Default Cup S (my way)

So a couple years back I had a brief encounter with a wall, and decided to rebuild rather than part out the good parts.
At the time RSR body parts were on lock down so I decided to mimic the next best thing. The Cup S
The following is my quest in building the best Club car possible, please excuse the photography but you will at least get the jest of what we did.

So first we started out with the Rolex Series winning car from Farnbacher, strip and send to the body shop:

With lots of parts from the donor cars, we started to put her back together, added a little bling in the engine compartment for good measures.

Finally she was ready for the heart. Put a RSR throttle body, RSR light weight alternator, water pump, and add custom long tube headers and exhaust.

As with any high maintenance gal, her shoes are RSR size with the only three sets of center lock BBS wheels that fit the endure Brembo Grand Am brakes.

She has Racing ABS to help you when you want to stop in a hurry and NOT flatspot your slicks.

Yes thats a built H pattern box, much easier to toole around with during club events.

Now if all of the above wasn't trick enough, we spliced into the Motorsports Stock wiring harness the to run a street built 3.8 motor controlled by a Motec ECU AND have the ability to swap out a stock cup motor/tranny/ECU and not have any wiring, only plug and play!!

Data collected via an ADL3, JRZ's, premier fuel cell, lexan glass all around, halon fire suppression, Carbon Fibre everything, doors, fenders, inner fender liners, roof, bumpers, WC uprights,Cup S rear wing, custom endplates, the list goes on and on and on.

She weighs in a tad over 2,500 lbs dry.

Hope you enjoyed, it was a lot of fun, but I don't think I will do it again!

Dave,

Nicely done, I've watched that thing get built, and its really a beautiful build. Doug is probably going through withdrawls once it left the shop. Can't wait to see it run...
