... I don't run one and mine are paired. 

    I emailed. My old and current data over for reference providing your initial lambda map is reasonable your will be OK and update after a brief run after checking your adaptive data. 

  4. Over the tyres rather then thro. The wheel. To reduce the chance of rim. Damage. 

    Strops and ratchets from the cage or roll bar there's not a lot of weight on them.. You can always add ballast to the boot and passenger side. 

    Single rollers to can strop around the A frame to Dedion but this will pull off the drive roller. On a twin set up.

    ARP Bolt yes I use the OEM version single use but about £8 each.. Though my crank is keyed for security and convenience. 

    Throttle linkage mine is on top over number 3 & 4 with the cable coming in from the bulkhead side I found the underside option too busy although I have since moved my top hose to the exhaust side now too. 

    If you need photos let me know ASAP as I am away after tomorrow night for a few days

     

  6. My reference was to the 1/2 extra rim width above the recommended rim width from Toyo which was a point made by the OP. 

    Although the extra tyre section 185mm to 205mm will reduce the ability to balance the car on the throttle on lower powered cars it's not going to induce instant understeer. 

    The extra rake gained by fitting of 205/60 can be beneficial to the front end though you do get a reduction in castor... But since you didn't specify where you gained understeer I cannot be more specific. 

  7. If your car is under steering I would take a look at the entire set up....there areanyany reasons for this... An extra 1/2 of rim width will not make a snap change in the handling.

  9. Caterham are not subject to NVH development in the same way tintops are... Costs...! 

    We have engines and transmissions mounted on rudementarry metalaltic mounts many of which date back to.the early 1960's... 

    Different frequency of resonance can manifest themselves in vibration or noise booming etc as you have found alterimg the engine speed changes this frequency equally just placing your hand on the headlight has the same effect.. 

    Bonnets, rear arches, headlights, steering wheels can all.show these symptoms but unless you have had recent engine work clutch replacement etc or encountend and engine or transmission problem it's unlikely to be e major problem. 

    If the headlight become annoying you cod slightly alter the engine idle speed or add a small piece of noise deadening material inside the headlight bowl.
