That’s it. Your car is complete! Well done – you have built a car; a real live car; not many people can say
that. If you remembered to put in gearbox and dierential oil, and fill the system with coolant, then a
tentative edge out onto the driveway is in order. You’ll need to pop the wheels on first and lower it from
the axle stands.
Let’s just run through that quickly:
i. Put a wheel on and do the nuts up a few turns by hand (to ensure they do not cross-thread).
ii. Tighten them up the best you can with the wheels o the ground.
iii. Lower the car from the axle stands, front first; taking care that it doesn’t lean back on the axle
stands at the back (a helper might be handy).
iv. Torque the wheel nuts to 65lbft (about 85Nm).
v. That’s it, you’re ready to go!
Take care and good luck with the IVA and registration process.
You will soon be experiencing the sheer pleasure of being a Caterham driver. Once again, enjoy!
