Sun visor options Ram - this brand can mount heavy cameras to my various cars and not come off on a race track. It should handle a Caterham 620 on the road with a sun visor despite being a single suction mount. RAM Universal Sun Visor with Suction Cup Mount - MyPilotStore.com Aircraft visors Aircraft Visors, Side Window Visors | Visors (oregonaircraftdesign.com) Clamp this to the windscreen or suction mount it MODSVT-BK Axia 12" Sun Visor Tinted 2 Clamp Mounts Needed 814628021381 | eBay

I would not necessarily trust that statement. I am aware of two 620s in the USA that have had the fix. I suspect their statement is more indicative of incomplete communication/collective memory with their USA dealers. It is correct to say that not all 620s seem to be equally affected - that is a genuine puzzle to me - one I put down to less observant owners.

Forget sending help. Can I have the car if you don't make back? Just looking out for you....looking....not very hard....

There are visors for kit cars - google "sun visors for kit cars" to get ideas. But its an open top car, at some point the sun will be over the top of the windscreen. Most of us use sunglasses or a tight fitting visored cap. You could look at a Soft Bits for Sevens or Thundersports sun top that runs from windscreen to top of roll bar.

I think you will find the car has the race brake master cylinder installed. That gives a firmer pedal than the standard master cylinder. I would not recommend downgrading the master cylinder. However, it could also be that the brake pads are too hard a compound for how you are driving. They require some heat to provide friction stopping power. On a track you would have no problems generating heat but on a road it can be difficult to get them up to temp. Its a compromise if you are doing a combination of road and track. Did the previous owner set the car for track days? First thing to consider - do you need to use brakes? Most people over brake se7ens - too early and too much. Habit makes us do that. If you have adjusted your driving style for the capabilities of the car then second option is look to find a softer brake pad that is more suited to road use and gets hotter at lower speeds. Ask Hillbank what make/spec of brake pad they have on the car now? A few people on USA7s have been experimenting with brake pads recently and you can tap into their knowledge to work out what would be a step softer from your installed spec. Pads are an easy cheap change. No one does boosters on a se7en - its a 1250lb car.

Congratulations! Your timing is great.

Sounds like the standard Ford ECU that Caterham USA used in that period on the SVT Zetec. I got familiar with it when I owned a 2004 Caterham SV. Its a quality ECU. OBDII readable (although with some expected fault codes - fuel tank and emission control fails). Far more sophisticated and advanced than the MBE ECU supplied with new Caterhams today - a case of mid-90s Ford OEM technology being better than the relatively primitive MBE model used by Caterham. The problem is exactly as @MV8 identified - there will be nothing on the shelf for a tune. There is a forum member, who is a tuning vendor, who will likely be along shortly to talk about his solution. He will have one pathway for you. But the other approach is an after market ECU as suggested by MV8 which requires a fair amount of effort. The tune itself is going to take time but some modification to the Caterham wiring harness is also on the cards. For example, I don't think that older model had wide band lambda which is going to be desirable for tuning. There is an old thread from Athens7 (no longer an active member) back in 2007 who was trying to get performance upgrades on the SVT. He ran into a world of pain just trying to tune for an upgraded camshaft supplied by Caterham USA. I cannot find all of the discussion but one key piece was here: Keep in mind, this was for just a camshaft upgrade and not ITBs but it shows the challenge that will need to be navigated. I thought it particularly notable that Variable Cam Timing was being locked out with the new tune. Thats a big loss in making a shift. I never heard of the final outcome for this but assumed he got there in the end. It was this discussion that made me look to changing Caterhams to a Duratec in order to get a power upgrade pathway. It looked too hard to get the promised hp gains without spending a lot of money. Can I ask a question back - what are you looking for from the power upgrade? Do you have an objective in mind or is this just opportunistic given you saw the kit and thought (like all sensible men on USA7s - including me!) that more power would be cool?

Don't listen to him. A man cannot have too many car projects. The real issue is that he cannot have a big enough garage!

The issue with fogging is that with the top up and the sidescreens on you have created your classic prison sauna. Heat from the engine bay and humidity all round combines to be the fogging agent, particularly with a cold stream of air on the other side of the windscreen. The only real solution is to find a way to vent some of the hot humid air out and replace with some cool external air. Side screen ajar? Lower attachment point released? Rear window unzipped? You will have to experiment with your hood. Definitely rainx worked for me. Needs reapplying frequently - will not last more than a few weeks at most. Having one of these in the car to deal with the inevitable misting helps Amazon.com: Evelots 2 Pack Windshield Defogger-Mirror/Window Cleaner-No Chemical-No Scratch : Automotive

Its worse. It means in a race setting I have messed with his mind and already won. He will be thinking of me when he should be concentrating on driving and winning. Clearly I will now be faster on track than Bruce.

No - definitely not a thorn, just a mild prick. We just needed to balance the varying directions of enthusiasm that all of us have automotive while remaining on topic for those who need their focus to be solely on sevens. I think this thread works well. Besides which, most of us have automotive interests beyond sevens and these often have a connection to our sevens. Mind you that connection may be quite tenuous in the case of Birkin Bernie's other cars!

Well you are. Not everyone is a Bruce!
