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...

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
