Vovchandr Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 What are your goals and plans for this year? In no particular order Swap headlights to the front mount position of later years instead of the rear position Install CF headlight buckets Figure out overheating at idle issue Install Westermann bits and pieces (CSR wings, CF mirrors, wishbone aero) Get SLR wheel center caps manufactured/fitted Mock up 620R nosecone and get it painted Bump up agreed value on the insurance policy Enjoy and put a bunch of miles on the car.

wemtd Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 1- Change oil & coolant. 2- Dive more than last year. 3- attempt to add lightness to nut behind the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnifeySpoony Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Resist temptation to buy stickier tires, keep learning the car and shedding time on track. Only upgrade to ZZR after reasonably plateaued. Modify battery tray and install the antigravity battery I've had sitting on the shelf for many months. (aka add some lightness) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hmmm...this is a long list Have Bruce @BruceBefinish off CatKong New tires time for the silver Caterham CSR. New seats should arrive too in a few months Plenty of track days planned in UK for the Caterham I keep there - Donington, Goodwood, Brands Hatch GP, Croft, Cadwell Park. Get #1 Holden Group A restoration 60% done - new paint done. Engine bay done and fuel system sorted. Interior is next year Get #2 Holden Group A suspension sorted so that it does not provide bulk oversteer if I glance at a throttle. Its fun but.... Pick up Lambo from its spa treatment in CO and go touring in MT and WY as the next installment in my cross continent explorations. Want to drive Pikes Peak too. Finally find that knock in the offside rear suspension of the Ferrari. May consider painting it back to original navy blue? Finish the suspension set up on the BMW CSL with the new camber plates. Needs new tires. New fuel cell to fix pick up issues under hard lefts. Drive the Mustang and continue to physically destroy me. Look at the Holden Torana in the garage and wonder what I should do with it for restoration. Finish the exterior restoration of the Range Rover. Interior started - hopefully air con finished and working by December. Feel I have lost a car somewhere..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toldfield Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I plan to drive some of the proper roads on the central coast of California and attempt to do a track day that does not result in a new engine and transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croc Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 You are on the money Carl - Hydromat has already been ordered. I like the way they have designed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf4018 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 1. Repair the throttle pedal, which snapped in half at the weld at Sebring a few weeks ago. 2. Replace engine harness to get oil pressure feedback working again. 3. Install fuel pump control module. 4. See if there's a way to get the front brake pads out without having to disassemble the whole front end (the retaining pins are currently blocked by the fender arms). 5. Replace engine coolant antifreeze with water wetter type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) Caterham SV is good to go. A fresh set of Hoosier A6's are mounted on my track wheels just waiting. Other projects coming to completion this spring. S1 E-Type FHC - Hot engine rebuild from Bill Terry, TT Engines going in. 357 hp XK140MC OTS - Also a medium/hot Bill Terry rebuild going in at the moment. BB512 - Engine & suspension rebuild just about done. Alfa Giulia Spider Veloce - in for paint & chrome I know, I should just have my own engine shop...
