Ibiza f2 special edition

[Dave_R]

A bit of mechanical work has to go into it to then I see. But like I said already, it looks amazing with them arches.

Where did you get the kit from? Are the arches steel or fibre glass?

 

[WeeJase]

theres a thread(somewhere) rob has done covering his progress.but from memory they are plastic wings.and he's always cagey where he gets stuff from.

 

[RobT]

This is not a 'kit'. The wings are high quality fibreglass and take a lot of fettling to get em to fit - but I will be getting moulds made at some point to make my own (I have a second set of panels now bought specifically for this purpose), ideally in kevlar for strength but once I have moulds then any fabric will be possible, glass, kevlar or carbon.

and he's always cagey where he gets stuff from.

Thats because I dont want muppets who want stuff for max power cars calling my contacts up and messing relationships up - many of the people stuff comes from are high level racers, national and euro champs, and they do not suffer fools.

I's got a big stereo - where do I.....

The RSD car had metal front wings which surprised me - I was expecting fibreglass.

 

[ibizacupra]

not available tho sadly... one offs - maybe legacy of SBG and aquired?

Rob one of the street elim boys runs a composite company specialising in kevlar

making us a whole bodyshell in it hopefully next year

an old p/shop lol



if you need anything doing give us a shout - top bloke

 

[RobT]

thats well handy to know m8 - be useful if you could get me a guide price on cost for moulds for front and rear wings and then cost per unit for kevlar

cheers

Ex-Cupra Sport Ltd spares from the BRC Rally Campaign undoubtedly, given the connections between RSD and Cupra Sport Ltd - either been bought back off the receivers of Cupra Sport Ltd as surplus stock, or, err not presented to the receivers in the first place

 

[WeeJase]

danny(RSD) was SBG was he not?or part of,and they prepped all the f2's in the UK.

 

[Chris Eyre]

Correct!

 

[m0rk]

Or....

he was an employee, who prepped the recce cars.

The rally cars were built in Spain - and they had Rally mech's to maintain them.

not quite the story i was told when i was down there,but thats people for you

 

[Chris Eyre]

They were deffo built in Spain, but ongoing maintenance, mechanical and bodywork issues were UK jobs, so spare panels would have been required here...

 

[m0rk]

But when SBG went bust, none of the bits should have been retained.....

 

[Chris Eyre]

Sure - parts would be sold off, cars, spares packages etc.

 

[surcalation]

the RSD one was built from panels from the original motorshow example car which were metal.

afaik he was gonna sell the kit after taking moulds, but I haven't heard anything since before it was finished.

So who knows!

And why can't modified car owners have wide arch kits. Bit snobbish if you ask me!
