How to fit an aeroscreen for quick and easy swaps

What size everybody using for 225 or 245? Toyos never had a good fit with anything other than like a 45 side wall which is quite different from the front

Not sure what's the size of your chassis but SVs can usually fit a roots type and Rotrex is always an option. I'll try to get Rotrex wedged In on my Zetec likely next winter

Without intercooler the gains won't be crazy and with it. The piping will be quite cumbersome. With that said I support FI but supercharger is my preference.

That one is under SL (on the website at least) 123 SLR is orange RHD (again on the registry)

Very interesting. Thanks Maybe somebody smarter than me (dealer?) can clarify. Maybe SL's were different. I might try to find my models book when I get home and see what they dictate for these models. I was under impression they had to have the Rover motor as part of the deal and part of the classification as the motor is a crucial part of the horsepower output and the weight factor.

While this pertains to SLR's not SL I went by the information given to me by Martin Phipps, the Caterham Archivist I will stand corrected however having taking a look at the correspondence again, they did not have to be factory built but no SLR's were numerated in the states even though they were officially sold and shipped as such. The SLR's I've seen here just have a plaque on the dash that is non numerated. According to this website that is a registrar of SL's and SLR's among others the engine had to be a rover in SL http://www.thecaterhamregister.net/superlights.htm What was the number on your plaque?

I'll tell you one thing, hardships make for great stories. Certainly keeps me on my toes every trip and I'm well prepared for breakdowns! Lol

In the states any unique attribute your 7 might have will help the sale by being a story and part of ethos/lore of the specific car that the an owner gets to enjoy and tell strangers, with that said it won't really help resale much as any authenticity of anything isn't valued on this side of the pond. Also any car that wasn't directly imported as assembled isn't really authenticated as anything by Caterham themselves as they are sold as "kits" to here and owners/dealers assemble them as "replicas" even if they are built identical. A lot of specialty monikers that Caterham designates were factory assembled, ergo any car built here will never carry that title. Caterham doesn't look to give any special cars for people to assemble if they put their name behind it. I don't believe R500's were ever sold as kits for example. I say that in particular because of "Superlight R"s like I have that are stateside. People could order "SLR" packages and get them built as "SLR"s but the engine is different (Zetec was used in the states and Rover was used in UK, which we couldn't get) and the cars weren't factory assembled so they never got an official numeration plaque. With that said some did get a non numerated plaque and all the stickers and other options are present to make a car an "SLR" (replica). The cars are already peak uniqueness in the states (less than 50 sold a year and about 500-1000 total here) so anything else that could make the specific model unique gets lost in the weeds of it looking like a spaceship to begin with compared to anything else on the road.

McDonalds in a Caterham? I Wish I Knew This Before Buying A Caterham 7 How To Keep Warm In An Open Top Car In Winter Caterham 7

Took my car off the road and had to report the miles to the insurance. My my surprise it was a low 3 digit number. Granted between events in family, no track day and reversing the polarity on battery this was to be expected but it was unusual to see only 200 or so miles.

Got another key blank from a local key smith and also cut it to fit into the housing All British key blanks are steel and nobody cuts them in the states (almost) The steel template is next to the housing

After all my breakdowns decided to get myself a set of rechargeable LED road flare lights. Thought they were gimmicky compared to flares but when I thought about it, they give a lot of utility for what they are and aren't one time use As another safety item got myself an Element 50 extinguisher to add to the one I keep in the back. This one fits nicely in the cabin and is very light
