Now Sold From my now sold graduates car these are less then half worn and used for 1 track day and 2 races. These are the later AO48's so marked as for 'competition use only'. Wheels are straight and overall in good nick however some paint chipping at the rims due to tyre changes. Make a great second set of wheels for track days etc or racing with Grads. £250 ono, based in St albans -
Now sold These were used for approx 5 sprints and about 200 miles on the road so not even 1 1/4 worn. The wheels are all straight and are black with polished rims, could do with a refurb, usual marks from tyre changes etc. Fantastic tyres, the car was sold last year so clearing out the wheels and tyres I used for sprinting. Price £300 ono, based in St Albans

I incorrectly said minilights, these are in fact on the 8 spoke caterham wheels. Price reduced to £300

I purchased this new in 2017 for an engine in/out job and it did the job very well and the likely hood is it will now sit in my garage unused! I think these are £200 new so £100 pick up from St albans, its in the condition you would expect....its lifted 1 engine out and then put it back again! Steve

Used for 2 races at brands and 1 trackday, these were purchased in 2016 so are not EU marked for road use but are perfect for trackdays and racing e.g. graduates. They are on minilights which are powder coated orange and have the usual chips in paint however are all straight. Tyres are approx 1/3rd worn so loads of life left. I'm based in St Albans, £350 Steve

I bought 4 new ZZS tyres for sprinting in July 2017 and these are on 4 x minilights. I have done approx 4 sprints so in reality less then 100 miles so these are literally just scrubbed in. The wheels could do with a refurbish however are straight and basically its just the lacquer that has lifted in places due to tyre fitting. I'm based in St Albans and I'm asking £450 for the set of 4. Thanks Steve

Hi I'm selling my Simpson FHR device as I am no longer racing. I purchased this is 2016 and have run this in my Caterham academy car with lowered floors. I'm a 38 inch chest and the small fits 36-40 inch chest. Its in great condition having only been used for about 10 events (5 race weekends and 5 sprints) and has all stickers inc of MSA scrutineering and FIA FHR standards in place. Tethers are like new and I found it very easy and comfortable in use. £350.00 Steve

im based in St Albans and have a 1.6k ex academy car from 2006 with the standard open diff and 5 speed box. syncro from 1st to second looks like it’s in the way out so was looking for any recommendations for someone to fix the gearbox and install an lsd? Any recommendations greatly received! I can’t be bothered to take the gearbox and diff out at the moment so would love a drive in and out service :) steve

Thanks for sharing Andy Steve

Bought some pagid pads and they went straight in, they were 2 quid more then the cheap set I bought so clearly its worth spending the extra! More importantly the fronts now lock before the rears...balance is restored
-
No at the top of the pads you have the spring which pushes the pads in place, these are simply to strong to enable you to push down on the caliper body to get the bolts aligned. Think it might just be the pads so will try another brand
-
I'm in the process of switching out the rear mintex pads for standard pads on my 2006 k series academy car (switching to class 1 tyres has meant there is now too much rear bias). The pads are sierra standard pads however when I attempt to fit them although the pad shape is all correct the top springs are so strong they prevent me from physically pushing the caliper pad holder thingy down far enough to get the bolts back in! Anyone else had this, the mintex go straight in, no probs. Steve
-
Thanks Richard, I have 1144's on the rear (recently replaced) however not sure what I'm running on the front so I'll check. Steve
-
I have just switched to a539 tyres to compete in class 1 sprints and I now have major rear brake bias, the rears lock up very easily and frustratingly I had to keep coming off the brakes to stop the car spinning at high speed. Is anyone running higher friction front pads to help balance the rear bias when switching to lower grip tyres? Thanks in advance Steve
-
mine has about half a litre left in the apollo. I think the bottom hoses are a fair bit higher then the bottom of the tank so they only drain oil down to the bottom of the lower hose leaving about 0.5-1ltr of oil?
-
they quote 152 however not sure if thats BHP or PS so I guess they do fit in class 2 or 3
-
I'm sure like most I'm always looking at potential new toys! Was wondering what class a 310 would fall into? Does this squeeze into class 2/3 or is just the 270 that now falls into these classes? Steve
-
Feel free not to respond (I won't be offended) if this question is deemed giving away too much competitive insight! Running in class 1 I have never ran yoko A539's before so was wondering if I should run tyre pressures as per zzs's/AO48's or not? Looking forward to tomorrow, hoping for sun :) Steve
-
Just realised the clocks go forward this weekend.....that was lucky was almost an hour late :)
-
Just tried to start the car and it fired up on the 1st attempt....not bad as its still on the trailer and not been used since September. My license renewal arrived this morning too so i'm all in....its even quite warm this morning. Looking forward to meeting you all Steve

Hi All Just a quick question on the above and the recent MSA rule change re extinguisher servicing. Running in grp 1 an extinguisher is optional however I do have one fitted. Its not been serviced in my ownership does this mean: 1. I can ignore as this item is optional 2. Has to be serviced as its fitted 3. If I remove the bottle then I can forget about this Thanks Steve

Last session on a drying track (last sprint run) I was a little optimistic with my entry speed and didn't fall off but did clatter a cone. I have a smack right on the top middle part of the wing however no cracks so I think it just needs to be filled and sprayed black. Any advice on techniques/guides and filler greatly received :) Steve
