Update sent from Sam on T/B's

i spaced them out and sorted the linkages out so all butterfly open together all in their new posistions and sorted a throttle cable bracket for the rs, duno if it'll be ok, should think so, but if not, when it comes to putting them on we can refab something





just a pic looking through from the engine side....



pretty much done now, just a few more bits need doing, and need to give them a good clean. The runners wont be this long though, cuz for starters it wont fit in the bay this long lol :laugh: and i think shorter runners are gunna be more suited to kevs engine anyway
hope you like em

If 'you' like it mate, put it on, dont be swayed what anyone else says...

A LOT of people will hate my wheels... But I really dont care, i'm building the car for me and no one else.

Good project, coming on

Good news on the rack! Any pics of it? Mine looks like the works Esc Cos racks, so be interested if yours is the same.

Did the yellow RS2000 not have any Grp A suspension on it?

Just looks like a standerd PAS rack iirc with I think two more external pipes as it runs with a cooler in the from the front set up which is a water/oil and PAS cooler combined

No didnt have GrpA set up it had Billstiens (sp) coil overs on it, Ive had Marco look at um and he says there top noch kit so I'll be runing on those for now untill I can get another set up for it

Some of them had the spoiler on the roof

whats happening with the side skirts?
