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.

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...

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
