Default RUF is Home. Psst....Lots'a Pics

Hi Folks,

Finally got my baby home late last night. New/improved version includes Euro front bumper, 3-piece RUF wheels and new tires, RUF steering wheel, RUF aluminum shift ****, factory-spec frame, repaint, and clear bra.

Well, a picture paints a thousand words, so without further adieu.

Enjoy.

Awesome!

What's the purpose of rotating the tach?

David,

Thanks. Specs you mean weight? They are 18" 8.5" front and 10" rear. I don't know the offset measurements, I'll contact Wayne for that.

I love my RUF before but the all black wheels always felt a little awkward to me. It is just too 'gansta' for my personality. These wheels make the car perfect for me.

BTW, still in the mail, but I have RUF door sills coming. In a few weeks, I will have every possible RUF insignia on this car.

Jeff,

The 90 degree tech orientation places red-line at 12 O' clock position. When racing, you keep the revs as close to peak power/torque as you can. This tech orientation allows the driver to see the revs with minimum eye movement away from the road in front.

Here is a better pic of the rotated tech.
