P/N = drop the "O" at the end.

I have a brand new CF airbox (part # 35E058A0) for sale. Part is $850 plus shipping from Caterham. Fits Duratec with roller barrels. $500 OBO - Buyer pays shipping.

Car is now sold. Thanks to all who enquired and/or commented on the car.

In TX we have at least 2 ways we can title a Caterham. This one is titled a 2012 Caterham as a Custom Vehicle. This eliminates the need for an annual inspections amongst other things. I am unfamiliar with CA registration requirements.

This beauty began life as a 2012 SV Superlight R400 left-hand drive kit brought to life by Caterham of Denver. I bought if from the original owner 5 years ago. Configuration was: - Caterham black inside and out - Lowered floors - Metric Chassis - Wide track DeDion suspension - 2.0 L Duratec w/standard intake @ 210 HP - Caterham 6-Speed Gearbox - 15” Wheels - Windshield and full weather kit - Car was originally titled in Colorado. After driving for a while, I undertook an 18-month complete strip and rebuild. My idea was a “GT” build balancing power for the track with durability for long road trips. Many, many upgrades were added and the current configuration is as follows: Paint/Trim/Finish - Custom multi-coat dark gray paint with 2-color painted strip. Xpel paint protective film front to tail in including fenders and wings (painted ones) - Painted frame, cockpit, inside engine bay black - Floor pans (top and bottom) and roll bar textured powder coating in black - Carbon Fiber wings, fenders, whiskers, door trim, rear wheel arch trim, front indicator covers, aero-screen (Caterham), mirrors, and rear light buckets - Note: two sets of carbon fiber fenders and wings. One set is clear and another set painted same gray as body color - Also have extra bonnet painted and striped same as the one on the car. Planed on eventually cutting one for air intake and adding R500 CF intake cover I have. - Soft Bits for Sevens mohair boot cover (UK) - Soft Bits for Sevens mohair full cockpit tonneau Suspension/Wheels/Handling - Force Racing 13” lightweight billet aluminum wheels (Force Racing UK) w/Avon ZZR’s - Also - 15” Caterham 10 spoke Orcus wheels and Avon CR 500’s - Quantum Two Zero shocks from Meteor Motorsports (UK – Thanks Simon!) - All new bushings - Upgraded to PowerFlex bushings where available. Caterham new for others. - Adjustable WESMO Uniball Camber Kit from Westerman-Motorsports (Germany) - New brake shoes and wheel bearings Cockpit - Momo D Steering wheel - Momo Round Steering Wheel - Caterham black shifter knob - Caterham carbon fiber look tunnel cover - Standard Caterham leather seats and belts - Note: In images, shift lights are not seen as they are tucked under the dash. My next upgrade was to be a digital dash and I did not want to mount/drill the new scuttle. Electrical - Stock Caterham gauge and dial package - All lights changed to LED from Just Add Lightness (UK) - LED strip brake/turn/flasher lights that mount on roll bar uprights sourced from Caterham owner/electrical engineer on E-bay (see images) - LED Headlights – China made but I have run them on off road/on road cars for 6 years with no problems - SBD Motorsports ECU – 94A w/CAN to USB connector - Braille Racing Battery - Modified fuse panel with swingout door in engine bay to make it easier to access (see images) Drive Train - Original BMW LSD @ 3.62 ratio – the replacement differential bracket from Caterham to replace the one that was breaking has been installed - Prop shaft balanced - Original Caterham 6-speed - New clutch and clutch release bearing at rebuild. Has lightweight flywheel from Caterham Motor - Original 2.0 Duratec block - Installed Caterham dry sump - Installed Caterham roller barrels - Bottom end remains stock (did confirm ARP connecting rod bolts were installed at original build) - New head - Replaced small port w/Large port reworked by Beachman Racing (Thanks Bruce!) – Ported and polished, new valve/stem springs and caps, un-shrouded valves/seats - Vernier adjustable cam gears w/new Cosworth friction washers - Cast aluminum valve cover from Massive Speed (USA) - New Caterham silencer, cat bypass, black ceramic coating on all exhaust components including headers - ARP head studs, flywheel bolts and crank bolt - Tuned and dyno’d – 225 HP (+- depending on your beliefs in dyno mfg high/low tendencies and LSD losses) Other/Extras - Installed stainless Rivnuts to connect scuttle top to vertical firewall panel to allow for removal (see images) - Extra bonnet (mentioned before – painted and striped) - Caterham Car Cover - Caterham windshield, top, boot cover, sticks and full doors - Spare front brake rotors - Spare front suspension upper/lower A arms - Wearable/breakable bits including bearings, brake lines, bushing of all sorts, ARP bolts, sensors/senders, throttle cable, belts - 100’s of pictures of the rebuild Currently titled in Texas and resides in Houston. Car has 1~1,900 miles with ~2,000 since rebuild. It is extremely well sorted and runs/handles like a dream. In the pictures below you will see different trims – 13”/15” wheels and clear/painted fenders and wings. I also continue to finish some odds and ends like adding decals, side mirrors, etc. so you will see some variance in the photos. Arthritis and reaction time are my enemies so it’s time to let this one go before I do something that requires me to start all over again. Posting here before going down the online auction route ……. $54,500 for everything. Negotiable without the spares.

mrmustang ...... Sent a PM. Let me know if you got it or not.

I second Mike and Taylor Race. They are good and turn around work very quickly. I would use no one else for this work.

Hey UKChris, I do not know anyone in your area but, i am travelling to Waltham, MA almost weekly. I would be happy to do a walk around the car with you and point out problem spots and inspection items. I am in the final stages of a complete rebuild and have a lot of "lessons learned" i can share with you. PM me if interested and we'll set something up!

Researching ECU options for my R400 to upgrade from the unlockable Caterham one. I have looked at Emerald and SBD but am sure there are 100's of other options. Anyone have experience/advice they would like to share and make a recommendation? I just up-tuned the motor with headwork, roller barrels and dry sump and am prepping for a dyno trip. Nothing done to the lower end BTW.

I had them research and put some special stretchy stuff in both the paint and what little bit of filler they used knowing how much I have seen things move around while driving.

I noticed I would be doing a rebuild log but have not got to it yet. I am compiling links and parts-sourcing data and will eventually get around to sharing it. In the meantime, if you have Facebook, check out the paint job done a couple of months ago! https://www.facebook.com/WickedRydz/videos/394711014731274/

Only an opinion but here is what I did / am doing. The price for "Caterham" LED headlights was harsh so I looked at alternative's and found these on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Wisamic-5-3-5-75-LED-Headlight/dp/B01DZU30S0/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=led+headlights+5+3%2F4&qid=1565319813&s=gateway&sr=8-1 I have run them for over a year and there are a couple of other local Caterham runners Locally using them. They are at least twice as bright as stock and cut a wide-angle, rectangular pattern that is helpful. Plug-and-play for three-prong connections and the price is worth the experiment even if they may be OJ (oriental junk). Two spares in the boot just in case! I also invested in rears and front markers from Just Add Lightness in the UK. In the middle of mounting them on a total rebuild but I can share that lighting them with a battery and comparing them to stock Caterham is scary. Stoopid bright. and it is obvious they cater to Caterham owners. Even have LED plate light replacements and they include . ALL mounting hardware. https://www.justaddlightness.co.uk/why-change-to-led/
