Maybe pointing towards 30/37 ??


I don't know myself at this stage mate.
With RCM you just let them get on with it. When you collect the car, your paperwork will tell you everything.

It's difficult for me to provide you with all the tech at this stage because Olly will ask you exactly what your aiming at, and they will build the car to suit.
Suspension / Brakes etc I know more about beforehand, but regarding engine build and new products it all becomes available when finished.

Regarding bhp ?

Marty has an insane P1. He informed me that RCM said it was the quickest road legal car they had done to date. Marty also mentioned that my car would be exactly the same regarding performance.

Reasonably so Clive - but it was just the front spoiler and splitter, plus the driver's door where I had a bit of "Biker rash" . As a result, you can see the difference in colour to some extent - not surprising with 8 year old bodywork - and I may well get the rest of it done at some point. Having said that compared to the half hanging off and scuffed to boogery old spoiler it looks a lot better.

That's what RCM were aiming at Rich. They know I use it as my everyday car so the clutch set up needed to be easy to live with.
Olly told me it would feel more like a regular clutch with the hydraulic release bearing fitted.

The clutch is easy to live with and has no judder ,all i can say is you will have to get used to it as the bite is very short .
If you sit in traffic for a while and the car gets warm it does not like it much.
People give me strange looks at the traffic lights as the clutch makes strange noises .

RCM's decision Stealth. Based on our initial discussion.
What is the modification that results in the 2.1..?
I know that the pistons would have been different if race fuel was going to be used. I think they are still RCM Omega h/c but the top 5mm is modified to a different angle and may be larger??? not sure.
Marti can answer this one as I am sure he is 2.1

To get the 2.1cc ,RCM fitted a different crank ,bearings and conrods,i think my pistons are low compression as they built my engine for drag racing ,dont drive it on the road much.
Also had a few bits fitted so i can run nitrous without the engine coming apart again ,stronger wrc crank,bearings wrc ,extreme conrods and nitrous pin

did you mean Stealthy.

Matt builds many different configurations of engine depending on what the customer wants.
It's not a case of where all RCM engines start with the same basic design.
Matt has mentioned to me on several occasions that our two engines (mine & Marti's)are very similar and of the same "type".

When I read the spec of other cars modified at RCM, many of the cars have totally different components throughout the engine, and totally different set ups.
There does not seem to be a "pattern".
