It's great seeing it being re-built, I thought it had long since been destroyed......following with interest.

More fuel and tweaked ignition timing along with more revs, sounds like a recipe for detonation:D
My guess would be a bottle for easy power.
Hey,
When is the next meet. Be cool to catch up.
BTW POB has had a diet of carbon, big valves, porting, throttle bodies and mapping. I can't say 'how much' it is going to make but I hope more...
I am going up along with a coupe of mates (1x Caterham, 1x Elise) It would be great to see an NSX up there at such an entertaining circuit:D
...
Buy a stock sump plug, its prolly the same as a Civic. It gives me the hump all these anodized bolt ons, the magnet isn't a bad idea but how many NSX's have run 150K without them, save the money;) If...
Yes it is my old car.
The used car market is taking a dip, especially NSX type cars which are heavy-ish on fuel. Caterhams are doing the same with toys being sold to shore up finances in the...
If anyone wants to join in on Saturday it can only be a good thing. It might turn out to be a damp squid but I am prepared to gamble on turning up. Worst case it will be a mini meet for a bunch of...
Thanks to everyone for organizing the event and special thanks to Simon and his other half for the food.
Now the awards.
NSX - Senninha, looks great mate love the new bonnet (from the last...
Hi Mark,
If it is 'just' following the factory taper at +5mm then matching everything I would have a go. I cant say for the NSX but generally when you set up a throttle pot its at zero and max. ...
Paul,
If anyone here has a TB that they want boring then I can do it. I have bored carb's for race bikes (tapered bells) and have lots of experience with one off machining. I can also draw the TB...
My .02
I/H/E give gains. Obviously any production manufacturer has to honour silly regs rather than make an engine more driveable.
If I had my time again I would get the head flowed and...
Along with every other Caterham owner I have contracted upgraditis and some of the things that I stumble upon I think some of you here might be interested in?
...
You will find that most *** door cards of this vintage will have the optional fall to pieces as soon as you touch them theme, a trip to the local scrap yard will get you a doorcard off of 'something'...
Prolly been removed to repair the amp or motor/mechanism. If you need plastic sheet let me know, from what I remember it is blue LLDPE I have some white or natural at work.
Aquaplaning.
From what I have learnt and been told.
No power, I found with the NSX trailing throttle upset it less than what I have now. Firm grip on the wheel, absolutely no brakes or...
I paid 24K for a 99 last year and sold it for a little more a few months back. As for what is possible to buy IME for 25K you will get a 3.2 with higher mileage or a lower mileage 3.0. There isn't...
Absolutely.
It is easy to get all misty eyed about values but your car is only worth what someone is willing to pay. As for this one I would be asking the question if a kilo of something was...
I am sure you are missing the car right now. Its going to be even worse in a few months.
Sorry just telling you how it is:laugh:
RB recommend Hawk for their discs. They are also a better internal design and just as hard as oem. With the mileage we are talking about here it is not worth worrying about and if it were me I would...
Yes, its done. Earlier today I can report that Chewy left my ownership and has hew headed off into the sunset. I am sure the new owner will be along to introduce himself at some point in the near...
Basically the first time this comes up in court of law it will get laughed out, typical of the Police to focus on thing like this than actaully tackling real crime in the community. It could be...
Yup he's an idiot.
Funny, probably an ex club racer who was never good enough to do well on the track or ran out of money so went back to riding like a complete f*ckwit on the roads endagering...
Cantrell already sell an airbox like this (and say exactly the same about the bend in the stock system), it makes more noise but tested back to back on a dyno it does pretty much nothing. Also if you...
Cheers for the comments guys, he hasn't gone yet! Although its just a matter of money changing hands.
When he goes on Monday I will post up with some thoughts and the next project ;)
