Damn thats a tidy little motor! Serious credit due for the end result.

After something like that myself, would luv to build one but just dont have access to garage space!

Brian that is stunning and a credit to you and tam.

I would imagine that it will be as clean as that all time aswell knowing you.

Hopefully get a passenger lap in it some time.

What are the differences and which is the better car? Apologies for asking a dumb question, just curious.

Have a read here .............

Very nice Frank

Marky, might be worth speaking to Paul555Sti (formerly known as SHEEP) as he took the same ones off my old 555. Paul!?

I still have them gus! The car i sitting with gold on one side and white on the other at the moment

I will be keeping a hold of them as i am sill undecided. The gold ones i got need to go for a refurb.

Stunning car !

Did you fit the flaps and splash guards yourself? If so where did you get them from ?

The utter barstewards!!!

Hope you get it back fee!

Fee it might be worth putting a post over on scoobynet just incase it ends up futher afield.

Cheers, I'll start looking into this and boring my wife about it!

CATERHAM ANNOUNCES OFFICIAL PERFORMANCE ARM

Caterham teams up with RS Performance to offer official V8 Sevens

Caterham cars has announced a new official performance arm to offer bespoke V8-engined Sevens.

The company has joined forces with RS Performance to offer an ‘everything is possible’ service to Caterham customers who want truly unique cars.

RS Performance is an exclusive, niche engineering house that has spent 16 years developing the 40-valve, 2.4 litre RS-V8 motor.

It reliably delivers 400bhp in normally aspirated mode, or over 500bhp as a supercharged variant, whilst weighing only 90kg in full running gear.

Matched to the featherweight Seven chassis the V8 delivers a power-to-weight ratio of over 1000bhp per tonne – more than double of a Bugatti Veyron.

The RS Performance badge will sit alongside the established, and soon to be expanded, Ford powered Caterham Seven range.

Caterham said in a statement: ‘This unique partnership will be open to customers looking for the ultimate in exclusivity, and carry a price tag to reflect the tailoring, detail and hand-built craftsmanship that will go into every RS-badged Caterham.’

The first Seven to rollout of RS Performance’s Hertfordshire doors, and which only seven more of this type will be available, is the supercharged ‘Levante’.

With a 12 week waiting time and costing over £115,000, the car boasts a modern interpretation of the Seven’s classic looks, but has a sophisticated electronics package including traction and launch control to help get the power to the floor.

Weight reduction runs throughout the car, from the carbon fibre interior finished with Kevlar seats down to the hosing used on the cooling systems.

Ansar Ali, Caterham Cars managing director, added: ‘Caterham and Russell Savory have a long history, and this seemed a natural progression of that relationship and shared engineering philosophy.’

The car in these vid is the prototype being tested i believe.

My mate looked into getting the engine from this fitted into his s1 elises but at the time it was going to cost about 25k.

Tommy t cut and sammy the chamios will be distressed just looking at that.

Two words

Steer clear.

Higgy

I have a friend who races his lotus elises in the lotus on track series and he took his car there to have some work done and to say he was unimpressed is an understatement.

As acid said, first choice would be L555BAT but it would just sit in the garage so it would be this for a bit weekend fun.

Crackin' pics Paul, Colins stand looked excellent, wish i could have made it down, sounds like a top show

Very good show, much better than anything we get up here.

A short you tube clip from the live show................

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JGHMogb9Iho

Will definately being going back next year and this time we wont be up till 3 am drinking as we missed a couple of hours and ended up rushing trying to see everything.

Yes and even a subaru flag in picture three so the man has taste.

Sorry to hear your news, all the best for the future.

A few more.

The Colin Mcrae tribute stand.

( some of the pictures arent the greatest as it was mobbed so it was hard trying to get a picture without people walking past )

Some of the other cars....

A good show and well worth the five hour drive, the live show was excellent and there was a video tribute to Colin at the start of it. Many of the cars taking part in the live show had Saltire's attached as a mark of respect.

Cheers folks!

Just looking forward to doing the change over now so that I can forget about whats gone and concentrate on modding whats arrived

Good luck with the future plans mate.

You can ride shotgun in the 555 for the Mcrae prodrive run if you want.

lookin good mate.....always liked those wheels....

what you done with the white ones..????

The white ones are back on the car as the gold ones will be going to be refurbed sometime in the future.

The cars definately going up for sale soon Pedro. It would be better if it went with most of the mods on it but I think it's more sensible to strip it first.

I've been thinking about importing one so I'll just wait and see.

Frank glad to hear you got fixed.

Treated the 555 to some speedline wheels, they will be getting refurbed but i stuck them on just to see how they looked. I like the white wheels but always liked the look of the speedlines on the rally cars.

a few before shots.

It's had a makeover with a load of new information and future plans. Clicky linky

Going down to the nec on saturday, look forward to seeing Colin's cars whilst i am there.

Well done Stephen on a job well done.
