Hey Jack, look out!:D

Very Nice...!!

:cool:

I know. It looks like my car, but with all the girly-man creature comforts like leather, carpet and air conditioning gone. I like it!

What width are those wheels? The fronts, especially, look DEEP!

That looks like a lot of fun!
Like a real RSR except now you are not short a couple hundred thousand.:)

Thanks Guys!
Jack there 17x11s and 9.5s with 315-35s and 255-40s with A032r Yokohama tires.

Wow!

Maybe my new favorite on the board. What motor is that?

Beautiful job.

Wow, this things sweet.

Thanks!

The engine is a 3.6 from 92 RS America. I have chipped it and putting on set headers with Supertraps that will come out at just below the bumper guards. It will end up with the 265ish hp and 230ish TQ at the wheels. Thats better than the orginal 2.8L.
It will weight 2000 at most. :D
I Can't wait to get it out and play. Street, autox or the track it will be a blast.
Maybe even run a little white lightning up there in these hills.
Ye-Haw!!
I do plan on take it to a section of road about 20 min. awa.
It's called the Dragon and its the first place I will take it.
Its 318 turns in 11 miles up in the Smokey mountains.
There's a link to the Dragon check it out. It's the SHIZZLE :cool: http://tailofthedragon.com/

I did a post on it back in the middle of Dec. It was a poll on what engine you would use.
Here's the thread. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=197059&highlight=what+e ngine+to+use+in+rsr

Fantastic!! Great job!!

Are there multiple lips on those wheels?

-Wayne

Those are the Lindsey Racing wheels. They use barrels that come up enough in the middle to meet the 6x16 Fuchs centers. (I think they're Corvette barrels.)

They only have one step. Its a optical illusion due to the polished section on the center. I had Mike make them that way, because I was trying to make that 17" wheel look smaller in dia., and it makes them look like there really DEEP.
I really like the way they came out.

Well we rolled out the car from the restoration shop to the service shop today. There it will get wired and the fuel and suspension set up. It should be running in the next couple of weeks. I will keep yawl updated better and take mo pics.
