Yes thats Shane who is our Irish dealer who posting the same thread on DTDIRL

Not long to go know and you will see them all finished :thumbs:

Thats what I like to hear!!! Will you be competing at any events in Ireland this year?

The reason for the RB's is that we needed over 400BHP and if we used the SR's we would have had to spend a lot of money to get them up to that spec and then we would of had gearbox problems, all we are trying to achive this season is reliability and the RB have proven this over the past few seasons

Cheers
Paul

oh i get it now a lot easier get that power from the rb!
did that car u bought off carpenter not have a RB26DETT!:notworthy:

Cars do look really well by the way nice work :nod:

Hi Paul, Would the extra weight on the RB makes the car a lumber to drift vs the nimble SR? How do you balance out the front heavy bias?

Great write up Paul... I do a lot of pro photography so would love to snap your new lineup of 15's at Silverstone in May

Good luck with the season!!


And there was me thinking last year there's not enough S15's in the competition lol

No it had an SR20DET in it but bought it engine less as we had no use for it and got it a bit cheaper :nod:

No it should not cause us any problems as there has been a lot of them done before and we will soon know at round 1 lol

LOL so am i :nod: dont think we will get any time to test them and they will be straight in to competition out of the box............so fingers crossed

 

[Japspeed]

Here is the car finished from the paint shop and we have painted the carbon bonnet and left the carbon to show, we airbrushed the edges and faded them in to the white..........hope you like it :nod:

Rear view of the car with the BGW

They will be both getting mapped on Tuesday and off for the graphics to be fitted and then its race day on Sat, so a busy week ahead and hopefully they will do the job they were built for :nod:

Will definately have to go down for a look see :thumbs:

Car is looking well, will the three of them be almost identical with different colours on the mirrors / visors (like the BTCC boys do) or will they be different colour schemes?

 

[Japspeed]

Both cars were completly finished the day before the event and considering them straight out the box, they worked very well. Massive thanks to Nathan and Andy for all their hard work and late nights

Just a few tweeks needed for the day and considering Danny or Shane had not driven for 7 months and jumping straight in to a new machine they did quite well. BDC Rd1 we had some teething probs and after a few hours and tweeks they were running well and both performed much better on the Sunday, I was happy with there first outing and we just need to do a few suspension tweeks for the next round and fix the damage that was done with those track blocks as we bent a wheel and hub on Shanes car and a body kit on Dans car. They will all be ready and perfect at Rd2

Will get some track action pics up very shortly
