What's the limiter on an F4RT? 6250?

I actually don't know.... I think it's around 6.5k but I'm sure mine revs higher. I'll email Paul at RS Tuning and ask him if he set the limit higher.

I'm sure from driving a friend's 250 that it's around 6250?

possibly, mine has been mapped and definitely revs higher.

Nothing much to report! Been crazy busy work wise.

I'm still alive and looking to purchase some B pillar vinyl covers as mine are looking rough. Will also change the seals on the rear window as they're starting to perish

Ride height has settled after freshening up suspension recently. Have to say I'm happy with the height and performance

Next meet up is on the 14th May at the top of Norfolk. Looking forward to meeting some faces, old and new (and giving the car a spanking)!!

Cheers for now....

What a superb pic of your car Ben. What your next 'big' plan.....gearbox ?

Look forward to seeing you at the fish counter

 

[Big Ben]

Gearbox is the only real "big" job on the horizon Shuv. Other than that I'm going to just enjoy how good she is

Lots of little bits of tinkering as always but relatively inexpensive...

2p slots cars and haddock. What else can a man want?

 

[///M]

GREAT photo mate. Looks glorious. Really glad you're enjoying the new set up. Definitely the best thing you can do to these cars in my opinion.

 

[Jimmy]

Looking really good Ben, the stance is great and that front splitter gives some real aggression to the 197 front end!

 

[Pav]

I'll never get tired of looking at your car Ben...so nice and well balanced...

 

[Big Ben]

Baby's got a new home

Finally got round to putting a new roof on my garage! Got nowhere to store anything now but heyho...!

P.s Don't worry she's not turning into a garage Queen I'll still be out early Sundays for my weekly hoon

Top work Ben.

There's nothing like knowing its tucked away safely at night. Not to mention keeping it dry after a cleaning session

In my single garage i've got a tennis ball on some string hanging down so you know how far to reverse back; and a rubber car mat screwed to the wall to stop the door banging and chipping paintwork.........

Just a thought.

Got some carpet for the wall but love the tennis ball idea. Cheers

Mines a small'ish single garage too. And i've got washing machine, workbench and toolbox at the back....so have to pull in within approx 6 inches to get the car in enough to shut the door !

If yours is empty you might have a bit more space than me. But its a handy reminder either way !

 

[Sean197]

Car looks great Ben.

 

[Pav]

so jealous of your garage..my dad has one in Czech and its priceless..such a handy thing to have...
