The Beast

[yellowss7]

This is a picture of my Ferrari Yellow, 2000 Caterham Superlight #123. Powered by a Dry Sumped 195 bhp,     1.8 liter Rover K series, weighing in at a svelt 1164 pounds. Still learning how to get the most out of it.

Thought I'd share a pic of the heart of the beast prior to installation. Gold dry sump pump is mounted right front, altenator had to be mounted off the front of the engine facing toward the engine due to the headers and steering column on the left hand side. Dry sump tank is incorporated in the bellhousing.

sweet ride man. My car has such a long way to go before it'll look that good.

Thanks Mazda, 7 years old now and it still looks OK despite the constant blasting by the stones that get kicked up by the front tires. More now than ever with the soft and wide slicks. These cars are meant to be driven, with the possible exception of Sugino's masterpiece.

 

 

 

Caterham put together a pretty nice kit, and it only took a total of 80 hours to build with only a few issues due to it being a LHD Dry Sumped K Series which Caterham told me they never built before.   http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/confused5.gif

We're not terribly far away from each other, should meet up some time. Is your car track only? And can we call you something but Yellow?

Yes Al, those are Carbon trumpets and it is street legal. It's on the CR500's today and will be going out shortly to test my new Bullet Cam Christmas present. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/biggrin5.gif Would love to meet up for a Blat sometime. And you DEFINATELY must bring Orange to one of our Autocrosses.
