Nik, it's been suggested a few times. Usually by Paul. He has a black Fuchs thing going on. I have my Frankenstein D90s to go with the black centre look

No, I wish.

the history I believe is it was imported from HKG.

The car is my cousin's, he brought it, put it into storage, and moved to the UK. pretty boring really.

Im looking at picking up a C4 as my own project in a few weeks time.

fair enough call there, I do get all the hand-me-down parts from the RS to put into the C4.

Agreed Matt, but I think RSG times we quote tend to be 'best ever' possible within our cars (with everything aligned in our favor)

I see no reason why we shouldn't to do the same with race cars as we are not running in a controlled series. Given you can race whatever you like with whatever tyres you like in the Porsche Series, Arrow's etc, we can probably quote the same too, as there are no limits for any of us other than speed bars??

Depends on sizes and options - people race with whatever they can get. Talking to the race committee last night, most said they where running 214's. I can only take the word of the guys there??

Is the F200 the cup car tyre??

The greater reason for the rule change to any tyre is 'inclusion' rather than 'exclusion'. The race committee didn't want people not racing as they had a stash of 'other brand' tyres they couldn't use or because they couldn't get a certain Hankook tyre for their wheel size (i.e. 44 guys running on 16's can't get 221's, so have to use 214's)

Yep. Not fitted yet.

Hey, didn't you have an upholsterer recommend a few hundred pages back? Warwick is keen to sort the interior of his new C4.

I would say in your garage? I can tell you the plate and VIN if you want to confirm?
Do you know any history of the car? Has it ever been raced?

Yeah give me the vin and plate... I'll check it.

I know absolutely nothing about the car... I've only literally worked out how valuable this car is...
