Rmc Questions And My Thoughts
HI everyone,
I recently purchased a 91 build rmc, i have some questions u guys may be able to help with and some thoughts on the overall quality of the rmc.
i think the body is great the finish and fit of the panels, gaps and finish are excellent.
The trim is a pile of rubbish, maybe down to the guy who built rather than rmc.
crappy piece of fiberglass for a dash, mounted with 4 exposed screws.
door trims poor fit and just look cheap and nasty.
crappy vdo guages.
i plan on redoing the complete interior with need dash and door panels.
ive already fitted side pipes, i bought some side pipes from usa and cut up a set of block hugger headers to clear the streering and chassis rails, what i thought would be a 1 day job, turned into a 3 day job, a major pain to get the exhaust out through the chassis to the side pipes.
Ive just fitted 2 x roll hoops , supplied by drb, really helpfull people but very ordinary hoops, it would have been nice if the radius on the bend of both hoops were the same, even more of a pain since i used 1 roll hoop as the template to cut both sets of holes!
Having to weld my own mounts to the hoop is a pain also, especially on the 3rd leg as it has to be cut on a perfect angle to match the body because its mounted to the body , rather than mounted within the boot.
The pedal arangement is terrible aswell, i couldnt even put my foot on the gas pedal without hitting the brake pedal, for someone with big feet it would be even worse, i got the oxy in there an bent the pedal into a better position and now works fine.
Well thats my ramble and thoughts on the rmc, but i have a few questions you guys may be able to help with.
my car is a 351 windsor and top loader, im going to fit a 302 and 5 speed from a ed xr8, but ive taken some measurements and i think i will have bonnet clearance issues, can someone point me in the right direction as to where i can find a wider , taller bolt on scoop
im also assuming my car has a mk2 jag suspension, can someone confirm this please.
ive just ordered some 18 x 10 and 18 x 8 halibrand replicas from the states and ordered 5 x 4.75 stud pattern which im pretty sure is correct.
does anyone know what sort of steering column is used and what sort of steering rack is used, as i want to upgrade the saas wheel to a momo and dont know what boss kit to buy and maybe look at converting to power steer.
i have tried to get this info from rmc but they dont reply to emails or phone calls.
Any advice anyone can offer on the rewiring of the efi 5.0 would be appreciated also.
sorry for the long post, hoping someone has the answers i need.
Thanks Dean
