My RS Project

[jackT13]

Hi
I take this opportunity to introduce myself, my name is Jack, a 31 year old Frenchman and as crazy as i am passionate
I ordered the 1st French RS which should arrive in January February.
The car will be delivered with all options except the digital system and a little carbon. It will be equipped with the lt5 engine.
do any of you currently have this configuration ?

With my wife we ​​chose a red bodywork with golden wheels.
It is a family project with the father and my wife.
At the moment i am making a car 100% with factory precautions even though i have doubts about the transmission, but it seems a huge debate...

Thank you.
construction went well for you?
I have studied the manual well there is nothing really complicated but you have to be meticulous
yes I must have my wife's agreement for this type of budget and in the end she likes it

no, I created an import company, I chose a euro6 engine, I will undoubtedly make some modifications, in particular to the level of the exhaust to reduce noise and I will present it to the utac to have it validated.
I have the right to 5 attempts and if I do not succeed I should choose the solution of the English immatriculation.
In the meantime, I will have a garage registration which will allow me to circulate freely and legally in France with the vehicle.
Moreover in France by this system we do not pay co2 tax it saves 40 000 €

Hello jackT13, I have ordered a RS that is due to be shipped in December to North Carolina USA. I also ordered most of the options but without the digital dash and some of the carbon fiber. I plan to use a modified LS7 engine and a rebuilt 96.01 trans (there was a limit to the budget that I thought my wife would allow). Mine will be Kawasaki green with gold wheels.

Congratulations to you and great choice of color
It would be great if you're ok to share our assembly experiences. In reality, there is little information about assembly on the WEB outside of the ultima documentation.

hi,
construction is progressing well. we have almost finished the body (we did the prefit ourselves) the chassis is assembled. currently I am waiting for the side chests.
after that we can fix the pods, there is a little bit to do in the passenger compartment and we can finish the engine compartment. the car fits well without major difficulties.
We can finish this summer
