[Nick172Cup]

Havent posted any pictures for a while, got a few more modifications to it now! Enjoy!

194.3bhp/158lbft torque in its current state and weighing in at just over 950kg with half a tank of fuel on board and the cage. :evil:

Cheers also to MattH off here for taking the pictures, very happy with them indeed!

[Jimbo_M]

That looks awesome, bet it shifts aswell. Cool pics dude

 

[JoeyD]

Stunning!

 

[ForceIndia]

I don't get it. Looks great, brilliant engine spec etc. Then Vmaxx???? Mental.

Edit: Just saw future plans. KW V2's. The end.

 

[st3ve]

Brilliant pics.

Needs to come down a bit more though, looks like a 4x4 at that height.

Other than that, perfect.

 

[Dean Mac]

Wow im well impressed, that first photo, in fact all the photos are awesome love it mate, exactly what i want in the future

 

[Sir_Dave]

Brilliant pics.

Needs to come down a bit more though, looks like a 4x4 at that height.

Other than that, perfect.

Its setup to handle.

For some, thats more important than looking like a ponce

 

[Ben_197]

Lovley car. Hats off to the photographer aswell. Them pics are awsume as sh*t

Yep calm down dear... Believe it or not the Vmaxx's havent been too bad, the rears were a bit too soft for my liking hence the stiffer AST springs and the whiteline. Has made for some enjoyable driving which is what it is all about when it comes to trackdays I believe. Only reason for really upgrading is then I have scope for stiffer setups if/when I decide its worth doing something a bit more competative, that wont be for some time as I havent done all the big UK circuits yet.

Brilliant pics.

Pretty much what Dave has said, the car handled appaulingly when it was really low. Handles pretty well now and isn't too savage to drive on the road, as you can tell this car really isn't for show and shine/euro scenes, the pictures really do flatter the car! lol

Its setup to handle.

[ForceIndia]

Can't argue with the ride height, mine was similar.

 

[Scott™]

Looks very nice.

 

[oliver.james]

Awesome!

 

[Chris205]

love it. Any vids of it on the go I'm interested to see the performance increases with the jms inlet

 

[Nick172Cup]

There is a video somewhere of a few fly-bys, but no racing! Best thing to do is if your at a trackday when I am, jump in my car and i'll take anyone out for a spin to show the difference in having the JMS RS-2.

 

[nick.]

looks great. future plans should make it even better

 

[Rich_172]

awesome

 

[Dave.]

brilliant, perfect mate!

I have the same wheels sat waiting for some rubber! need to drop mine a bit first tho!

 

[chrispy.clio]

The car is looking great, shame the cage is a dash doger. But other than that it looks great.

Do you know what spring rates the rear springs you have are?

 

[Matt Cup]

Great shots! If only mine could look half as good as this one... Love it :approve:

 

[Wests Renault]

very nice - you got the cage fitted OK then mate?

Not sure on the springs rates, pretty stiff though there isnt a lot of weight over the rear wheels! Really want a full weld in jobby like yours, that is the cage i'll be going for when funds permit!

very nice - you got the cage fitted OK then mate?

Nah still not fitted 100%, needs a lot of work doing to make it fit properly. Going to weigh up whether its worth modifying this cage or buying a full weld in as its pretty much a flatpack.
