Waiting for transport.  Both going to Josh at Rocky Mountain Caterham.  The HPC for sale and the r400 for the diff.

Done with the oil and filter change. Button it up and go for a drive!

Went to a car show over the weekend, great day to be out! Most annoying question of the day (from a 5 year old): "Are you too old to get in and out of this car?" I'm thinking "move along son, you're bothering me."

Looks awesome!  What does your sign say?

[TN_Scooter]

Sign has the specs for the car, HP rating, 0-60 time, top speed. Answers the usual questions people ask. Picked up the idea at a car show, thought it was useful.

Nice pic on a beautiful day....after I ran out of gas and had to push the car a quarter mile.

 

Surprise as I had what I thought was a full tank of gas and only drove about 40 miles.

 

Turns out gas capacity is supposedly 10 gallons. I always thought it was 5 gallons as my tank keeps overflowing when I pump ~4 gallons. It'll also read full on the gauge after that.

 

I also have the Beachman Racing fuel gauge modification.

Per Caterham, S3 fuel tank capacity is 9.5 gallons (36 liters), and the SV is 10.8 gallons (41 liters). In both cases, the last 1.5-2 gallons isn't accessible due to the shape of the tank and the relation to the fuel pump pickup. 

 

It might be worth starting a separate thread on this if you need troubleshooting advice.

Ouch! Good thing the car is so light. My gas gauge reads "full" all the time, probably because there is no sending unit whatsoever. I deal with it by keeping an eye on miles driven. So far so good... 🤞

Went to a local Cars and Coffee with some fellow Tar Heel Sports Car Club members this morning.  Good publicity for the club.     Planning to get back into autocross so I joined again after a 25 year break.

My r400 is off 1/4 tank...if it reads 3/4 it is full.... I'm told wonky, poorly adjusted senders are very common.  I've never had the fuel overflow unless I didn't place the gas nozzle exactly right.  Exactly right means I have to hold it and find a spot where it will run properly.  The fuel injected models seem very touchy about that.

We drove Purple Reign (cracked fender and all) to our first event of the season yesterday and today. This marks the one year anniversary of the infamous "stop sign crash." It was on Sunday morning, May 4, 2025 that it happened.

We left our home Saturday morning around 8:20 a.m. and it was very cold, only 1c but with bright sunshine. However, it quickly turned miserable with heavy cloud cover and the odd rain drop or ten. Around 1:00 p.m. that turned to ice pellets so we packed up and drove home. It is only a 12 minute drive.

Even though the weather was lousy the show lot filled up quickly. By midmorning the vender areas were packed. Sunday was still cool reaching a high of around 8c but with clear, sunny skies. However, nobody showed up. I mean it was dead. There were never more than 25 cars in the show lot and no lineups to get into the flea market.

Oh well, it's the Boot and Bonnet Club's spring Autojumble and Car Show this coming Saturday, May 9. Hopefully the fender will be repaired by then and the weather will be as sunny as today was but much warmer.

(That’s my brother’s ’59 Corvette he calls Betty Boop beside us.)
