MichaelD Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 FYI an SV is 4 inches wider and 4 inches longer than a standard Caterham Seven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikker Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Re Sv That is a big increase I do not think they loose much on the looks But with regard to the reg S3...are they all they all mow what would be classed as longer cockpit and larger footwell from 96 or do on?

wemtd Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 KitCat Out of curiosity, how does your you cat compare to the birkin with regards to driver/passenger space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowss7 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Sorryi meant to ask if they are long cock and wide footwell Sounds kinky Wide footwell???? I think someone is pulling your leg. The foot well in my 2000 series 3, is pretty tight. I have to wear racing shoes in order to get all three pedals. Wearing regular shoes, there is no way you could do it. We'll maybe if you had size 6 feet. The SV footwell is significantly larger and normal shoes will work. But don't let anyone tell you a standard S3 chassis has lots of room.

Kitcat Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Wemtd: They provide virtually the same interior width for passenger/driver (the Birkin is maybe 1/2" narrower). Lengthwise, the Caterham is definitely better proportioned:the steering wheel is much further away. The Birkin feels exactly like the short cockpit Caterham from the waist up. Even w/my extremely thin carbon fiber racing seat in my Birkin all the way back, I can't extend my arms like I can on the Caterham, with the seat moved up on its slider abt 2". The Birkin has lots of leg room but I am shoved too close to the steering wheel using standard fat seats. It is ok w/thin racing seat tho. For folks our size (5'9-ish) it works, but I dont know how well it wld work for a bigger driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikker Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Kit Have you ever seen a fabricated cut out and pod bulge done to allow an area for dead pedal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitcat Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Riker: Nope, it wld put your foot space out side the car and therefore spoil the lines but I am sure it cld be done. I rest my left foot under the clutch on trips. Around town it hovers over the clutch ready to shift, wh/I do a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceBowker Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 "Around town it hovers over the clutch ready to shift, wh/I do a lot." Exactly what I do. I am 6'1" not fat and have no problem with the foot well or seating. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
