Caterhams aren’t, PRB’s and Westfield replicals are everywhere.

A current Caterham is still a $100k car..

a 70's - 80's Caterham will bring anything from $30k - $70k

base model goes for about 13,000 pounds in the UK (kit form). Granted thats probably still about $50k AUD :happy:

yep 400hp in a s13 goes quite nicely! Though i just read the reccomend a rebuild every 30 hours? screw that

Never! but V8s with ITBs are sex, and when was the last time you saw a v8 s13?! It would be an interesting project. Perhaps you need one for your mower?

:happy:

LS1 S13 do it.

Don't think the will sell you a Caterham kit unless you're in the UK. You can only import the pre assembled ones from their factory. Not 100% but I'm sure I've read it somewhere on their site.

Turn key, ADR spec, will cost you about 100k on road for a "2010" one.

Correct.

Transport are comming down HARD on the imported 70's and 80's Caterham's at moment as webers are not ADR spec and they didn't come with collapsible steering columns, amoung other things

Caterham have beaten us to the punch. Supercharged 2.4L V8. 115k pounds though.

LS1s are dirty heaps of shit

Would be the way I'd go for a v8 S13. It has all been done before and there are a few places doing kits now. Easy 400hp and dickloads of torque forever and ever amen. No heavier than an RB26 either.

You come (almost) every week, doesn't need moar you.

I was listing the slackers who haven't been turning up lately

True... last week was the only week I haven't been there so far. Although I did turn up... just it was when you and Dan were leaving :D

in my experience they are surprisingly un-torquey for the size of the f**king things!

They make like 350hp at 4kish and 350ft lbs of torque from 2k. Easy enough for an S13. exhaust, intake and a reflash should see 400hp and more torque again

It's still 5.7L's of pushrod shit.... If you'd want a v config motor that's kinda unique go the vq30det. 210kw's and 386 Nm @3600 rpm from factory :)

Whos coming out tonight? Needs more tractors, emos, croats, SAUQLD members, boats, gabnrs, etc

No tractors, no emos, no SAUQLD peeps, no boats and no gabnrs :(

Just a croat and some etcs. f*cking weak effort guys :)

It's still 5.7L's of pushrod sh!t....

Morning boys and girls :D

Morning mang

Can someone please look at this picture and tell me what the highlighted areas represent?

Im guessing here, but i reckon the 88/88/80 is the amount of dish, and the 51/39/31 probably has something to do with how much brake clearance you get...

EDIT: Or possibly the other way round...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
