Pete - W.Sussex

Sorry, no, it's all or nothing I'm afraid. But I could deliver to Southwater if that's any help. Pete

Set of 4 used 13 inch - 2 x 6J, 2 x 8J, KN wheels with CR500 tyres used as wets on my trackday car. Wheels are not perfect but passable. One front in particular a bit tatty - shown below, others similar to second pic. Tyres are 2013 but hardly used and stored in the dark. £500. Collection only from West Sussex - just south of Horsham.

We've got a used 1800 crank that might do the job. It is out of an MGTF 160. We are in W.Sussex just south of Horsham.

I had a bit like that on mine, but perhaps not quite as bad. I rubbed it down to bare metal and used the Hammerite satin black. It's been fine for over a year.

Ta Geoff, I thought it must be about that.

Quick question which I don't seem to be able to find the answer to anywhere - what is the oil capacity of the 6 speed gearbox?

Just to confuse, I had Titan RBs fitted on my R400 Duratec with a standard Caterham remap and they are great. No problem on part throttle and the car picks up better with more breath at the top end - the cool air it now gets from the hole in the bonnet may be helping too.

The other issue to think about when moving to a single screen is if you are going to be carrying a passenger. IME the single screen leaves the passenger with the wind getting under their helmet (on a track) and it can feel like someone's trying to pull your head off.

Lucky - unless you have a very special one indeed I am sure it is not a straight 6. You might want to change that before advertising elsewhere.

Just an update on this - Powervamp did send me a new battery FOC. Given that it was entirely my fault that the battery was killed I think this is brilliant service

Thanks guys - glad it was not just me.

Reading another post on suspension set up reminded me that I wanted to ask POBC about this. On a recent track day I was out in an R300 race car - a new one for this season with the 6 speed sequential (great) but I could not get on with the handling. It was running with no front ARB and I found a lot of oversteer trying to put the power down coming out of bends, almost roll oversteer if there is such a thing. I was told all the racers run like this as it significantly helps the turn in (which I think it did) but on balance I felt the road set up on my road car was better and certainly quicker. It is probably all about the driver and I am certainly no racer but I would be interested in other peoples thoughts and experience.

Thanks for posting this AdamQ - near me and useful to know. Mine may need the rear wings done this winter.

Well mine didn't recover. Tried everything and whilst I got it up to 12.4 volts it would not even turn the ignition on. Am now taking the kind man at Powervamp up on his offer to replace the battery even though it has all been my fault. Interestingly I put a borrowed Powervamp 25 on the car which also clocked 12.4 on my meter and it started it perfectly! There are still lots of things I don't understand about electrics!

Yes I will. Even better, Powervamp seem to be offering to replace it FOC if it doesn't recover - that seems to be very generous of them.
