  1. These are available, I am open to offers!
  2. I really hope so!
  3. I think it went automatically to the reserve price and they will try to cut a deal with the high bidder who seemed to be around $4k. Not sure!
  4. Yes, the supercharger tubing is not subtle and would not work with a LHD steering rack. You'd have to use those forged internals to make it into a turbo and keep it exhaust side
  5. Thank you! It is tragic, but I am still here.
  6. The engine, exhaust, supercharger, cooling, race brake cylinder, dry sump system, fire suppression system, are all intact. Roll cage probably slightly askew but is bendable. Transmission maybe ok not sure, LSD maybe ok not sure. Some underneath hard oil connections need new lines.
  7. Considering it doesn't say Caterham anywhere on the ad, I have a feeling it will not hit their reserve whatever it is at.
  8. https://www.copart.com/lot/57474516/salvage-2025-other-automobile-other-wa-north-seattle FYI noticed that my old car is up for auction by copart. Insurance paid it out so I have no part or stake in this. Hope it can find a nice home
  9. Never installed brand new custom projects build from MCS earlier this year. Binned the car so never got to install these. They are 3-way remote reservoir with dry breaks. I worked with Wyatt at MCS to create this set. The goal was maximize shock travel for the smoothest ride possible. I have engineering drawings for each part, which I can send. We went through several iterations to ensure fitment. I shipped over the stock sport Bilsteins from my 620S SV, and they shipped back a few iterations for me to test. We came up with the following, where the front is upright and rear are inverted. The full range of motion was tested, so at least on my otherwise stock 620S SV without Watts linkage, it fits with lots of room. If you give me a photo of your setup with a watts, we can compare to see if that is a problem or not. I don't think it would be since it is well inboard. Current springs are 250 lb ft front 150 lb ft rear, Eibach. The remote reservoirs are lengthed so that the rears may fit the rear roll bar and front will reach the foot well for on-the-fly high speed and low speed compression adjustment. 900 mm + 900 mm front, 350 mm + 250 mm rear. The silver spring caps in the image below each have a slot in them, so you can swap springs without undoing the top stock nut as they slip past the shock piston when the springs are un-preloaded. Super convenient. You can get all 4 coilovers out in about 5-10 minutes once you know the procedure. See my thread here on USA7s to see the history - pictures there are of a test setup and not the final iteration which fits with much more clearance. https://usa7s.net/ips/topic/15460-620-s-build/page/9/ Happy to answer questions! They were over $6k, but am happy to find the right price for somebody. Buying an off the shelf remote 3-way is over $7k. Asking price $5500 + free usa continental shipping. Cheers! ^this was as I opened them, so they will be packaged similarly, but the MCS special tape is cut and re-taped now. One of the fronts on top, one of the rears on bottom: Super nice hardware the clicks are solid as a rock: ___________________________________ Here are some fitment photos of a test setup, not the actual set: The shock strut tube hides a little under the silver spring cup, the travel is huge. Rear at the bottom: Rear at the top: Front at the bottom: Front at the top:
  10. I'll never know for sure, but I had been playing so much with the suspension I think I left something loose, the car snap oversteered faster than I could ever imagine and I couldn't catch it. Either way it's entirely my fault, not the concrete wall's fault. Wasn't even speeding! Frame is bent, cracked front and rear, all cross beams have a bend in them. Drivetrain, cooling, supercharger, interior is perfect other than the LSD probably. Bruce quoted a new frame. Hagerty Fixed Price has me covered, thank goodness! I've spent so long on this car I can't fathom putting it back together again and then crashing 600 more miles down the road. If I lived by the caterham factory, that would be a different story.
  11. I am! Took about 2 months to recover the bruised ribs but made it out. The Schroth belts were ace and I didn't hit my head on the roll cage, thank you lowered floors.
  12. Welp, this is sadly the end of my Caterham road, 650 miles in. If anyone wants to buy my brand new with box, never installed MCS custom 3-ways with long enough reservoir dry breaks to reach the cabin interior, let me know! I have schematics, details, and contacts at MCS who invested a lot of time to get it right. I am most bummed about not being able to try those out. Will post all the aftermarket things on marketplace in the near future. Watch copart for a great deal. Back to my Miata
  13. MCS has arrived! They're beautiful. The knobs are so high quality I feel like I should stretch before twisting them lol. Unfortunately, the car had an off so I cannot install them until that is sorted out. More on that later 😭 Here's a front and a rear
  14. Drove the car around more with the new camber. It's a bigger difference than I initially realized, there is way way more front end grip! Steering is heavier since there's more contact patch I presume, but the grip is huge.
  15. Oh wow thank you! I'm glad I asked, I didn't realize that was sticking out in the engine bay right there, was already installed in my roller so haven't futzed with it yet.
