Any updates on your project ?

Im flattered ! This is the most impressive RST i have seen, i have been thinking for a long time to mod my RST as you did but i didnt have the igniter to do it... Now i have to do it, i cant stop thinking about it...

This is the reason i joined this discussion board !

Please post some pics on the boot space, how does the engine leave space for the driver and co driver, is it possible to fit the standart seats ? Do you have any pics from under the car ? Could you post more detail on how the front rails were mounted inside the car ? How did you set your suspension geometry ?

What is the current weight distribution w/ the tank full and empty, does the car understeer ?

did you have any problems with bleeding the coolant system ?

Thanks a lot,


Tomas
