Having not been too complementary re the manual I will follow by saying that once completed you will end up with a fantabulous street cobra.

I make the distinction between street and track because the RMC is close to the heaviest cobra kit available, especially the later twin side rail versions.

Cuz you are from central Queensland Tomcat, . And, besides, aren't you missing some fingers? .

Without trawling around in my hard disk I tend to remember both the RMC and G-force to be approx 50 to 80Kg. heavier than some others.

That's a fair swag to swing around a track. Ya gotta get it moving and stopping which tends to make em not so good a track car.

Be interesting to see what weights the others are.

FAIR COMMENTS, IVE NEVER HAD MINE AROUND A CIRCUIT TRACK, ONLY THE DRAG STRIP AND THE STREET, I THINK ITS MORE ABOUT CAR SET UP AND POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO, MY RMC MIGHT WEIGHT 1190 KG BUT ITS PUMPING IN EXCESS OF 400KW NATURALLY ASPIRATED WHICH EQUATES TO LOW 11 SEC QTRS, MAYBE ONE DAY ILL SEE HOW SHE PERFORMS ON THE TRACK. THOSE C R KITS SEEM TO BE PRETTY HEAVY,

1100 to 1150 seems to be around the mark for a CR with a gen3\4. Rumour has it there is one ford powered one getting around that is 1300kg+.
