    I don't IG. Is there another way to see this?

    I hope you don't cut the OE mount. Whatever you weld, it will break.

    Check local auto parts for 70-73 Ford Pinto 1600. You can still get a water pump. Maybe the alternator as well. Same for 2.0 ?

    Caterham has goals of 1k cars a month. An engine supplier would have to be able to fill that order. Horse can. Westfield is wise to stay small and fit an engine that will be attractive to motoring enthusiasts, not one that meets fulfillment deadlines. Function over form when the engineers take over.

    They could have had an NA engine that fits. But not for Cats production number and cost goals

    Not for sale, just a very nice restoration to see. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BJc2KebLY/

    It's a playful art collage of Horse and Catethem themes

    Looking at pictures of, what I assume is the Caterham press release Horse powered 7. The only thing I can say is that it's a very busy engine bay. I like seeing a pretty set of cam or rocker covers. I don't see that from Horse. I'm sure the engine runs. It's not going to look purdy doing it. Of course I have a gripe.

    For 7s and fish & chips or a pub circuit. Or tea & biscuits. Plenty of Asian Fandom too. 99 @ I-10 Katy Frwy. "West Side Mall" big Asian mall. Get Boba tea & bubble waffle fish & ice cream.

    So, this is a Caterham manufactured chassis? I'm still living in the 90s
  13. IamScotticus
    This wasn't answered.. Generally, Arch manufactured frames for Caterham have Arch specific frame stamps. The VIN is applied by Caterham. My 96 Chassis is Arch made with the Arch production stamp near the RR roll hoop bar mount. The VIN is stamped on the pedal box frame. I don't know what later Cats have. I don't know who made your chassis. I thought Cat got away from Arch. I think Arch remains in a Spares and repairs role.

    Stupid thing I did before I knew better...I coated my studs with WD40. Just thought it was a good idea. I since learned it wasn't a good Idea. Studs stay dry. Clean them up with a wire brush if they get ugly, but no added preservatives. Clean and dry. Luckily I didn't have to learn this the hard way.

    If you have to park in a space with other cars to the sides, park in the middle of the space and put collapsible cones at the entrance. Always remember, you are invisible! A parking spot you occupy looks empty and someone will roll into that space giving you new body accents.

    On the ground, Front camber can preload the lower nuts by 10 lbs ft. At least rotate the wheels 180° to even out the torque. Or tighten nutz off the ground. I use a wedge under the fronts. Parking brake holds the rears. Gorilla splined anti theft nuts in use.

    I have permission from the admin to advertise the 818 on the F5 forum and sent Dean a text. No response on that. They love that one and probably aren't ready to let it go yet.

    I hope to build a Crossflow and a VW 1600. If I could build them for $5k, I'll have a nice side hustle. Problem is shipping costs of getting heavy parts and lots of smaller parts together in one place. Where I live, these parts are scarce. I would be better off on East or West coast.

    I wouldn't go lower. Maybe the miles on 30psi stressed the brackets?
  24. IamScotticus
    Are you running low tyre pressure around 15-20psi? If you are running standard pressures of 30-35 psi, you are not absorbing enough road.
