the last car he had on offer was a totally disassembled project; ideal for someone half my age, but I want to drive the day after I get it LOL

yeah, just moved here a few months ago

Is this new engine from Horse due to a Sigma supply problem, or merely ongoing commercial evolution? thx

Hi all. Time I jumped back into ownership. Looking for a well-maintained lower spec Caterham that's priced accordingly, but ready to use (normal maintenance notwithstanding). No projects nor anything that's been off the road for a decade please. My last 3 were as above; I'm perfectly willing to have only 70% as much fun, but at 30% of the price, that I'm seeing some cars selling for . (logistically, preference given to cars in the south-east, but will consider all input). Many thx.

I thought the BaT buyer premium was 5% to a max of $5000. Has it gone up, or was I misinformed?

Is 40-45psi fuel pressure correct for this engine? While our nearly-stock 2 litre race motor is a Zetec, not a Duratec, we run 60psi.

fun to see that nothing's changed in the 25 years since I built my kit LOL

+1 on this. If you don't know why a metallic electrical part melted, how do you know something worse won't happen next time? Is your fuel pump the real problem, demanding way too much current for some reason, and maybe something more serious happens next time?

that's a frikkin' Darwin Award candidate right there !!!!!!!!

too much power going into a diff with too much internal lightness ? :-) IMHO, driving any car in what would be called a civilized manner on the street doesn't require a LSD, more trouble than they're worth unless you're on track. (I'm gonna get flamed, I know)

In 2 years and only 11k miles? Did you drain it and see what came out? Did you even get any oil out, never mind any metallic bits? I notice the "no oil" sticker on the new unit, any chance your original was dry? (but hard to imagine a dry diff lasting 11k miles).

If you have the required dimensions, or better, an example of what you need, there are several guys in open wheel racing could duplicate the parts for you. Try Momentum Motorsports at CMP in south carolina.

2 of my 3 Caterhams only had one seat :-) Add lightness! LOL

" ... with integrated seat heaters. " LOL

If I couldn't do a particular task myself, I'd take the Caterham to a race shop that specializes in formula cars. They'll be much more sympathetic to the car than some "tire and lube" shop. edit: that's not a slight on KTR, I know nothing of them, I was speaking generically.
