    Mine (420-spec with roller barrels) also hesitates/stumbles if I give the throttle too big a stab off idle. It always has. But as you note, once under way, it’s not an issue. Really just a nuisance in local stop and go driving, it a non-issue at the track. Not sure if that’s the hesitation you’re speaking of.

    I had a misfire at the track that turned out to be a slightly loose battery cable. Forgive me if you’ve already checked this, but it might be worth a quick look.

    I’ve always wondered why Caterham doesn’t use bracing down there that’s bolt-in instead of integral. It would make drivetrain install/removal much easier.

    That’s what worked for me.

    Tracsport installed their LSD two or three yrs ago, if memory serves me.

    The Tracsport is quite well known for performance and durability in these circles. I haven’t heard of any complaints from anyone using one. My 2017 Caterham with LSD ought to have had the updated Titan design (I think), but still crapped out, so I opted to swap to the Tracsport. Maybe folks in the peanut gallery will chime in here?

    For reference, my 2017 Seven 420 (nee 360) had a Titan BMW LSD fail. Tracsport in the UK provided (and installed) their LSD into a new BMW diff that they bought directly from Caterham UK. Then they shipped it here and I installed the “pumpkin” as a whole, rather than having the LSD shipped here and having a transmission shop install it into the carrier Stateside. It was a fine solution for me.

    Seb, this is great news. You’ve gone mental, which seems to be the natural progression of well driven Se7ens drivers;)

    Fantastic news! Fingers crossed and many thanks for scheduling!!!

    Oh sh*t! Meant to write “her,” not “Uber,” but your idea is excellent. I imagine she’ll be thrilled to hear it.
  12. BlakeJ
    Yes, Paula is planning to attend, but I’ll likely wait until last minute to sign Uber up as a non driver.

    Simplify and add lightness, please.

    Check the Factory Five forums (maybe archived material) for those numbers. In 2017/18, they were there, if memory serves.

    Mine was built from new, so in NYS, the custom home built vehicle was what was recommended to me and worked out fine. Really not too much fuss. That said, if the vehicle has a title, registration, etc from another state, I’d be inclined to try registering it as a “regular” car, though Vlad’s point about OBDII could pose problems. I’m not familiar with those issues because the custom home builts are exempt.

    Fantastic!

    I am in Westchester County. SV with lowered floors. Plenty of room in the pedal box, so no need for skinny racing boots. You’re welcome to come by to try the fit.

    I won’t be there. Sorry.

    As of this writing, the weather forecast predicts that Mother Nature intends to rain on our parade this Saturday.

    In light of the unfortunate cancellation of our annual Se7ens event, I am aiming to run with the SCDA at Lime Rock, weather permitting, next Saturday, Oct 21, 1pm to 5pm. Would enjoy seeing and driving with some other Se7ens, for those of you close enough and so inclined. It’s no substitute for the annual event, but it’s a beautiful track and lots of fun.
  22. BlakeJ
    So happy for you, Vlad. Look forward to seeing you next weekend.

    Definitely not a Se7en, but if you want a motorcycle engined, purpose built race car, I witnessed one of these running well at Thompson Speedway in CT this weekend: https://rushautoworks.com/car_post/rush-sr/

    I, too, have enjoyed the 333’s. Beat my personal best at Lime Rock by slightly over a second on them, which is a good margin once you’re down in sub-minute times at that track.

    If anyone wants/needs a set of brand new, unused, never mounted Avon ZZR A64 compounds, I can bring them to the annual Se7ens event. Fronts are 185/55/13, rears are 215/55/13.
