Caterham Seven 485 Final Edition - Race Car Feel!

A TUNED Caterham 620R... WHY?!

This thread now has the small glory of being the most "viewed" thread in the Videos Category. Beating out the "office race" video thread from 2009.

Hard to tell but it's one of two options. 1) if it's a coating you'll need it refinished 2) if it's natural color from heat then whatever is on there can be polished off

Original fenders had a failure with previous owners. You can see the fixings in the fender Then 2019 NJMP. Again driver front. I believe Sikaflex failed (good picture, fond memories @wemtd) 2020 - NJMP here is my quote Emphasis mine In 2021 I had another failure, this time hardware failed My quote at the time ' The next two years (2022/2023) I wasn't on the track and now that I went this year another driver failure on completely different components. New wingstay and fenders. very peculiar. That makes my batting average 1.000 as I'm 4 out 4 for driver failures on track days in many different flavors for mounts and fenders.

Don't remember if I posted my last report Had a lot of Iron debris

Back from the track day Car did great overall. Only things that failed are aftermarket components. Westermann CSR aluminum wing stay failed on driver side and I was battling through bad throttle mapping in the ECU throughout with lean conditions causing misfires. I think there is some bad juju on the driver front wheel. Original owner had his bolted fender fly off on driver side, I had first round of Sika flex fail when I glued fenders first time, then I had rivcerts fail out of the stay on the track day same day, next track day I had driver fender issues and now this year with a new stay and new fender failures again. Could be that side is generating more heat due to bad bearings or dragging calipers or something. Maybe I'll just go open wheel next time entirely? Time to send my oil for analysis to Blackstone to check whats going on with engine and do an oil change. It's been in there about 2 years. Very surprised that people don't know about this. @NSXguy @Croc Blackstone https://www.blackstone.com/ slight bend... Had to cut off Sikaflex in the back. Held on strong! All the tools brought came to use (of course couldn't find my ball joint breaker tool specific for Caterham before I left ) Bent that far, no easy way to remount Hella flush!

Not sure how I missed this thread I think I might be locked out of using it after I surrender my registration but we shall see.

I have that 12v attachment metal part and for the life of me cannot figure out how to make it attach. Maybe early years dash setup was slightly different of the fuse box has different shape?

Try to counter that added weight by removing some fenders.. Seems to work for me every year

Out of curiosity did anybody keep track of how many they added while on track over the two days?

Croc deserves a lifetime achievement award from Caterham for being the biggest unofficial ambassador for the brand on this side of the pond. Over the years his work and engagement has probably put more butts into the cars than any single dealer, especially considering that his work has lead to many dealer sales.

That's quite a nifty piece of software!

Some photos from my end

Just got here. Don't want to wake everybody up. Will get it into garage tomorrow morning when @SmallerThanVov wakes up the family at 6am on the regular.

Won't be in for dinner today. We won't be in town until likely 10pm

I want to see official rules

I can bring it these to NJMP if anybody wants to buy in person

Might do the oil. I think what's in there is two years old at this point. Maybe 800 miles.
