Default My new rs500 track toy

Evening all, well it's been a while and I didn't do a build thread for this one as didnt seem to have the time but been working on this for about a year now since I sold my speedware car and she's nearly finished.


To say I'm over the moon with it would be an understatement. Let me know what you think.

Not got many pics of inside mate as it's not finished but will upload a couple more in a minute.

Mapping wise im not to sure yet. The running gear came out of another car that was all up and running and mapped so shouldn't need it but will get it checked out anyway.

That looks superb, you have put a lot of time and effort into it. Are you going to enter it into Classic Saloon circuit racing series? Did you get any help or advice from Richard at Tremona garage in Southampton?

No plans to do any racing yet but wouldn't say no if the opportunity arose. Funny you should mention Tremona ( I've known Rich for years) as I'm hoping it will be there within the next few weeks just to finish off a few bits and check it all out.

I have known Richard ,Malcolm and Robert ,for more than 20 years. They have always carried out the work on my Saff and they know their stuff. I will have to call in to have a look at your car.
