I got the Dunlop Direzza's from tire rack and went on the Blat in Los Gatos California last Saturday. The tires were almost brand new with just a few miles on them and they performed beautifully as I followed Sean through some very spirited twisty bits. I am really happy with the purchase at just 120.00 per tire from Tire Rack. If any of you can be in California for next years event, it is a GREAT time with some really super roads and fine people. 16 cars hauling A__ !!

I have a 2001 Caterham 1700 Super Sprint with clamshell fenders. It came with YOKAMAMA Advan 032 R 185/60R 14 82H tires that are about worn out. Can anyone tell me where I might find replacements. Tire Rack doesn't stock any 14 inch tires and Yokahama USA does't list them as available. Yokahama Europe does have them in medium and soft compounds. I would like to avoid having to ship tires from Europe. Thanks, Dan

You guys are so cool to respond so quickly and in such a helpful mood. You're restoring my faith in humanity! I am making a list of your comments to bring to the mechanic on Wednesday. Has anyone felt with " Sports Car Performance in Santa Cruz ? http://www.emilesscperformance.com Emile is the owner and seems like a veteran european car guy. I frequently see Maserati Bora's and Merak's being serviced at his place and Lots of Jag's, sedans and roadsters and all the usual British marques. In the meantime it is a blast to drive and attempt to untangle ones hair. I have just had it three days and today while at the mechanic's making my appointment, we took off the bonnet and discovered, as I suspected, that I wasn't achieving full throttle with the pedal to the floor. Emile immediately showed me the linkage was at fault and I was only getting about 3/4 throttle. Still rather quick in 2nd and 3rd gear. I hope to be pleasantly surprised when I feel full throttle. Again, thanks to everyone and keep them coming. Dan

Thank you for the input. The garage floor is bone dry under the car. The car has two 40 mm Webers. You think fuel is floating in the carbs and causing the odor?. It does smell like gasoline. Is this something that can be adjusted by a competent mechanic?

I just took delivery day before yesterday of my 2001 Caterham 1700 Sprint. It seems to run well and idles beautifully at about 1200 rpm. I put it in my two car garage and when I got up yesterday morning the garage stunk to high heaven of gas and oil I guess. It was even seeping into the house. I went to Home depot and got some odor absorbing pouches, but they didn't work and this morning it smelled all over the house. Anybody out there ever have this problem, and is there a solution? Thanks for the help. My wife is about to loose her patience, which is usually abundant.

Dingo, I see you live in San Jose. I live in Santa Cruz. Do you currently have a 7? If you have time I would like to meet with you at your convenience to talk 7's and local resources. I have purchased my 7, but don't get it here in Ca. for a few weeks. Thanks, Dan

I just purchased a 2001 Caterham 1700 Super Sprint. It has the crossflow engine with dual Webers. I live in Northern California and don't know how much octane these motors require. Will 91 oct unleaded be sufficient? Thanks and looking forward toy meeting lots of you. Best, Dan
