RSG RPC Mk1 Update Dave and I hope to have the car in Kohi just after Midday.
No one has mentioned attending Playday before 19/7 so we're expecting to have at least a couple of weeks to get fluids, brakes improved etc. If that is not the case please tell us e.g. If you were thinking of taking it to HD on 5/7.
Assuming 19/7 is first up, six of you should be able to get a time in: Chris M, Dave, Doug, Macca, Paul and Sam. No pressure but the fastest recorded time for the car is 1.28.18 on it's existing tyres etc. https://www.race-monitor.com/Results...ode=qualifying . Good results in the one hour race as well

BTW I think there's a split second view of the car is this news piece

Shared drives are on, I guess it is just the car that is entered for a session and as long as it goes out in that it doesn't matter who is driving

Looking for guidance on brake fluid and brake pads.
The seller recommended EBC.
What other fluids are out there that offer good performance but not at top shelf prices?

Car seemed reasonably competitive with el cheapo pads and tyres. Wonder what it could do with a bigger budget and a race driver? Maybe sub 1:25?

Not sure when they changed the engine. Said they thought they had blown a head gasket but turned out to be a water pump losing its impeller blades and overheated. Same as Chris B and Matt G's issue at the enduro. This car is a racer. Doubt they down powered with the new engine. The owner is a blunt type. If he wasn't racing at HD he would be doing fast n furious on the street. Rough and ready.

Need to get that and any proposed tyre change sorted before the board starts otherwise the would/could/should excuses will start appearing. Car seemed reasonably competitive with el cheapo pads and tyres. Wonder what it could do with a bigger budget and a race driver? Maybe sub 1:25?

As my non PC Aussie golfing partners used to say, "it's a Cathy Freeman", an ugly runner, so certainly won't impress when you see it, but it drives well. The benefit of being a race car.
As for the 1.28, if the owners driving was true to his talking, it was running at the ragged edge. Legal hooning.

Only saw that one for the first time last week. At that price it 'seems' outrageous value - $40k, manual S with sports seats. Be hard to find a better base car in NZ for the money - but would still be a $$$ project. Hmmmm, now if I could find someone to buy a well sorted 944....
