  1. Unfortunately the outcome for passengers was not positive https://www.br.de/nachrichten/bayern/toedlicher-unfall-mit-englischem-sportwagen-bei-uffing,S4Whtux Translated https://rt5aydsaz2m52md7arjp5y3ntu-ac5fdsxevxq4s5y-www-br-de.translate.goog/nachrichten/bayern/toedlicher-unfall-mit-englischem-sportwagen-bei-uffing,S4Whtux I'm still fairly certain the 7 is safer than a motorcycle but between my vehicles of a CRX/Miata and the 7, I do feel a lot more comfortable safety wise in the Volvo vs the tin boxes around all the trucks and SUV's.
  2. Beautiful car. Surprised to hear Sb100 gave you a denial like that. This might have been recent? I've heard of other owners having luck I'd recommend using the californiacaterhamclub forum to get ideas and suggestions. Forum isn't active but proper search will probably reveal a lot of good info on topic. Worst case scenario you might have to go the Montana route at least to get car on the road while figuring things out. It's not ideal, or recommended but it might be a necessary means to an end while fighting bureaucracy. This link should set you up with a pretty good sweep of their website for keyword of SB100. Again if something has changed within CA DMV these methods may no longer be relevant. https://www.google.com/search?q=california+caterham+club+sb100+site:www.californiacaterhamclub.com&rlz=1C1CHBD_enUS883US883&sxsrf=ALeKk0035Ojlwcv6OJQYTOshYltSw3cizw:1620673658565&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjxjtzt57_wAhXQElkFHX2ADwgQrQIoA3oECAUQBA&biw=1691&bih=786
  3. I'm assuming this is a square wheel setup and not a staggered?
  4. According to the info you gave, partitioning leads this to be a wiring issue or a sender issue. You have eliminated gauge as an issue. Have you tried using something like a power probe or similar to send power from the sender pigtail back to the sensor and see if that works consistently or interim? The observation that it works while wiggling is implying it's a mechanical break in connection in one of the components affected the movement. Alternatively, I'm not sure what engine you have but my block temp sensor isn't used. I utilize the one that sits in the thermostat housing.
  5. Rebuilt ITBs are finally back Pretty much entirely rebuilt except face plate, venturi stacks and my IAC rail. New double springs throttle return, new FPR and all new components and actual manifold. Will hopefully tidy everything up next week and get to test it.
  6. I honestly don't think Caterham especially under new Japanese ownership would undertake building Elises. (Elisi?) Especially with the doom and gloom and challenges of IC motors phased out. Caterham to my recollection still makes very few of its actual components and is more a lifestyle brand and assembly factory. Elise would be a whole different ballgame and level of overhead. With that said it proved to be a successful model to keep making a popular item even after creator or corporate overlords have decided to move on. Somebody might accept that challenge. Another bonus for the Elise platform and future is that it proved competent and successful in EV variant when Tesla build the first Roadster and that was a lifetime ago in EV world.

  8. Depending on your budget there will be a great one listed from FL on BaT later this month.

  11. Interesting. TWM (Borla) lists only one set on their website for ITB's. My build also uses a Pectel. I do not have Unisyn but I have the other meter. Not sure on accuracy or application differences but it gives me a ballpark when I was testing things https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CMC57R0/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_46RPF4HEHTBZR2V97TXZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 I'm not going to fix at at this moment while it's not broken but thanks for the feedback. I wasn't sure how some people ran without these vacuum ports being drilled or with them sealed. Your setup helped answer that question. Seems like your setup is better due to having less parts involved. I'm not sure if my model even has an option to keep each butterfly partially open at idle but there might have been an adjustment screw on the back of one that controlled all at the same time. Have you ever dyno'ed your setup? The parts list that I got for "$100 rebuild" so far has ran about 10x that and I'm getting practically a brand new unit in return (actually had to get a new body among along with everything in it), but I'm expecting the car to behave quite different and hopefully for the better once the unit is back. In a less than ideal world, it won't run right after the return and I'll have a lot more troubleshooting and tuning to do with the rebuilt setup.
