Dat is sweet. I like subtle and the muscle car-ish hood. I also vote for no stripe on the, but only a tasteful alpha-numeric graphic.

 

^^ The gunmetal would look GREAT. Under stated = bestness, elegant & tuff all at the same time.... Now, what kind of shoes are you going to wear when the car is done? White snake skin? Under statement with a statement?

Looking good, looking good..............

 

Have you installed the lower CF gril?

 

Hi Longboard,

Great looking car.

I have been looking for the front splitter like the one you have, if possible could you let me know where I could get it.

Thanks,
Manuel

 

Fairly certain that is an m7 splitter.

 

Hi Manuel,

Yes it is an M7 splitter. It did warp over time. Back when purchased it their wasn't any options. now you can fin a few. have you checked out Group4autosport.com? They have a nice one.

wait til you see the new one on my car that we helped build
G-4 will be selling them, they are the full race kit

 

I hope it's better than the one you have now. Nice for the street, but not the best for the track. More than 2 turnbuckles for support?

 

you are behind the 8 ball buddy........... those are old pics.....
if you would have come to the dragon you would have seen the new one

 

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo Where's the pic
Dragon-- I'd have to get ear plugs

VIR is far enough

 

I wore ear plugs for 3 days

even though everyone knows I drove the car across country, there are morons out there saying I trailered it to the Dragon........

 

I just got the hardware for the Group 4 splitter (splitter itself isn't here yet, long story I'll tell some other time. Let's just say UPS is a little dyslexic when it comes to packages marked "fragile"...), and it's very robust. Looks more like adjustable endlinks than a turnbuckle. There are a couple of different ways to mount it solidly (Such as running a thin strip of aluminum behind the grill; I'm pretty sure that's what Graham/Track-Toy did).

I've seen pics of the new(er) splitter Jan/Ian/Group 4 are working together on; it looks very promising, a bit more solid of a piece.

Anyway, as much as I'd like to put a splitter on an never worry about it ever again, if you're using a splitter on the track, I kind of think of it like brake pads--it's eventually going to need to be replaced. When this one goes, I'll probably put the one Jan/Group 4 is working on now for the race car.

But if you're excited about the splitter, keep your eyes peeled, they've got some other goodies on the way, can't wait to get my hands on some of that stuff....

 

Thanks for the info !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Longboard and jan,

Thank you for the info, appreciated.
Manuel

 

Manuel,

Have you and your son got your JCW's out on the track?

 

I sure don't see a trailer or a truck for that matter here. This is what it is like to be a community. No bias just appreciation of the automobile, and good ol' x-country cruising. It was pretty fun cruising with you Jan.

 

Thanks
Kinda hard having a trailer on xxx.xx speeds

 

That would have been one hell of a fuel bill too. We were getting in the neighborhood of 30mpg.

 

Nice pic guys.

Where's LB's car?????

What tires do you run on the street Jan?

 

that was on the way home from the Dragon , we stopped to have lunch at Colin's Uncles place outside Nashville area.

LBs been out of the country..........let's get back on topic to his car

 

Jan,

Both cars are all ready for the track with lots of great RMW goodies including your remote meth tune, but....
Unfortunately had a major issue with one of my other cars and a massive truck...and the truck won in the end

It as taken my body and mind awhile to recover but almost like new again. Should be at the track soon, just have to get my ***** back. (hope this won't get me into trouble but it is the truth).

Jan will also be contacting you shortly for a more aggressive remote tune

Longboard sorry for the off topic.
Manuel

 

Thank God you are
Ok!!!
Talk to you soon

 

Atleast following that thing your never gonna be the one to get the ticket.... So which was faster (as if that's a question)?

 

Ya I was in Asia. Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore and Australia in 14 days. And I missed mothers day .

You couldn't pay me enough to drive that far. I might do it in my wife's BMW convert but thats a big might . I told Jan he was crazy driving his car. I would have taken his wife 135I. Crazy fast yet comfortable.

Hey Larry? I thought Group 4 was going to show some new stuff at he Dragon but i can't find anything. Have you seem any pics?
