Preping a roadsport for iva

Quick question can I attach fuel tank Earth to one of the screws holding the sender unit.

My previous car had an Earth point as part of the tank but the one I am working on does not have this.

Paul received PM,  and will send  pic's  tomorrow

Car 140 Sigma SV

Sorry I know this has been covered before but would just like to check that I have fitted the correct damper on my Ex track car.

I started at the front and replaced the M! dampers with  Caterham part 75526AS, but now the ride hight at the front is only 110mm and I am at the on the threads on the adjustment The M1 shocks sat at about 170mm, clearance on the sump now is about 75mm

Confused SV ownner

Thanks Tony 

Think I will just make a couple of plates up i can get a sheet of ally for about £9 which will i suspect be cheaper that buying direct from caterham. I did't know what they were for until now.

Thank All 

I have learnt a a lot epically in regard to Geoff and Johnathan's links so I will move it to the spare ball softer setting and follow the suggestion in Geoff's post and re grease the ball. It's always good to which way to adjust thing instead of guessing.

Happy New Year 

First of all apologies if this seems a lame question but this is the first time I have had a car with De Dion suspension. Last car was  Live Axle.

My questions are doe's the below photo of the anti roll bar look right to to you guys as it seems very close to the wheel. This is an ex track/drift car so presumably suspension set for this purpose as I am now converting for road use should I adjust this ?

Thanks Dave

Part numbers always help,at least I know how much its going to cost me now.

Not sure if you would be interested in this set of M1 shocks & springs as they will come from my 2013 SV  which was used on the track, I guess the springs may be ok but not sure about the shocks. Also I probably won't be changing until late spring sometime.

Thanks again

Ralph

Ref Supersport SV Sigma 140

Hi all

As part of my IVA prep on my ex track SIGMA 140 car when checking the pedal box I found the Throttle pedal has been altered   ( and they did not do a good job of it, See Photo),

Going buy the look of what they have done am I correct in assuming I will have to order a, LOW SLUNG PEDAL FOR 30P190A Pedal Box (Can anybody confirm that I have this pedal box by the photo, or would I order a standard SV Pedal?

Any help appreciated

Ralph

Hello All

Urgently need Wiring diagram for a Supersport 140 Sigma (Ex Track Car) as it looks like I may have to replace the immobiliser and also add Cycle wing indicators and a tail light to pass IVA as well as all the other stuff

Ralph

Just a quick question.

Re working a Track car for road use (Preparing for IVA)

Stirling immobiliser fitted but as it was used on the track I just have the fob and the aerial wires taped under the dash (Not connected to any Red light ).

To start the car you just wave the fob around the Aerial 

My questions are 

1. Is an Immobiliser part of the IVA ?

2. If so would it pass as it Is ?

Any Help appreciated
