That live feed camera is great. I wish you hadn't mentioned it, I'm becoming obsessed following this thread.

Love the build but its not a RSR on anyway.. its a gt3 R and its a BIg diffrence.. im building a RSR and know the diffrence

I have bought radiators, and duct for sick moneys at the front and say an R is a almost the same i ridiculus.. a R car is more like a CUP car with some small changes..

the Problem with installing the RSR headlights on the street car is the bi-xenon.

now, if the car had the light weight headlight option (non-xenon) would it make the install easier?

Also, for the rear bumper/exhaust exit issue, would this be how the engine is mounted in RSR vs. street?

Also what about the rear carriers?

RWK should know a thing or two about this:
