Nice, my friend has one of those in black, people are divided on his choice of rims, but I think they go well with the trim detail pic
Since the pic he's got coilovers, but screwed the nearside CV joint

Completely missed this reply. Randomly decided to Google the R4 this evening and found the teasing mentions of the RX on your site!

Able to let us know any details at all? I hope it doesn't cost eleventy billion pounds

. Pre built only or will it be sold as a kit?

And more nutty? Lol. Its not like the R4 could be considered a calm beast

.

Are you writing up the development of the RX in the same detail as the R4 anywhere?

Brap brap!

Porsche 996 Targa
320 BHP

226 BHP/Tonne

Rover 75 Estate CDTi (modified engine management)

160bhp
1500kg

106.6bhp / tonne. Oh yeah.

Edit: Looking through the thread, this puts me above most euroboxes and 'daily' cars. Feel insulted.

Future work will take me near the limit of the clutch, known to be about 185-190bhp. That'll then make it between 123 and 126bhp / tonne.

BMW 844Ci Sport / Racing Dynamics.

That's quite a big uplift in power - what has been done to it?
