Premier Power F175 thoughts, reliability

[Wayne95]

Hi,
I am looking for a Caterham with the following spec

Yellow or Orange
SV with lowered floors
Leather seats
Sigma, or maybe duratec but they are pushing the price a bit.

Other option parts I'm happy to change as needed, but need these basics as a starting point...

I have seen a 2010 with the premier power upgrade to 175hp, but its got 45k miles, 35k since the upgrade. On the PT Sports website

I don't mind higher mileage if its been looked after, but is a more highly tuned engine likely to let go at some point? I heard quite good things about Premier, but I looked on their website and they are no longer doing builds, is this an issue for support should I need it?

Its my first Caterham, so thought 150hp will be enough, but this one looked great otherwise.

Any experience of the engine upgrades would be great

Thx
Wayne

Its my understanding that northampton motorsport can do what premier power did (or similar). they used to map the PP cars anyway.

Thanks for that - useful information. I’ll give them a call to discuss the mods done by PP and see if they can look after it for me.
