You were flying!!!!
Per their website, you were 4” off the track record and about 1&1/2” behind Randy Pobst’s times in a 911 Turbo and a Nissan GTR.
Not too shabby on worn Hoosiers.
It is the...
Caterham sells an uprated rear brake package. I have it on my track-only car. As I recall it includes vented discs. My pads seeem to last forever, front and back. If your Cat is like mine and has a...
What are the wheel and tire specs?
I love the clams!
Not sure how well the plush interior will hold up to life in a Caterham cockpit. It doesn’t seem especially retro either. I love the steering...
Will do Jonathan.

I have a used set of 4 adjustable Caterham shocks. And I am in Cincy:). Out of town til March 8. Can’t give any details except I bought them from Craig Chima, but never got around to installing. Not...
Temp is same there then as in NY.
A NYTimes article recently said elec cars = 2.5x more elec demand. No idea where that # came from tho, seems way high. I also saw an article that said Japan was thinking of adding 27 new coal fired...
I was going to say what Croc said, but less coherently:). I think the GM plan to be all elec by 2030 is corporate malpractice/ suicide. GMmakes an electric called the Bolt. They can’t give them away....
I am impressed that it doesn’t have a dirt floor:).
The Rocky Mountain S2 Lotus 7 is very nice! On the same page RM lists a 2021 Caterham SS1600 kit, for $49K. That seems a bit high for a basic throwback Caterham, tho I agree the clams add value:). I...
Sounds like there is no chance that BessieTheSeven will reappear? We can all breath a sigh of relief! If ever there was a politically incorrect, unwoke female, it was Bessie.
My DD is a VW Touareg. It has a footprint and overall size that approximates a Honda Accord(tho it is much taller). And it has a tow package rated at 7,700 lbs, or about the same as a standard, but...
Papak: So a cop motor, cop tires, cop suspension and cop shocks? He must have been on a mission from God(if you catch my reference:)).
This is a new definition of “four wheels off” the track! The traditional definition has caused more than one track day driver to have to come in for a chat (or at least one driver I can think of,...
Mark IV= Time Machines.
Mohair boot cover!
The owner paid $46K for it and put $30-35K into recent improvements, after blowing up the engine.
I love this Cat's 2.0 Duratec, tho I know the 2.3L and 2.5L make more power. This one had about...
My wife sat in mine once, and that was enough:). But talk about good sport, she also supported (or didn't object) to me finally fulfilling my age 14-15 dream car fixation, at age 61 (and still going...
Great choice! I look forward to reading progress notes all the way thru the first drive.
And kudos to your wife for being such a good sport.
With practice, getting in and out will be much easier...
After spending a bit of time looking at the BAT/CAT, I count nearly $30K in recent upgrades after looking at his paperwork.
Maybe that's why the bid just jumped $5K (to $30K)? I suspect the price...
Hey Paul: I have a '19 Miata that came with 17" wheels and there is an amazing assortment of tires for it.
At the 13" size, there is little choice (tho the choices are excellent). Given the...
Minilites come in many sizes, including 13". As the size goes down, unfortunately, so does the tire choice. FWIW-my Cat came with a 13" wheel/tire combo up front that, together, weighed in around 19...
My 2.0 Zetec SVT, shown above, is totally stock, including intake, no ITB's, no bonnet cutout (all per SCCA rules and regs, to make it less competitive). No catalytic converter, but that's it as far...
I vaguely recall R&T reporting bright cars have 50% less accidents than dark cars.
What little I have found on-line says black cars are the most dangerous and white are the safest (by 12%). Gray...
