Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118

It took literally 15-20 minutes to do, on the kitchen work surface! :evil: haha!
Hoping I can get in for mapping at RS Tuning the following week, all being well. So it will be nice to see how the car feels and performs when completed. :)...
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
I'll hopefully have a look at yours on Monday. Did you go with the Forge pipes in the end, or the SFS ones? :)
As you've said, the gearbox is about the only thing left that could be causing it! Nightmare!
LOL! :approve:
Being a...
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
Also, unrelated to performance, but a while ago Tom mentioned that the carbon section of the RS2 could be polished up with a DA if desired.
As I had some free time this morning, I thought I'd give this a shot.
I used Menzerna super...
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
It's a difficult one to predict really, as I can't think of many cars running an RS2 with uprated cams. I'm hoping they will compliment each other nicely.
Although it would be nice to pull impressive figures, as long as it drives and...
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
I'm intrigued to see how the RS2 performs alongside the 428's :)
Hopefully the combination will be a success!
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
You don't have the modify the slam panel, it fits in perfectly without any cutting/moving :)
I just like the neatness and look of running aerocatches without the slam panel.
Hmm that wobble's turning into a bit of nightmare! What's...
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
Really like it. I find it to be the perfect size! :D
Brilliant value too.
As Chris said, it's booked in at JMS on the 18th July. So about 2 weeks time.
Hoping to get the RS Tuning for mapping the same week, or the following week...
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
I initially ordered them before reading some of the 'horror stories' regarding them on here (leaking, etc); I had a Ford previously where they were highly recommended, so based my choice on that.
After seeing some of the comments on here...
The way I understand it (and my expectations of the RS2) is that it's more about the drivability and the difference in power delivery.
The comments coming from the first completed group buy customers sound very promising. :)
No drilling required iirc. The additional mount bolts to pre-existing holes, I believe. :)
Pretty sure there's a picture and description on the btb stealth website.
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
I've decided to run aerocatches. There's a couple of reasons; my car never had the bonnet catch recall done and they look cool. :evil:
Once they're on, I think the slam panel may go.
I'm hoping to get a few replacement bits ordered from...
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
They're the right size, yeah :)
I bought the same size, head, taper, etc...but they were listed for a BMW. Same thing though. :)
