2021 Midwest Gathering for all Se7ens and similar cars
Croc replied to locost7018's topic in Great Lakes
I definitely would like to check out the Ozarks International Raceway. They finished paving the other week. Looks like a fantastic facility coming together. First track video was available just recently. Ozarks International Raceway is set to bring motorsports to Missouri | Hagerty Media https://fb.watch/3ThlN04p7h/ I appreciate your enthusiasm for having me attend but sadly I will not make this event as I am hoping to have a second crack at driving cross country. I will be about 5 days too late for this event based on current plans. First attempt all went wrong in a logging town on Christmas Day with a mixture of heavy snow and dodgy electrics. Its not comparable to the mega-trip Ross Robbins is planning in his Lotus Elan but I have wanted to do something like this for a while. -

Spa oil/water temp gauges plug and play?
Croc replied to KnifeySpoony's topic in General Sevens Discussion
Thats a bit of luck if the Duratec is already tapped for a sender. Its all electric and Caterham used pretty generic sensors so there is a fighting chance of it all working. The Spa kits come with all the needed sensors so worst case you swap out the Caterham oil temp sensor for the included Spa one. sf4018 makes a good point of wiring the oil temp direct to gauge - that was how I did it on my old zetec car. The Caterham water temp gauge uses a small plastic connector to wire off the main loom - seen below. The Spa version of the connector is larger because it is dual signal (oil temp and water temp). In that case you will have to remove the signal wires that connect to the plug pins from the Caterham water temp gauge connector and move them to the new Spa connector (shown as the white plug in the above photo) so it will plug in. The Spa instructions will hopefully have pin location maps for this. -
Spa oil/water temp gauges plug and play?
Croc replied to KnifeySpoony's topic in General Sevens Discussion
I think you want to monitor oil temp and not oil pressure? Your standard kit includes oil pressure gauge but not an oil temp gauge. Yes you can do that. Fairly straightforward as I used a dual Racetech analog gauge on my old yellow Caterham SV to monitor oil pressure and oil temp. Hardest bit was working out where to tap the block for an oil temp sensor. -
No Yes Rule of thumb for me with Caterham track usage is rear pads get double the life of the fronts. Anker likely picked it - your brake bias is off, OR you have different brake pad compound on the front vs rear OR your rear brake is dragging on the caliper. Caterham brakes work pretty well out of the box with the standard master cylinder and even better with the upgraded "race" master cylinder. You normally do not need a proportioning valve unless you are really competitive so my bet is wrongly set up calipers or a master cylinder issue.

2021 Midwest Gathering for all Se7ens and similar cars
Croc replied to locost7018's topic in Great Lakes
Too cold? Its May? This looks like a great event - very well planned. Nice area to drive too. -
My tach has a rectangular plug and not a square one like yours. I could not unplug my tach to check pin count as I have to dismantle the dash to do so which is a fairly time consuming effort on the CSR swoopy dash style - apologies. Guessing, I surmise yours is an older style plug. I think you will have to get a new plug and rewire your existing plug pin-ins to the new-style tach plug so it will connect to the new tach. I doubt there will be an off the shelf solution but Bruce is sometimes good with miracles.

30% on a Youtube video or 40-50% if you talk to any one of the various industry bodies for the USA market. Either way, that is a LOT of extra electricity that is required and it costs a truck load of money to build the new power plants that have to start being built immediately if the capacity is to be available by 2030. The UK has a single power market unlike the US, so it can direct the investment in a coordinated fashion to make a decent attempt of making it. But then again the country is run by a Boris.... Either way, I think Caterham is safe from electric vehicles for the time being. They can afford to wait for electric 'engine' technology and battery technology to emerge and gain mainstream adoption to reduce costs via volume.

If the CSR tach is no longer available then this cross-referenced part number may provide another option. TACHO 2015MY "BASE PACK" - Caterham Parts

It looks like my suspicion is correct - you seem to have the same ECU as a Caterham 7 CSR260, at least based on the exterior code - no guarantees that the original map has not been overwritten. For tach, the part number on the back of my tach has the following label.
