We've got some big strong men coming in next week to upgrade our rolling road in the hope that it'll hold up under the power of your car next month

So we're going to stay on the economical map for this year are we, then crank up to the 1,200bhp+ map for next season? Wise..just enough time to scrub those tires in

Re: My RS1800 Track car.
Yeah seen those thanks fella, I think I will get some front and rears made eventually
So not as big an update as I had hoped for, but anyway more progress
Carbon roof has been promised to us for this week,
Private plate paper work should be with me this week as they have cashed the cheque over a week ago
Super Ts are on and look good
New lower arms fitted today prooved to be a pain but I got there in the end.
I'm buying Luke's Pro-Alloy fuel cell so that should be fitted in place
hopefully before Combe in April
Got my blue Willans harnesses now and they look so much better than the red ones
Launch control is waiting to go on as well
few pictures from today, managed to drive the car to the local beauty spot,
Oh and one of my plate

Re: My RS1800 Track car, update
Those wheels look amzing mate in that colour never been a great fan of them but THEY ARE WICKED
Definalty keep thm that colour too.
Ride height looks spot on to mate, another productive weekend, we can swap the fuel cell over when i deliver the roof or something next week.

Re: My RS1800 Track car, update
Thanks guys, I had to chop the arches a fair bit to get the wheels to fit and not foul at that height
Luke, I'm starting to get the look I'm after on it mate
Jon, I just won a set of smoked lights off of e-bay which I will be fitting, If I don't like the look of them I will get some Euros
Spinx, Yeah car is coming along tomorrow
Tom, I straight swapped the harnesses fella and
local company powdercoated the wheels for £35 each.
Still got the small battery/ front polycarbs to fit, which I will be hopefully doing next week.

they look spot on, wish I put 195's on my 7x16's now instead of 205's (therefore I can get it lower on some coilovers too )

Re: My RS1800 Track car, update
Same colour scheme as the Scimiter mate
I will post it up in gen disc this week so everybody can have a look
Well today I have mainly grinding my arches out further so the tyres don't rub off the 16s
After driving the car for 100 odd miles yesterday, I knew I had to take more of them out
Now I'm fairly confident they won't rub, took front arch liners out and trimmed them, very little rust on the inner arches which was good news.
Took rear bumper off and again very little corrosion was present,
After the fuel tank is removed she will be treated to a very thorough de-rust and Waxoyl
Plans for later this year will include full respray in Pacifica (less carbon roof & bonnet )

Cheers mate, good to see you again yesterday
just under 4 months atm, which isn't bad really, I wish I could go full time on it
Pacifica is stunning when polished up lost at least another 2kg today
I cleared out the mud from bottom of the front wings
