Default Photo History of my RS500

Hi guys..........
Aint posted pics of the car for ages, so thought I would post some pics showing my time owning the car.

Steve

1st pictures, not long after I brought the beast back in 2002 with only 28000 miles and 1 owner.







Fitted new Magnex exhaust, gave it a bit of a clean LOL



The cleaning continued, I wanted to show the car



Once you start, you just cant stop, more elbow grease



Nice new 4 spoke was added.......



1st show we did with the 500, Epsom if I remember right. 1st PLACE



Back home on the drive, looking clean, ready for the next show



Engine bay, clean and standard



Mod Number 1.............Genuine BBS wheels 7"x16" front 8"x16" rear







We had done two seasons showing the 500 gaining the Gold Cup in 2003 & 2004.............well chuffed

2005 we decided not to show anymore and just enjoy the shows, so a few more mods were on the cards, it all started with a call from Pete at Spec-R
I will let the pics tell the story.











A few little mods for the inside........



THEN............a little problem, the idle speed control valve, decided to fall apart, this is piston number 4, REBUILD TIME.....



Engine out, new pistons and rad........plus lots more bits and bobs, bloody hell, I had the Bank Manager banging on my door.....LOL





All rebuilt, run in.................now RR set up...........334BHP @ 19 PSI



Back good as new and going a bit quicker.........LOL



Here are a few more pics..........





Well the car was going better, thought I better invest in some of these.
330mm behind 16" wheels..........







Thats it guys, thanks for looking.

Steve
