Na I thought we would go the sensible route and get tyres first, That way we can make sure the wheels fit and if not send them back & re-order


Daz I rung to order wheels but they only do the 18" Team Dynamics Pro1.5 in 8.5 & 9.0.?
No 9.5 ?

18x9 with a 255 works nicely, certainly worth considering.

Replied to Olly's mail tonight. Just asked him to look for a 3.9 R180 rear diff and a six speed gearbox cradle. I'm keeping an eye out too.

No VHT yet either.

Waiting.......... I know what you are going through and the best advise I can give you is try to forget about your car. The more you think about it the worse it will become. What I can assure you of is the end result, and mate that will be a special day for you !!
This time round it's no problem for me because I have P1.

You will get all the crap that I went through fella,about £'s and how much it costs but just ignore them. Not ONE of the comments would have come from a guy that has driven a major RCM build. They are referring to something they no nothing about.

The chances are you will take it on the strip or on track, then you hear the next words of wisdom circulating. A phrase that is very common in the Subaru world is "the car would be quick in the hands of a (proper driver)" which would prove correct in some instances, but not here.

Ignore that one too, as it's the biggest load of boll***s you will ever hear, because very few (if any) would have any experience of driving a (big budget) car built within the RCM stable.
Unless your name is Olly Clark, Matt Clark, Chris Butler, Halldor Jonsson, MartiP1,Skullfudge & possibly a couple more, they have no experience.
Big budget RCM cars can be counted on one hand and are expensive for a reason and the reason becomes very evident when driving them.



Quoted from Daz Davies:
"I've told you, you're getting a metal straight edge wrapped round your knuckles if you dont drive it properly!!"

Ohii Trappy, just shut it Lips, & get the fookin thing built, then I can show you. (I love him really)


Good advice Clive as always, will have to catch up with all you guys next year when my car is fully up and running.


Will keep reading up on progress

Popped up RCM today & collected these.

Cheers for the coffee Shaky (big power mate in the P1 club) :thumbup1:


Shaky's a nice guy, While at RCM I received a text from Mr Shaky " Alright matey, pop around a a cuppa if u want"

So I did, and when I walked in I was greeted with

Shaky " alright mate, got the P1 outside?"

Me "No, came up in a van"

Shaky " Daaawwwww if I would have known that I would not of sent the text" !!

Makes a change for you to be taking pictures of parts in your kitchen instead of me in mine.
