Thanks so much for the reply! I originally thought around 1000 rpm would be about correct. Having owned Porsche cars and other vintage cars (Tigers, I have two) I am a believer in the good old Dino Valvoline VR1 oil as well. Being new to the Sevens I really appreciate all the great suggestions and posts from this group! I have learned a bunch. I am certain to be needing future advice. Ya'll are fantastic and I enjoy the forum!

I am a proud new owner of a 1996 1700 Supersprint. The idle seems low hence a possible low oil pressure reading at idle. What is the correct idle rpm setting? The engine is a 1700 Supersprint with 11k on the odo and runs real good. The idle seems to be set at around 750 and the oil pressure gauge will drop sometimes into the red at low idle. When driving the pressure is good. I know about the sketchy accuracy of the sending units and gauges but the idle seems too low to me. Also, with a wet sump what is the recommended oil filter and oil grade? Thanks, Bill

I am getting a classic Caterham Supersprint. The seats are fixed, my legs are short (I am 5' 6 1/2") How do I adjust the pedals. My feet don't reach. Arm length seems fine. My feet are wide but I will wear driving shoes. Sure would like suggestions. Thanks, Bill wcfemail@yahoo.com if needed
