  1. Its already here @fastg I have been 3D printing unobtainium parts on my cars for the last 4 years.
  2. Yep it was "brace fluid". Glad you did a track event with that brace fluid....
  3. Can potentially be repurposed as a race or track car. FL Cert of Destruction does not require crushing like some states.
  4. Have a chat with Nisonger Instruments https://www.nisonger.com/ My bet is they tell you to forget about it. They would not repair my 2004, 2010 or 2018 speedos. Their unofficial rule is to only repair within the last 4 years of manufacture. Sad. If you want to repair then your best bet will then to be send it to a UK specialist.

  6. Friday June 13 and Saturday June 14, 2025 Thunderbolt circuit - freshly repaved at the beginning of 2024. For 2025 they will have done the new circuit change which is a cut through of the "octopus' head at Thunderbolt, rejoining at the 'squiggles' just before the bridge. So it will be a much faster course. If your se7en is not working then yes we can arrange for you to participate with a non-7 in another group. If you are new to the track in your se7en then the introductory program is a gentle way to learn the basics in a safe pace car environment with classroom learning. If we do not get a minimum of 10 cars we will be out with the open wheel group. As people found in previous years this is not a problem other that you need to learn passing in the corners as those Formula Fords and Radicals are quite quick. Dates are subject to NJMP finalization and approval of track schedule for all groups (not just its DC program). More details will follow
  7. Caterham on Bringatrailer - this has been for sale on Hemmings for the last few weeks (so included in the last few weeks of listing summaries https://bringatrailer.com/listing/caterham-super-seven-8/?utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=campaign_2648441
  8. Ah I see - I thought it was a shipping issue. Yes a lot of UK businesses will not sell because of them freaking out over US product liability issues. Attorneys tend to scare people unnecessarily. I think you need to find a UK friend who can buy it and receive it on your behalf.

  12. Special buy not offered to C&L7C international members - I inquired. UK only delivery. VAT would be levied.
  13. Front vented discs Rear standard non vented discs. The parts numbers in those photos are the AP Racing parts numbers. Normally if you go to the AP Racing website you can search for tech specs by part number - these did not come up likely as Caterham have a proprietary agreement with AP Racing. I bet you could ring AP Racing and talk to someone to get what you want. The catalog may list these part numbers but I did not read through the 130 pages to prove it.
  14. If they are vented fronts then they are AP Racing. I have an unused set in their box which I can take photos of tomorrow.
  15. They are British, so alcohol!
  16. Thats close. Was there earlier this year for lunch. Family is in Annecy/Ugine - so only an hour away from you on backroads. I know the area well. Will be there in late November. Lets see if I can carve out some time to swing by in person.
  17. Caterham on Bringatrailer https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1999-caterham-super-seven-3/
  18. Yes it is Ted's car - I matched it up to the old ad earlier. Definitely not as good condition when Ted had it.
  19. It would have been done last year with the repave, however, they ran out of time (or forgot - depending on who you talk to) to get the NJ EPA to approve the modifications to the site for drainage. I think they were required to add a new drainage pond and that type of earth moving is expensive and time consuming. I have not heard if it is definitely going to be done over the 24/25 winter but the impetus for the change was from NASCAR (for ARCA series) as they thought it would suit the cars better. The Octopus section was always a contrived corner. This should make the overall circuit flow better. It will reduce top speed down the straight to Turn 1 as the straight effectively began where you exit the Octopus - I don't lift throttle from there until braking at Turn 1.
  20. Just to clarify, the roll cage on this car for sale is the basic standard Caterham one. I agree with you in that it is inadvisable to track the car with this roll bar. In the UK you would be excluded from certain track days with this roll bar (for example, C&L7C, Lotus on Track, RMA, etc.). Not the case in the USA but that does not mean you should do it. The upgrades for track use had (depending on the year for sale) one or two diagonals from top of one corner diagonally down to the base of the opposing shock tower. This provides additional lateral bracing in the event of a roll over. Back in the early 1990s this was sometimes known as an "FIA Rollbar" in the Caterham catalogs. I vaguely recall it was still allowed for racing in the UK Caterham series at that stage - something I find a little shocking given the comprehensive cages used today. I think you can still use that roll bar in the UK for certain UK hillclimbs and sprint competion events. A petty strut is different. The FIA roll bar was only technically compliant with FIA regs (at the time - we are early 1990s here) if a petty strut was fitted. It was a removable strut that ran from the roll bar forward into the passenger compartment chassis bar to provide additional reinforcing and driver space protection in a crash. A passenger could not use the seat (or th a Tillet had to be removed) if the petty strut was installed. In the photo below you can see the components. The petty strut is the long separate bar independent of the roll bar. You would bolt it in separately from the roll bar. Roll bar was a permanent installation but the petty strut could be added for a competition and removed afterwards for passengers. You can still buy roll bars with diagonals from Caterham for this car. Not a great photo from Brands Hatch, but the petty strut is the yellow bar running forward into the passenger space.
  21. Welcome to USA 7s Anthony! You and I have interacted on C&L7C Blatchat over the years as I am also a long term member there. You have a lovely part of the world to enjoy a Caterham in. Where in Switzerland are you? I get to Geneva and Zurich a few times a year for work plus have family just south of Geneva.
  22. If it is the car I think it is, then it was owned in southern NJ by a former USA7s member. EDIT: Just confirmed it is the same car - last sold late March 2016. It was in a LOG video with my Caterham one year - the year LOG was in Princeton. There are a few Steel Bros cars stateside. (the generic NZ/Australian abbreviation of Brothers is 'Bros' - chassis plate is Bro I know). A rebuild thread here where the poster is doing a series of very good youtube videos on the restoration Sadly, this car has been neglected a bit since I last saw it. It was in lovely original condition.

    New Battery

    Hi Steve - yes it is over the end of the passenger footwell. Its been a while since I installed this but if I want the battery out I undo the top cross plate and pull it out the top. The side plates are screwed down to the base - never touch those. I feel like I am missing your point? Apologies - its been a long week!
