forgot all about till just seen a white wide arch gt goin from crewe up towards sandbach down haslington bypass ?
This was taken at Oulton Park Nov 2011, is this the one?
yeah defo the same kit as tht do u no the guy who owns it ?
I dont think i got to speak/meet the guy on the day? it just sort of appeared from no where while i was out on track.
its a mytery may of just been passin through lol
Uhmm kinda of... I chatted to him after I took the pic, he had a BIG Taz in the back hanging off the roll cage. I think he was at ND too but not 100%. I am sure this car has been on ebay recently too. He's a northan lad.Originally Posted by azzturbo1.7
havnt seen the car since anyway but could be anywhere u never no
Looks like its one of soapy mechs body kits from the front arches back ?
that car used to be in west london as i used to repair it alot for some chavhe bought everthing under the bonnet from gay-tec, thats the trophy wide arch kit the car used to be blue in colour before it was white and before it was blue it was orange, it has a nice roll cage its an early sparco or devil cage and has turbo2 wheels useless information i known
quite like tht tbh
I am sure the kit is for sale... Send soapy mechs a PM (who I can't find on the members list!) and he'll give you the details, I'd advise getting the rims first
i wudnt ever have a 5 like tht tho look better oe and would probably cost a fortune getting it like tht
Wow iv never seen that car romil do you have other pics?
There's no denying the kit is a big commitment and I'd applaud anyone wishing to take it on. It's not to everyones taste but I didn't join rtoc to be the same as everybody else if I wanted oe I could have done it twice over by now. The kit is availible from me. The wheels can be sorted pretty easily....
Last time I saw that it was blue. Was a mess in all honesty and broke down a lot.
I can't believe it still has the giant taz in the back.
I could be wrong but some White trophy kit panels turned up on eBay a while back could this have been scraped? Iv never seen it or any others apart from Bruces.
the bonnet was on this one to start with
That's not the shade of blue I saw it in.
It was a pastel blue like on the M3.
I take it those pics are as old as they look?
I recall him saying he had it painted but it was a while ago.
Love the wide arch look when it's done right Reminds me of the oval racing hot rods
about 12 years ago maybe even closer to 13/14 years now
Hope he never needs to take the front bumper off though, what a ball ache lol
yes indeed dave longhursts starlet had them arches too

I have never really found it a problem,the only thing there is the intercooler and that slots out fine. You don't need to join everything up like I have ,so the parts can be removed if needed. For me joining the kit makes alot of difference to the final product.Hope he never needs to take the front bumper off though, what a ball ache lol
Bruce the old club president had a blue one with the same kit as soapys... Hmmm what happens to it
Pic of his
Front wheel off at 70mph
i work with a guy who has a national hot rod, peuogeot 206 space frame with a 7000 grand redtop engine built by exon and he doesnt even dare race with the national hot rod boy lol
The front wheel or the carFront wheel off at 70mph
The car, thanks chrisThe front wheel or the car
did it not have a small crash at mallory park some time at a national day as well,im pretty sure the rear bumper was hanging off.......i may be wrong though......was not a bad looking car i remembered it looked very diffrentFront wheel off at 70mph
thats it those were the days mate
Not sure maybe before my time, I do know it was fitted with a Volvo lump and was quick. It was a very good example and Bruce was very patient when putting it together, dont know of another 5 with a military grade wiring loom
Volvo? Thought bruce put a 2.0 Megane lump in it after initially building the car with a fully chromed engine c1j.Not sure maybe before my time, I do know it was fitted with a Volvo lump and was quick.

But anything Bruce drove was very quick he was loco behind the wheel
Especially when forgetting certain little pipes and boosting to 60 odd psi for one lap, beating all the cossies... But only 1 lapVolvo? Thought bruce put a 2.0 Megane lump in it after initially building the car with a fully chromed engine c1j.

The rear tyre slid of the wheel going round devils elbow. Didn't crash it though but barrier came close. Was in the passenger seat at the time
