    Is it not that the lowered floors are for the later 96 on chassis? Didn’t think lowered floors were a thing back when the tunnel was the curved ally type

    None of the above. It’s not homologated in that way. It only had the emissions checked to mot standards.

    NVH? Yes you’ll get lots of that. It’s probably been looked at and that’s the quick fix that does the job adequately.

    The are very low volume cars that have a lot of hand fabricated parts fitted. If they say do it then they do it to every one they assemble there that need it. You just have to remember that at the end of the day it’s a kit car not a Porsche even if some of them cost as much

    That’s the same part I’ve seen on any caterham bellhousing I’ve had looking at it. Looks like the one I got in the bellhousing direct from Titan one time and they supplied the factory

    Anything can be repaired if you try hard enough. You can always contact oxted/thundersports and see if they will repair or sell the part to you?

    I’ve only ever seen the one with the large flat area fitted. Available from https://westfield-sportscars.co.uk/shop/3249004-clutch-release-arm-piviot-pin-7549?page=43#attr= it seems

    I’d take the material from the steel base of the mount. A half round file and 30 seconds and it’ll be clear. I wouldn’t take any of the weld away personally

    I use a bit of 15mm copper water pipe which is a snug fit in the Ford spigot bearing with masking tape wrapped round it until it’s a snug fit in the clutch plate. Done me well for several clutches over the years

    Fixed cam or vvt makes a difference. The fixed cam engines were the same spec as the 100hp ones from a focus. The ones that caterham used were the after sales crate engines, 416zsg, so it’s possible they have a slightly different engine number format to any in a car.

    Worth selling? Depends on how bad you need the cash. Neither of those things are available new any longer so if you don’t I’d store them. That said I’d love that vhpd for mine lol

    I think it might be a Ford 100e pedal bracket. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/ford-100e-lotus-brake-master-cylinder-247133406 Not that it helps you find one but it might let you broaden your search

    Buy a code reader and have a look. The codes are all standard ones and point you pretty well in the right direction. The obd port is under the grommet where the fuses are

    The vhpd lightweight flywheel was in the region of 3.7kg. The r500 was a little lighter, possibly 3.3kg. This is from a few scribbled notes from years ago but if the ttv one is in that ballpark it’ll be similar to one of those. QED do one at 3.2kg. Much lighter and it’ll have no idle strength and stall a fair bit I expect.

    It might be that the wiring to or the cam sensor isn’t working. I think it’s the same on the mems 3 as we did on the Elise that if it doesn’t see the cam sensor and so can’t sync up, it lets it fire and then stops after a few moments.
  16. simon_h
    Just to rule out something. You say it’s a supersport so I doubt it is but it’s not an eu3 car is it? In other words has it got a distributor or plug top coils?
  17. simon_h
    TTV are good, I'd look at them for sure

    I'd just buy a cheap older laptop that isn't fruit based from FB or similar. I cant think of any aftermarket, or OE ECU's I've worked with that have a program that has a native Apple IOS capability.
  19. simon_h
    If I’m right in thinking the rods will also work in a 1600 xflow on a standard xflow crank I’ll have them please. Might have the cam cover if no one wants it who’ll actually use it, as a thing to add to my collection of interesting bits and bobs too.

    To even the playing field for the haves and have nots with regards to charging, I think they should start charging home EV charging at 20% vat, with smart meters I'm sure it could be differentiated from normal home use somehow. They couldn't really complain about that as they still don't have to pay umpteen % of fuel duty on top like normal fuels do, although I'd expect the government to be looking into that eventually if the loss of revenue becomes too high.
  21. simon_h
    Is this 4 liners or 3?
  22. simon_h
    You can get some for a bit less here. They are a caterham specific disc so it’s reliant on someone having made a pattern part.

    Steering parts

    simon_h replied to Ed White's topic in Wanted

    I have (well had somewhere) a spare Lifeline type quick release top column. No hub, just the steel column. If that's any use, and if I can locate it tbh, let me know how badly you want it! In other words make me an offer as I have no idea and a new set of both parts are over £300!

    From what info I have the shift light on the CT1 ecu used on the 160 should be driven from the large ecu plug on pin A2. In theory if you connect an LED to 12v and connect its ground side to this it should come on at whatever the calibrated shift light point is. That value I cant remember and this is old info from years ago so it might no longer be correct.

    Hi Gordon, I'll have them please. Cheers, Simon
