2011 Caterham Roadsport Sv 170 on 2040-cars
Cleveland, Tennessee, United States
|
Hi, I am offering for sale my personal Caterham car. This was built
in 2011. It is a Roadsport 170, so it used a stock Duratec 2L Ford
engine which puts out about 170-175 hp. The body style is the slightly
larger SV style, which is the preferred size for anyone larger (as in
taller and/or wider). The SV includes a larger pedal box.
The build of the car is documented here- http://www.britishspeed.com/gallery3...uild-SV-S3-170 This car is not for sale in California as I can't guarantee a registration there. There was a small mishap with this car where it was run into while stopped and the rear end of the car was rebuilt. While we had it in the race shop, everything was gone over and in fact, many things were improved from the factory build. The driveshaft was trued and balanced. They added new adjustments to the rear differential for better alignment. Brakes were gone over and improved. The car drives very well. The engine is very strong. Original cost to me to build this car was north if $55,000. It has a little over 1500 miles on it and the engine is VERY strong. There is some minor body damage on the very rear and very front from my being really stupid with a trailer. Otherwise it is perfect. Full weather gear. Leather seats. No heater (but one could be added). 5 speed gearbox. Added rear brake light to rollbar. Custom brackets for rear lights and custom license plate bracket. Factory options- SV size LSD differential Leather Seats 4 point track harnesses Black package Black Aero gas filler Upgraded track rollbar Starter button Carbon Fiber Dash Full paint with custom nose band and stripe (Almost a $4000 option) Extra options (I added) Wide view mirror Tunnel storage bag Toneau cover Custom rear light brackets Custom rear license plate frame with Carbon Fiber frame Added 3rd brake light to roll bar. Professionally done! Powder coated aluminum intake manifold 3m Film on nose CF rock guards on rear wings (you need these!) CF door sill covers I can help arrange shipping. To buy this same car new now, would be over $60K. We built this as the dealer for Caterham in California and the build was done expertly. There are only a couple minor blemishes that I chose to ignore, a small bit of body damage as shown in the picture of the rear of the car and a bit on the front. Easily fixed and the reason the car is heavily discounted. If you have no experienced what it is like to drive a Caterham, please do so. Drive one! It is amazing and therapeutic. Nothing like driving one of these on a country road. Please no low ball offers. This is a great deal at this price. There are new price lists of Caterhams that were given to the dealers and these relatively new cars in great shape are going to the way to go. Any price lower than what I am asking, I will just hang on to the car. The reason for selling is that I am negotiating to purchase another car and I need the garage space and wallet space. Ignore the listed VIN. Ebay requires a VIN of some sort so I had to put in my minivan. :) This Caterham is not registered yet. It can be easily registered in most states (other than California). I can supply original Manufacturer Certificate of Origin (MSO) and receipts for car, engine, and gearbox. Thanks! |

NHTSA investigating Lotus Elise for oil leaks
Mon, 25 Jul 2011The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has received 17 complaints about an errant oil line in the Lotus Elise, and thus, has opened an investigation. The issue concerns the line on the front right cooler, which, having got loose, sprays oil either on the wheel or inside the engine bay.
This investigation pertains to around 4,400 of the little track-day wonders sold in the 2005 and 2006 model years. There have been no injuries, but one car did leave the road and catch on fire. A NHTSA investigation doesn't mean a full recall has been issued, just that your friends in the fed are looking into the matter.
Race Recap: 2014 Spanish Grand Prix is boom and bust [spoilers]
Mon, 12 May 2014The Spanish Grand Prix's 2.892-mile Circuit de Catalunya is considered a preview for the rest of the season, since it's a combination of long front straight and twisting middle sectors mimic sections from every other Formula One track to follow. After the long break following the flyaway races to open the season, teams and fans have also been looking forward to this race to see if anyone had a realistic hope of catching Mercedes AMG Petronas; Infiniti Red Bull Racing honcho Christian Horner boiled his team's outlook for the season down to the line, "We've got to [beat them in Spain] if we're going to make a championship of it."
If we take that as our starting point then the weekend began as a bust. Lewis Hamilton only just beat Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg for pole, the Brit's final effort getting him 0.178 seconds clear of the German. Daniel Ricciardo, proving Red Bull is at least the best of the rest, took third but did so more than a second behind Hamilton. Valtteri Bottas of Williams lined up fourth, almost 1.5 second behind and Romain Grosjean delivered overdue good news for Lotus by taking fifth on the grid, more than 1.7 seconds behind pole. Kimi Räikkönen in sixth outqualified his Ferrari teammate Fernando Alonso in seventh, but he couldn't be happy about it because the Ferraris were nearly two seconds behind, and Jenson Button in eighth in the McLaren was more than two second behind. Felipe Massa put the second Williams in ninth, and Sebastian Vettel overcame a terrible start to the weekend to make it into Q3, then didn't set a time when his gearbox failed, then got dropped five places to 15th on the grid when the gearbox had to be changed.
When the lights went out, then came the boom...
Lotus C-01 motorcycle rumored to get 200-hp V-twin engine
Sun, 12 Jan 2014Back in June, Lotus announced it was getting into the motorcycle business. Or, we should say, Kodewa and the Holzer Group are getting into the motorcycle business, and have acquired the rights to use the Lotus name. One way or another, we're now receiving word on some of the specs we can expect from the prototype dubbed C-01.
The Lotus motorcycle is being designed by Daniel Simon, the automotive futurist who has penned, among other things, the light-cycles for Tron: Legacy and the livery on the LMP2 racer Kodewa also fields under the Lotus name. So you know it's going to look pretty awesome, but what will make it go?
According to Visor Down, the C-01 is being tested with a V-twin engine sourced from an undisclosed supplier that produces 170 horsepower in stock trim but has been tuned to produce nearly 200 hp in Lotus trim. A pair of prototypes - one with carbon-fiber bodywork and one without - have already undergone several thousand kilometers of testing, and are said to be handling "very well."
