I am constantly amazed by the depth of knowledge and the willingness to share it on this forum.

Good idea John. This picture is the Caterham 15" Orcus wheels in Anthracite, the car is a 2020 Caterham 420R

I recently placed an order for new tires from the dealer who sold me my car. The price is about the same as Roger Kraus, my thought is I prefer to support the USA Caterham dealers as long as their price isn't significantly more expensive.

As Mike says, I’m close by in Ivins and I use Josh for servicing my 420R. I think there multiple good suggestions in the previous responses regarding possible changes. Once you get the car home, you’ll undoubtedly figure out the best path for your car. BTW, there’s another Caterham owner nearby Washington, I think he has a 420R and has been on this site in the past. PM me if I can do anything to help. Jim

Frank your profile indicates you live in SLC area, the closest Caterham dealer is Josh Robbins, in Denver area. Josh has a large inventory of parts for Caterhams.

How are our Florida members doing?

This is the product I have used for three of my Caterhams, because it is intended for long term wheel chair seat cushions, it is very comfortable with many choices for firmness. It is likely heavier than the bead seats Croc references. Additional caveat, I don't track my car so it may not be appropriate for 5/6 way harnesses; https://www.sunmatecushions.com/collections/sunmate-orthopedic-cushions/motorcycle-seat-foam

Attached are examples of squab type seat cushions. The yellow car is my former S3, with no back cushion, the green ones are my current SV (with lowered floors), using the leather seat back

This is the UK configurator, it does NOT reflect USA prices, but it shows most of the options and get the price in the ball park. https://www.caterhamcars.com/en/configurator

As a further indication that it is tight quarters under that cover …. I noticed last week that the two bolts had vibrated loose from the cover. I removed the cover and noticed a gray dust like substance on the second coil form the top (in picture). It easily rubbed off and did not appear on any of the other coils. I texted Josh Robbins, he quickly looked at his own new car and established the gray material was from the label on the inside of the cover. In the second picture of my cover you can even see the impression from the screw. Not much clearance there.

Hi, Two more question:" 1) Does the "Current replacement cost is over $64,000" include current shipping costs from the UK? 2) Does that price also include the cost to have Kuter Racing assemble the kit? Thanks

I haven't driven the sadev myself, but people I trust say it really only makes sense if you're a track rat. If you use the car only on the street, as I do, "they" say the standard transmission makes more sense.

I've saw this car several times while it was under construction. It really is a cost no object vision of one person's dream 7.

Last Summer I drove the portion from Mountain Dell Reservoir to Henefer and back. It's a great road except the pavement in Salt Lake County is pretty rough, it got better once you cross over into the adjacent county. Although it's probably not a problem in the C8, especially if you ordered the mag ride suspension.

That is my car! My wife and I are spending July and August in PC, to get out of the heat of So UT and also so I can drive the 7 over all the fun mountain passes. In fact I just got back from the route shown below: Many people think of UT highways like the Interstate 80 and 15, but the Alpine passes are fantastic for driving; many are closed in the Winter so the tarmac doesn't get destroyed by frequent plowing.

I have a 2020 420R, it just rolled over 4kmiles on the odometer. When Josh Robbins built my car he added truck bed liner on the underside of the painted fiberglass wings, he also added PPF to the top of the wings (and other areas). The CF stone guards remain on a shelf in my garage. I had unpainted CF wings on previous Caterhams and was dissatisfied at how quickly the CF was damaged by exposure to UV. So far no indication of spider cracks. My car is used only on the road.

This JAL umbrella was a prototype product Doug Taylor of JAL was considering. He has not yet offered it for sale. Jim

When I used State Farm, they carries the Caterham policy themselves

Vlad, Have you tried the SC-1? Jim

May be familiar to some, but I have never seen this before" https://silodrome.com/caterham-csr-gt/

John, I agree, it’s a great sound, but speeds seems quite irresponsible given narrowness and mix of cars and bicycles

I would do my best to avoid any solution that requires paint blending. I know from experience that it can be difficult to match CC paint jobs. My car is Hyper Green and it has proven impossible to accurately match here.

Beautiful! Your pictures always make me miss living in Japan
