Interesting that it has K L in the number I thought K was for a Ford Kent engine, and L for LHD that's how mine is Being #6, I wonder if it's the oldest Westfield "7" left out there

It’s LHD, i think i am the 3rd owner so according to the 2nd it was complete car imported in. Tag says 1983 i will post the tag. It’s a 1275 mg corect. Wheels are an ultra lite style wheel. I was on the fence to get wore wheels for a more correct look. But i do drive quite “spirited” so not sure I’d like look for performance trade off (open to suggestions if im wrong on that) the previous own was getting older and not giving the car quite the TLC it deserved so i have been slowly getting proper again. I’ve owned it for about 2 yrs now

I'm going through a lot of medical issues so I have to sell my car. I need to get into something less wild. This car is scary fast! The Car was built by Tony Vaccaro president of Loony's car club back in 2011. He built it for a very close friend who passed away shortly after the car was built. Tony garaged it and maintained the car in a heated garage keeping it in immaculate condition until I purchased it later with only 3500 k on it. It currently has 5050 K. 2010 Caterham R 400 2.0 Duratec Producing 265 HP. The Avon ZZ are in excellent shape with plenty of wear. It has a 9 gallon bladder fuel cell which will have to be replaced soon. The window washer is not hooked up and will need to be replaced. It will come with a roof and side panels for weather running. Spare luggage tire rack that can be reattached. Livery is the popular British racing green with yellow stripe. I'm willing to trade for an Evora if someone has one. I'm asking $50000 K

What an incredible change of landscape. Beautiful! Thank you for showing us another side of Arizona.

@Ian7 I def checked it before using it and it had some type of oil in it. I changed it out to the suggested motul 75w90 (1.3 liters). The stuff that came out was brown ish but dont know what it was like going in. I added some Redline 80301 limited slip friction modifier back in august. that helped a little. The pre load has remained steady at about 35ft lbs. Operationally it hasn't changed in performance. Since the titan LSD is bound to fail, I figured I would get the tacsport lsd and the 3.64 diff. It's def not happening until winter. Maybe get the 3.91 rebuilt and either sell it or have it as a backup.

Yes, the scenery in the Sonoran desert is much different....when you get to Prescott you are in the pine forest area...

Thanks! I agree likely not, but still a valuable data point.

What a fantastic road — and beautiful photos! The landscape is completely different from ours, but I can see exactly what you mean. Those bends and climbs must be wonderful in a Seven. This is one of the things I love about these cars: the roads may be thousands of miles apart, but behind the wheel we seem to look for the same thing. Thank you for sharing it.

Arizona state 89 from Wickenburg to Prescott reminds me of some of roads I'd driven in Italy....I'll get some better pics. The elevation in Yarnell is 5000 ft and it is a switchback from 2500 on up... Prescott is also at 5k but there is a drop/valley and then a climb to 6k with many hairpins.... great drive but a careful one as there is no shoulder just the mountains on one side and a drop off on the other. The pics are Yarnell hill.

In 2 years and only 11k miles? Did you drain it and see what came out? Did you even get any oil out, never mind any metallic bits? I notice the "no oil" sticker on the new unit, any chance your original was dry? (but hard to imagine a dry diff lasting 11k miles).

I remember Al's name... I think he was active on the forums back then.

@dsscats bought it a few months ago.

If you have the required dimensions, or better, an example of what you need, there are several guys in open wheel racing could duplicate the parts for you. Try Momentum Motorsports at CMP in south carolina.

That orange Caterham was Al Navarro's - somewhere on this forum there is an account of him driving in to Manhattan. Then it became Mopho's in CA. Then it recently became someone else's. @JohnCh help me please - who bought it?

Id not have noticed back then, but theres a 7 there too.

I think i can attend. Likley bring one or both Boys. I havent been to a car show in a long time. Fun fact, my Elise was featured at the entrance of the 2008 NY Autoshow.

It was better if you had thunder and lightning and high winds. We had none of those at the track while I was still there. What we had was rain. Short periods of no rain. The autocross line was drying when they shut down the driving courses for lunch. Sure as fate, the rain started up again after the lunch break. I ran some more autocross, shared some runs with a young man in a newer Lotus. There was a spot to shoot some panning shots of the big track with a roof over my head, so I got the real camera out. When the rain started to get really serious in the late afternoon I packed up and headed back to the hotel. I drove out of the heavy rain as I went east towards Salt Lake City. Part of the drive was was remarkably dry. I don't remember seeing any lightning in my mirrors, so maybe they escaped severe weather for the last few track sessions. Going towards the city at rush hour was OK, there was only one serious traffic backup and it did not last that long. When I reached the hotel, there was light rain. The @toldfield Seven was in the car park ready to travel. He later hailed me to join "toldfield et al" for supper. They all had interesting stories to tell. The iPhone picture taken from inside KMAN 2.9 makes it look a lot more bright and cheery than it really was...

Thank you! This is one of those roads where the Caterham really feels at home. Lots of bends, beautiful scenery and very little traffic. Italy still hides some wonderful roads like this.

Pin 4 on a YWB 100970 is rated for either 20A or 30A continuous. Why did it overheat? Assuming it is fused correctly, maybe sanity check the wire gauge to the connector and check for corrosion or a repair or splice in that circuit. If you can't identify the cause, add an inline fuse on the lead to pin 4 as a safety. Not elegant, but if the problem reoccurs, a new fuse will have you running rather than replacing the relay yet again.

Another recommendation for KTR. The only other shop in the area I can recommend with confidence is Boston Sportscar in Weston. For both KTR and Boston Sportscar, the work you describe will be routine. Whereas for most shops it risks stretching their familiar skills and comfort zone (despite being a fairly easy job).

Relay unit ordered through Rimmer Bros and a plug kit from another UK shop as I couldn't find a US shop with the wiring harness that would sell less than 2000 units or would take 4 months to arrive. So... I'm out for the upcoming 7 track day.
