      Starting a car having built it myself feels like a big achievement - ok, I didn’t make the engine but joyous nonetheless

      @@simonbennett3 You didn't build the engine, but you did install it and everything around it, and everything to run it. It's a big deal, you should feel a good sense of accomplishment. Great job man.

    Congrats from Belgium!! That engine note sounds sooo good. Eventough it´s night and day from reality, once my Audi S3 has been payed off i´m going to try to walk in your footsteps! Absolutely in love with the 420R! And i just learned that you can have the sequential box in this... subscribed!

      Thanks Christian - funny I was just looking at a track day at Spa for April 😎 Fingers crossed you get your chance to build/own one, I feel very privileged to have my chance

      @@simonbennett3 never been at Spa, but did Zolder several times. Spa is a highspeed circuit, Zolder is smaller and quite hard for the brakes. If you are going to Spa, let me know! I really want to see a 420 live in action 🤟

      Thanks, I am thinking of going to pick it up from Caterham when it’s all registered which is a perfect video opportunity. Happy that you’re enjoying the journey so far

    My new factory built 420R arrived last week at my residence. It's due to be registered on 1.1.22
    5 speed. I've been in a 620R. The Sadev is not really in its element on normal roads but on the track an entirely different proposition.
    Will be interesting to see if your Titan LSD is a clunky thing behind your bottom!

      They don't put the BMW titan in for sadev it's a Ford unit: caterhamparts.co.uk/differentials/4795-ford-differential-362-with-lsd.html Notwithstanding that I expect a LOT of whining

      @@simonbennett3 You never know it might be quiet. If it does whine you want it to tune out at say 80mph. The noise sort of comes and goes at different speeds I have found on Caterhams.

    How did you manage to get a Sadev sequential with that kit? Didn't think they supply them unless it's a 620?

    • @simonbennett3
      @simonbennett3  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I couldn’t find the sequential on the online configurator for 420R but know that it’s the gearbox used in the motorsport variant. So I just asked the sales guy and he said it’s possible to do. It will make all the difference on the track but could be a bugger on the road!
