  1. On my car the pump assembly is in-tank and goes into the side of the tank so the tank has to come out for service/replacement. I'm not sure about your year car but the assembly for mine came out of some Rover. Perhaps if your tank is an original Caterham tank you could send a pic to Caterham and ask if they carry the assembly or have a cross reference that would work for yours. Scott
  2. I have a ‘99 Caterham with the 1.8 K-series VVC and the original tank and in-tank fuel pump. Later this year I’m swapping to a Esslinger stroked 2.3 Duratec and would like to upgrade the pump now while the K-series is still in the car. Has anyone upgraded the pump in the original K-series carrier? I’ve seen the Walbro GSS242 mentioned. I’m also looking at a DW200 255 LPH, since it’s readily available in the US. What pump did you use, and how did you modify the original carrier? Scott
  3. All good. I either wear earplugs or noise canceling earbuds, and both of those help. Scott
  4. Good idea. I bet that helps a lot! Scott
  5. Thanks! I have a leather aviator hat and goggles. Frankly it looks over the top and probably makes me look more eccentric than I actually am... but it does the job. I do not like driving with the windshield without the doors as the turbulence in the cockpit annoys me. Scott
  6. Good eye! We were in London in mid-June and while my wife did other things I went to the Tate Modern. I bought those socks in the museum shop on my way out.
  7. I suspect there is variation in the MK aeroscreen since they mention that in their listing. I first found the center and mounted their carbon fiber center brace to the aeroscreen with rivets, and then worked out where the screen needed to be drilled at the ends. Then I went back and drilled the center brace for mounting to the car. I had to use some rubber u-channel on the bottom of it as they suggested and was not happy with the gaps, so I also added additional weatherstripping across the length of it to reduce the gaps between the aeroscreen and the scuttle.
  8. There's just no good place to put the bonnet when someone asks to see the engine.
  9. Thanks. I couldn't bring myself to spend on the Caterham one. This one is from MK sportscars. https://www.mksportscars.com/products/caterham-style-series-3-s3-aero-screen-carbon and I bought the SPA F1 mirrors from Pegasus racing. My previous aeroscreen offered more wind protection for the driver. Scott
  10. I Installed a carbon fiber aeroscreen this past week and SPA F1 mirrors. Went to an 90's and 90's car show on a whim and took home the coveted raddest graphics award. Lol
  11. My guess is a bad ground. Run a jumper from the negative pole of your battery to the negative lead of your front turn signals and see what happens. Scott
  12. I need one, it doesn't need to be new, just working. Scott
  13. All of my research indicated that as long as you keep the oil level properly high something like the Raceline wetsump is more than adequate for occasional track days and autocross. That said, for the engine I'm putting together for my car I went for the raceline dry sump. Scott
