2005 Caterham 7 SV Roadsport
Purchased new and fully assembled from Jeff Sloan at British Auto Specialist in Fort Worth, TX (Caterham dealer) in August 2007. This chassis was shipped in early 2005, and was purchased by Jeff from the Nearn family as part of a group of 12 cars right before they sold Caterham Cars to Ansar Ali and his compatriots. It has an Arch frame. Original specification:
Black full paint
Red leather seats, tunnel top
Red interior panels
New SVT Zetec motor with Raceline sump
Lightened flywheel
T-9 5 speed transmission
Kent camshafts
ZF limited slip differential/3.92 final drive
Triple pass aluminum racing radiator
AP racing brake upgrade
British Auto Specialist sump skid plate
4 point racing harnesses
FIA roll bar w/petty strut
Momo quick release steering wheel
Adjustable spring perches
Interior insulation kit
Jet hot ceramic coated exhaust
Heater shut off valve
Full weather gear (heated windscreen, hood, side doors with armrests)
Hood bag
Carbon fiber dash, stone guards, sill protectors
Aero fuel filler cap
Full tonneau cover
Perspex wind deflectors w/bag
Spare wheel and tire
Luggage rack
Indoor car cover
Modifications made since purchase:
Custom engine tune by Ed Senf/Balanced Performance
Adjustable exhaust cam gear
180 degree thermostat
Replaced distributor, spark plug wires with direct coil packs
Upgraded exhaust mounts, added center exhaust mount
CFM Motorsports aluminum DSI manifold lever
Spa catch tank routed in line from PCV valve back to intake
Philips X-Treme Power headlamp bulbs
Mid Atlantic Caterham Serpentine belt reorientation kit
Stack auxiliary gauges (mechanical oil pressure, electric stepper fuel and water temp)
Samco silicone front radiator hoses
Odyssey PC680 battery, billet aluminum hold down, trickle charger
Cold air intake and plexiglass radiator air deflector (relocated battery, no bonnet cut)
3M Clearshield on rear wings and stone guards
Ceramic black Super 7 nosecone badge
Accessories/Spares:
Diablosport Predator ECU programmer w/data logging, fault code reader
Soft Bits for Sevens tunnel bag
Walker St. Clair outdoor half car cover
Removable passenger side cone catcher (mounts under body)
CFM racing oil pump
original distributor and mounting bracket
wiper blades
owners manual
assembly manual
I have also upgraded various small bits and pieces of the car, such as a better quality fuel neck hose, as I saw the need. The car has been autocrossed regularly, and maintained obsessively. Fluids are Mobil 1 5W30 engine oil, Redline MT90 in the transmission, and Redline 75W90 with friction modifier for the differential. I have a complete service history, as well as receipts for all purchases. The odometer reads 15,897 miles as of this post, and is correct. 5 Toyo R1R tires with approx 6/32 remaining tread keep it attached to the ground (well, 4 of them do. The 5th one just kind of hangs around in back). Blemishes are as follows: a paint chip about the size of a pinkie fingernail on the bonnet (due to a paint defect at time of manufacture), minor spider webs on the front wings at the fasteners, and 2 small dings right below the Caterham emblem on the rear valence. The car has always been garaged and covered, and gets wiped down after every use. The car has a Georgia "assembled vehicle" title. If one searches my posts on USA7s and the California Caterham Club, much of the car’s development and history can be seen.
