Anybody get an RS yet?
Discussion
After some unnecessary US 'logistics' delivery drama, mine finally arrived!
Gotta give kudos to Richard and Team Ultima for carrying on during these trying times and getting this thing delivered. All the good I've ever heard about Ultima was true. Cannot thank them enough! And the car looks insane in person. Absolutely brilliant across the board.

I presume you virtually need to be an experienced mechanic to be able to build these motors??
No. I normally suggest that general DIY skills are more relevant.If you build to a Factory spec. pretty much all of the engineering has been designed into the kit. As soon as you start going your own way you will need both design and mechanical skills.

Thanks for this. How many hours do they estimate? Is it frustrating or theraputic... If you build to a Factory spec. pretty much all of the engineering has been designed into the kit. As soon as you start going your own way you will need both design and mechanical skills.

Edit to add

Hours to completion probably varies greatly depending on the model, options, engine and your skill level. I heard 400 hours somewhere once but that seems fantastically optimistic. If I ever build a second one I could probably cut my time in half. So far, totally therapeutic. You know that feeling you get when you put a shiny new part on a car? Its kinda like that over and over and over again.
