I have this windshield that came with the car years ago. I know no history on it, definitely looks like a DIY, definitely works as an alternative to a real windshield. I have my windshield and aero screen and this thing has been laying around for years. I will never use it but seems like it could be of use to somebody and maybe save them some time. Don't want to throw it out. You can have it for free, just cover shipping to wherever it may be. The mounting triangles aren't included nor are the mirrors, so just the windshield. This is for an S3 It's smaller than a full windshield but taller than an aeroscreen. Old picture of it when it came with the car Back Front

J'AI ACHETÉ UNE CATERHAM 170S NEUVE

Ellie Costello talks to David Ridley at the British Motor Show about the future of the Caterham

I believe this is the only sensor pigtail that doesn't go to anything the build was always a Zetec "200hp" ITB package so the wiring harness is made to read TPS and intake air temp. I don't believe I have any wiring left for the knock sensor and the car was always build with a TPS and vacuum rail for whatever reason. I came across that pigtail by the ECU and I'm pretty sure it's been there throughout my ownership and not just a byproduct of some recent disconnect. That's a big reason as to why I'm curious as to what it could be.

Here is my Intake and one of my temp sensors. I also think this is my knock sensor but I don't believe it communicates with the Pectel ECU as I don't have a pigtail for it

To confirm your findings a lot of community refers to them as KN wheels. Little or no information of support is available To the best of my knowledge the 15in wheels that use a similar looking center cap actually have a different cap size, but I'm unable to confirm from anybody first hand

This sounded very plausible! So much so that I was almost disappointed to discover that my intake air temp sensor had its wire properly connected to it. I was thinking that maybe tuner forgot to connect it back and that would explain some of the pending issues Quick google search brings up this type of Bosch liquid sensor with a connector that seems to match the pigtail, this is likely what you had in mind?

Still working on addressing pending issues. In meantime came across this. Can anybody explain to me what this plug is for?? Anybody with a Zetec or Pectel recognize it?

I'll just keep telling myself that I dont really need it

Does it do it only when hot or when cold too?

I'll be corrected if im wrong but im fairly certain spectators are free, just will all need to sign a waiver upon entry and you don't get any of the lunch accomodations. Familys are welcome but will likely need ear protection from the cars and sailor mouthed drivers.

V6? Yeah that explains the too much power!

Finished photos of the first drive for starters. Big day! Also what the power plant is, estimated power, etc.

Pis? info on the build? I looked through your posts and didn't see much background on this build

Pending issues outside of my control I plan to be there every year for as long as the event is on!

Very peculiar. Thanks for sharing. Not sure what number you'd be (the production number is blurred out on your VIN) mine is 22117, but you might be the only one with a rear exhaust and leather bench seat. Some US SLR's had their 7th letter of the vin be an S for "SLR" but truly it doesn't matter as it was more of an honorary markup title as an SLR could be optioned out to be a non SLR essentially and a non SLR could have most of the SLR options added on. Due to the kit nature of the car the specialty of that title came from certain intangible things that were available in the UK like a factory assembly and a numbered plaque that were not offered in the states. (I believe some SLR's do have a non numerated plaque in the US) Biggest tell tales of the trim were carbon nose/fenders (front and rear), carbon dash, SLR stickers, wide track suspension, killswitch, limited slip diff, and SLR wheels as well as a potent power train and I believe typically a lack of heater and spare tire in order to achieve the "super light" status to bear the name that the package bears. With that said my chassis just like many came with spare tire holder that was deleted, a heater, washer fluid etc all of which counter the intent. Looking through the official data base of tracked numerated models they had all sorts of variations even in official trim https://www.thecaterhamregister.net/superlight Rs.htm Some had leather seats, some had chrome headlamps/windshield/, some had different wheels, some had heaters, etc They all should have had the same engine however. Special features: Carbon fibre wings, nose, dash and mirrors, Perspex wind deflector, GRP seats Engine: Rover VHPD (Very High Performance derivative) 1800 K-Series Maximum power: 190bhp @ 7500rpm Max torque: 150lb ft @ 5750rpm Gearbox: Caterham 6 speed c/w limited slip differential Brakes: 10" ventilated front with four-pot callipers, 9" solid rear Weight: 490kg First Chassis no. 20538 (car no.1 chassis no.20873)

Thanks for the pictures. Looks like a regular Zetec with a regular manifold, which makes it unusual as typically SLR models got a "200hp" ITB package and other work. You have VCT which is variable cam timing which is the 5th plug in front of spark plugs. If you take the nose cone off and take a look at your plastic cam gear cover you will likely see a "bump out" in the plastic to accommodate the exhaust gear having variable timing. It's not performance beneficial but mostly an emissions thing and this is often defeated/deleted. You will occasionally see people talking about an SVT Zetec engine, which is pretty much entirely different family of a Zetec. Also a 2L but almost nothing crosses over. Different head entirely and different block. This is the high HP motor that made about 170HP crank. Regular stock bones Ford Zetecs if I recall made about 135hp crank. Zetecs were used in Ford Focus, Ford Contour, Ford Escort, Mercury Cougar. No Focus ever came with VCT. This is likely a Contour engine to start. It matters as a few things were different between them such as flywheel size etc.

Hm that complicates things. I believe the original is a flat face with 3 holes in it, hence my needle nose suggestion. Not sure where this one is sourced from. Drilling it in center and reversing it out with an extractor would be my solution.

No suggestion for the specific key. I would just just try to jam a pair of needle nose in there and turn it. You should have a Zetec with ITB's most likely. Take a few pictures and we can tell you some information on whether its an SVT or regular Zetec etc. Good call on tire swap. PS if you for some reason want to sell those center caps.. you have a buyer.

Oh my. You've hit the holy grail by having a center cap on those wheels still Immediate word of caution. Those tires are not safe at all. Get replacements asap. It's a light car with a lot of pep and needs all the help it can get to stick to the road. Those are ice pucks by now. I've been through the same situation as you and luckily didn't get in too much trouble. Also SLR in US is a bit of a misnomer. They are technically ordered as SLR's but they aren't truly counted as them by the official registry because they aren't assembled in the factory and have a lot more options than a true SLR would have (also the engine was never available in states). For example the spare wheel is pretty much a non option on the designated UK models but we had them sold here with them. The wheels are a true SLR gem in my opinion.

To any NY interested buyer, this is worth a lot... Wonder if I can switch my title to that...

Relevant question, does the "custom" title make it OBD2 inspection exempt for NYS?
