I’m not sure about the caterham frame. My Birkin has a crossmember beneath gearbox that un-bolts. Then remove everything bolted onto the engine & prop shaft & lower engine/gearbox down & out. No clearance to go forward & up (which also has the joyous bonus of all that delightfully sticky sweet gear oil pouring out the tail shaft). have fun

I have an old Haltech sport but expect newer & other systems will similarly let you specify hall vs reluctor & tooth configuration. So as NSXguy noted you get to specify the setting. Basic thought is to also check continuity of wires in your loom… I had cryptic faults from by wiring issues discovered after lots of wasted sensor examinations & head scratching.

I have Haltech (a now 'old' sport model) - came with my car. IIRC, I've heard good things about Typhoon ECU. may be worth looking into (I have not personal experience)
-
I know that is a recurring glitch.... but don't understand how the sensor and left fender are connected. I wish I could have been there this weekend with everyone, I tried to 'drop in' for Sunday dinner but SWMBO thought an extra 4hrs of travel time was too much today.

Didn’t someone observe Hoosiers or another brand weren’t dated (or maybe the date wasn’t clearly marked in conventional manner) ? granted the bureaucrat’s answer would be “no date = out of date”

2026 Annual HPDE Hosted by NJMP Drivers Club - October 17/18, 2026
wemtd replied to Croc's topic in National Events
Sadly, Schedules prevent me from attending (a first in over 10 years ) none the less looking over the tech form: key type/lanyard ?? Is the idea to secure key Fob's to driver on a lanyard, & not affecting my 60 year old key technology? -
check VDO's web page: I had failure with my VDO Speedometer a few years ago. sent it to a VDO Sanctioned repair co (IIRC somewhere in southeast). they very quickly repaired & returned it at fraction of replacement cost.

I thought it may have been Maroon but want sure. I guess Memory is starting to fail & I haven’t seen it in a long time.

Does the buyer get an autographed copy of Lightning turn 7 water sports photo (with photographer Mike) ?
-
I epoxied BigHead fastener to front fender & bolted on Lexan flaps. They’re flexible enough & have worked great for over 10 years.

Nj also require head-neck restraint device. none of which are required for non-driving participants.
-
Check for an alternator repair shop.

I think TomC has had good experiences with Typhoon ECU’s

red threadlock: how much heat do you need? Birkin mirror adventure.
wemtd replied to pethier's topic in General Tech
Use a heat gun & be patient. iirc the #on the thread locked corresponds to the F release temp. But easier for you to double check. also: Did I mention patience ? to ensure the whole piece warms up… I once encountered a wheel spacer glued by the thread locker. -
Carlisle ?

I think Mike’s photos from NJMP & Seb on the grid would have been better.

When trailering (open trailer) advice has always been to go ‘Au Natural’: vibration/wind movement of a tarp or cover will damage & rub paint & patina off the vehicle. first time in the rain was painful but I now accept it and more comfortable driving in the tow vehicle.
-
Hearing & vision protection should always be worn. So if you like: pants are optional.
-
If you’ve never seen one in the wild it’s definitely worth a tour around PNW As well as a trip to PDX. between adjusting pedal box & seat your height can be accommodated. The newer(current) Birkin chassis also comes in two sizes: ‘tight’ & ‘relaxed fit’ good luck with your hunt
-
Are you sure you don’t want to hold onto them just in case you need spares to swap in…
-
Thank goodness you’re safe. I believe Chris retired several years ago. what engine & particulars do you have? Might help folks in the know. i expect the cable is off the shelf. And worst case if you can find wiring diagram & build a new loom. some folks have used “painless wiring harness” though I suspect this solves a more Modern loom problem

Food for thought: 1) Horizontal racequip oil filter adapter (or remote filter) 2) oil cooler with thermostatic sandwich plate 3) drain plug in bottom of radiator (cleaner than disconnecting hose to drain system) 4) CHMSL with turn indicator lights 5) aero-style (newton equip) gas filler cap - doesn’t leak, works great. 6) Tillett seat. 7) spray bed liner under wheel arches

Thanks Croc. On the calendar for 2026 Hopefully 11 months is enough time for me to make sure tyres are in-date & replace my harness.

Would there be any use in taking an(or multiple) wheels off the trailer if it isn't used on a regular basis?
