Joy riding in Croc’s 7...

This is a Caterham Zetec side pipe I installed a few years ago on the S1. I’m out in the garage figuring out the source of the O2 sensor.. The header pipes came from Skips SV. The muffler came from a Canadian Dealer. I fabricated the collector and welded in the O2 bung. Most importantly I made a slip joint . This muffler was off a new R300 I was told.. I paid 225 for it .

This is for a Type 9.I bought 2 from a speedo shop in the States. But I’m not sure if there the same as yours. Can’t find the address yet. If you want this one , no problem.

Bought new from the Dealer in 2003. I haven’t look recently, but it’s pushing 20k now. I’ve done some track days and some long hauls over the years. I have a bad lower back so that slows the driving back a little bit. Not the fastest, but it’s always been reliable. Installed a picture just for fun.

Working on my side, Thanks for the help Croc. Thanks for your hard work John.

Something to consider..

I installed a header and muffler from a Caterham SV. I made the transition piece from the collector to the muffler and welded in a bung for the o2 . My original muffler became to loud over the years and this setup works well.enjoy

Hi John, I just spent some time on the phone with Croc about the upgrade and other things. Happy report the Forum is work well for me. Thanks for the good work..

Congrats , really what I wanted in a 7 18 years ago when I went on my hunt. One big problem with those early cars. Me.. enjoy the ride....

I’ve had a ride in this car “pre” Texas event, and it was one of the finest engineered 7 I’ve seen. I’m sure now it’s even better.It’s a beast on track, been passed by it many times..LOL... Good Luck Shane.

Thanks for the info, let us your thoughts on their performance when you put them to the track. My 888s are holding up great, a few track days and lots of street use. I’m good on tires for years now, I was given a almost new set of P-Zero N 3s . Im looking for new wheels to mount them on. Good Luck

Nice, what’s the wear rating on the side of the tire say...

Clark, Maybe a call to Tom Carlin, Birkin Dealer-Importer in Colorado can give advice.I’m assuming you have a Type9 transmission bolted up to a custom bellhousing made by or for Birkin . This may have something to do with getting a proper replacement. Tom’s coming to our track weekend at NJMP , I’d be happy to ask him for you and get that info back to you. He may have started his long tow east to New Jersey...

That was fun to watch, Congratulations....

Skip, those yellow devices are inside diameter lineup clamps. I used them on the pipeline many times. Really cool piece of equipment..
