Following a very frustrating, upsetting and expensive engine build a few years ago by a relatively well known company in Caterham circles I finally decided to get Rob @ Ratrace Motorsport to build me one good engine out of the 1.8 original R300 engine I had and the 1.9 disastrous engine. He took over 100 hours to build me an absolute work of art and I took the car yesterday to Luke Stevens Developments/Team Leos Racing near Newmarket where Steve Greenauld and Luke spent 5 hours mapping the engine. The result was an outstanding 237 bhp and 163 lb ft torque. The engine sounds and feels amazing. So my car has now morphed from an R300 to an R500. My thanks go to Rob for building such an incredible engine and to Luke & Steve for a fantastic day. They explained everything carefully, let me help them and supplied copious quantities of hot tea. On the 100 mile drive home it felt like a ballistic missile. If anybody wants to know specific details about the build and/or choice of cams, etc. then PM me.
