RoadRunner Racing SR2 V8 - Circa 450BHP / 400lb/ft

Fantastic Corvette-Engined SR2 V8
The car was completed and passed IVA in June 2014, which was the time I bought it from the builder. The car has been built by a very experienced builder (having previously built a number of rave bikes, cars and an Ultima GTR) to a very high standard and I would welcome any professional inspection.

Specification includes:
• Tilton Pedal Box with Brake Bias Adjuster
• LS2 Engine (standard) with OE GM ECU
• Custom headers, mandrel bent 2” and CAM Coated
• Exhausts are custom with new CATS from a Mercedes SL500 (for IVA).
• High end fuel delivery system.
• Full genuine carbon fibre Tillet seats on sliding seat rails. Super comfortable, very strong. These were just over £1k each!
• Full FIA roll cage.
• Front Hi Spec brakes
• Image Wheels
• Advanced and simple electrics controller – all switches are soft touch LED – very stylish and reliable.
• LED headlights and Tail lights
• Tremec top of the range TR6060 6 speed gearbox with OE Hydraulic clutch.
• The Gearbox and Clutch were made for this engine, so none of the usual clutch issues.
• Stack high end Gauges and an HM Graphical logging Dash for main driver display with shift LEDs
• Multi Adjustable inboard suspension.
• Pro Alloy custom made cooling system for long term hassle free running regardless of ambient temperatures or hard driving – something that MOST kit cars skimp on and causes all sorts of problems later.
• Carbon from and rear wheel arches, Carbon tunnel, Carbon Dash.
• Quick release steering wheel.
• All wheels have traction control sensors and pickups installed and wired so implementation of TC in the future if desired will be painless and relatively simple.


A truly great specification, without doubt, but the car isn’t perfect and requires the following for completion:

The HM Dash needs to be calibrated for gear-shifts and Odometer. Odometer reads 0 miles and I’ve covered approximately 1000miles since purchase.

Some of the carbon parts show a 'mistyness'
The carbon rear arches have a slight gravel rash
New ECU needs to be mapped



Build cost was over £32,000, but whilst the estimated value from RRR is £24,995, I have set the price at a realistic level due to the points above needing to be resolved, as well as a quick sale.

So, a good home required for a truly unique car!
No tyre-kickers, dreamers or time-wasters! No test drive without original-copy of proof of fully comprehensive insurance to cover.
Trailer delivery available within a reasonable distance of Colchester, Essex.

£20,995 ono

Ah!
Good reason for no pics is that i'm a technophobe and haven't worked out how to post pictures!
There's a link at the top which does show some

Yep, on the Pistonheads advert - no pics of the main attraction, 6.0 litres of V8. Sounds mental!
