  1. nevermind, I put the steering wheel back on and used it like a slide hammer and beat the hell out of it until it came off. Thanks for the help scannon! Now am I going to have to reuse that plastic bushing when I put the new new column on? And do i need a new one or can i reuse the old one? Also I test fitted the new column and it isn't straight with the holes for the steering wheel, is there a way I can adjust that?
  2. I removed the ignition where you put the key in and tried again and it still is stuck. can you explain this bushing a little more and where exactly it is? The sound of where its getting caught is coming from the third picture where I unbolted it from the shaft
  3. I'm trying to install my new quick release steering column and i got it almost out but it seems to be catching on something. It only comes out as far as the pictures show. When i try pulling it out you can here it hitting on something. Am i missing something? Do i need to loosen the two bolts under the dash?
  4. Are these still being made? i would like a bellypan and also the sump guard. Is there anyway to contact Mike? he hasn't been on for a couple years it looks like.
  5. the caterham site says the watts linkage kit replaces the existing radius arms http://caterhamparts.co.uk/product.php?id_product=169
  6. Hey i was just wondering what the difference is between these two rear suspension styles. Is there any performance advantage to the watts linkage? I have seen a lot of cars with this option.
  7. Hey i wanted to know what my caterham is currently worth (insurance reasons). Im not selling the car but just want to know the current fair value. I have a 2003 Caterham Dedion with a 2.0 Zetec motor. Leather seats, ITB's, 6 speed and has 9267 miles on it. Body is in good condition, the car has a few rock chips here and there on the front nosecone and rear fenders. Thanks in advance.
  8. thanks!
  9. I just bought these new nitrons for my caterham along with the widetrack suspension kit. I was wondering what i should adjust the spring preload to for the front and the rears before install these on my cars. Id like a slightly lower or stock ride height, nothing too low. Thanks
  10. Hey, just have a quick question on my brake line fittings. Would they be imperial or metric on my car? I have a 2003 Dedion S3, thanks in advance.
  11. The link i posted are not actual R500 seats?
  12. will the R500 seats fit in any S3 caterham? Also do you need any other seat rails or to make these fit? http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/seats-interior/caterham-r500-race-seat
  13. haha! i agree, very well put
  14. ok sounds good to me, which one is the red bar? 5/8in?
  15. alright, thanks, where can i get a rear anti roll bar kit? can i only get it from caterham?
  16. i know my car currently doesn't have a rear roll bar but wanted to know if my car has mounts to make it be able to have a rear roll bar, where would the roll bar mounts be located on a 2003 s3 dedion?
  17. i am getting widetrack suspension on my car so i wanted to know if this quick rack would work with my car. http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/suspension-steering/caterham-alloy-quick-racks On this site they have a 8 or 22 percent version. I do not want the 22 percent version, only the 8 percent. But when i click the 8 percent version it says they only have it available in the narrow track version. The widetrack kit i am getting says it come with steering rack extensions though, so would it work if i got the 8 percent rack with the narrow track version but added the steering rack extensions? here is the widetrack i am getting… http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/suspension-steering/caterham-widetrack-front-suspension-kit
  18. alright, how do i know if my car has mounting points for a rear sway bar, where are they located? my car is a 2003 s3 dedion. Also are the only available rear sway bar kits from caterham or are there others available?
  19. alright thanks again for the response, i think i will go with the 5/8in like said before. now i just have a question on the brakes, i want new bigger brakes along with the widetrack suspension, which of the 7 speed brakes will work, 232 0r 260mm I am gonna get new rims too eventually, i want wider and lighter rims like yellow7 said, so will this make my my brake choice different?
  20. thanks for the response, since the widetrack depends on the brakes i think i will do the brake upgrade as well. Now i have been looking at brakes and the have a few choices at 7 speed. 232mm or 260mm http://www.sevenspeed.co.uk/products/caterham-caterham-232mm-ultralite-4-conversion or http://www.sevenspeed.co.uk/products/caterham-260mm-ultralite-4-conversion would these brake kits work on my car, and will i need different rims if i go with the 260mm brake kit? also the higher the antiroll bar (1/2in compared to 9/16in) means it will be stiffer right? Thanks again for the help, i just wanna make sure i get all this right before i order it!
  21. I decided to get the widetrack front suspension for my car and now am just deciding what setting i want/need for my car. My car is a 2003 S3 dedion the the chassis options they have are imperial or metric, I'm pretty sure i have imperial right? Also which anti roll bar should i get, they have quite a few options, my car is a street/track car. Also they have an option for which brakes i have, standard or the HP upgrade brakes, which do have on my car? http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/suspension-steering/caterham-widetrack-front-suspension-kit Thanks for the help, i want to get all the specs right before i place my order.
  22. does anyone have the contact info for borla/TWM so i can rebuild parts?
  23. i bought a heated sweatshirt which works great for driving in colder weather, its an easy option instead of installing power sockets. http://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2370
  24. I meant i need the whole ITB setup, i should have made that more clear. ^^ that ITB looks very nice, Would it be a direct replacement?
  25. My ITB wore out and needs to be replaced, where can i find a new one? The motor is a 2.0L Zetec. I took a few pics of it as well.
