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 read on YouTube that the neo has 2 bleeder valves? Can't see anything in the manual though
    • The only other time I changed it is when I noticed it had become discoloured after a few track days (it was .. yellowish). So I drained and refilled the rad.  I think most people are in this situation. It's not like the car ran any cooler after I changed the coolant either. I'm gonna go with "If it makes you feel better, change it!"
    • Ah ok. I put in a new radiator previously and flushed the coolant out at the same time but it is getting to that 2 year mark. My car is pretty much a daily driver in a sense but haven't put heaps of km on it.
    • I think you'll find that with modified cars, the radiator has to come out more often than once every 2 years, meaning this generally gets cycled pretty well lol. If I had a car that had been sitting for 5+ years I'd probably flush the coolant. Coolant really shouldn't go off. It's main purpose is to inhibit rust and stop the whole thing from freezing, the latter not really being an issue here.
    • The nissan manual says to change coolant every 2 years. Is this still necessary if you're using coolant like Penrite or nulon which has improved over the years? It says it lasts 500,000km which seems hard to believe lol.
