  1. 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.
  2. Hi James My only note of caution there is the map you will be on for running in although you are partially correcting yours from a Raceline map. You need to be able to use WOT to the Redline ASAP in order fully bed the rings... I realise opinions from different builders vary so please feel free to ignore this, but mine and all our clients race engines were always run on on the rollers in a controlled environment without risking over lean maps (or over rich) dips etc you can also monitor power levels pressures and temps too. I seen far too many engines ruined by being too gentle for prolonged periods I used Millers mineral CRO oil on Wednesday which will be changed before going out in her, Though your mineral oil will be Since the weather is likely to scupper your plans you may want to turn some spacers or make some adjustable tube runners, your harmonic calcs are spot on however proving these gains will also highlight any losses and comparison of torque graphs and profiles is quite enlightening. Emerald make adjustable tube runners be we made some up with plastic tubes for a friends on 48's a couple of years back very easy to change on the rollers. If it doesn't stop raining here soon I will be converting my car to a hovercraft...
  3. That's the norm using brake rollers and a pressure transducer on the pedal.

  6. Pretty sure there is a discount code. In the members section too for go race...
  7. New batch just made and ready for delivery.....
  8. Speak to Jake @ TRS they can offer 2" lap belts with the integral adjusters and tongue 'Quick Adjuster' from the International set, He made mine with 3" shoulder and 2" lap and crotch belts alloy adjusters throughout with the shoulders belts he correct length and all 6 had eye bolt plates as apposed to clip hooks. BM me if you want me to send you the order I made with Jake, or photos of the lap adjusters
  9. looking at the Burton labels these are over the OEM labels.... perhaps Burton have wrongly labeled them
  10. I'm sure you have but have you popped the mic over them just in case they've just been mis etched size wise...it's a long shot...
  11. 2 steps forward... 1 step back.... Burton are open 0900-1700 on Saturdays so you might be able to push them to despatch the correct ones today...
  12. 205 tyres have been used on 8" rims since Ford Anglia days...
  13. R888R are most certainly performance based and not in the comfort category... By not means are they a harsh tyre but they are a road legal track tyre.
  14. I'm referring to the bore of the throttle body 45 or 48 I think they are referring to the air horn length the shorter 45mm ones sit inside the bonnet the longer 90mm ones need their own window
  15. ....you may also need to re set ride heights, castor, camber toe and rake etc too
  16. no issue with 185/60 x 13" using the race stays even using 6.5" front rims
  17. The above doesn't specify whether your looking at 45mm or 48mm TB's, the later would permit further upgrades cams or head etc without additional outlay with no adverse effects on your current set up.
  18. Worth checking what pressure reg you have fitted as you can calculate the injector flow and requirement from that.. Inlet length should be checked on the rollers as there are good gains to be had here. If you opt for injectors in the throttle bodies then there's more expense with fuel rails and pico injectors. If you go to but Bosch green giants please buy from a reputable source as there are many copies out there.
  19. Swindon offer some different sizes to Burton so may be worth checking both.. I needed some from each.... Shout if you need them forwarding..
  20. James Have you tried Burton Power or Swindon Powertrain over here, if they wont ship to you send them to me and I will redirect them for you.
