Road Runner SR2 Build
Hi everyone, I thought I would make a build diary of my car... and try to keep it up to date!
I recently sold my Sylva Striker early this year to fund my new build, After a lot of searching on the internet, spending weekends at different shows,
going to different track day events organised by manufactures I’ve decided to build a new seven:
Road Runner SR2
I decided to go the Road Runner route as I’d done quite a lot of 'shopping around', I knew in my head what I wanted.... I did originally
think it was the Raw Striker but after having a good look around the SR2 at Stoneleigh 2011, I realised this was the car..... The chassis, the body,
everything, I loved it!
I then went to some track day events with Mike from Road Runner (a very nice man) ;-) who let me have a go in his demo car, straight away his car felt
so much more 'positive' than mine, (I did have a pretty well set up car) his car quite happily stayed out on track all day long taking
abuse after abuse.... every time I used it I liked it more and more!
A few months ago I put in my order for a kit :-)

I have since made the journey to the Road Runner factory to look how progress is doing... all is well, everything is moving quickly. I was always made
welcome by Mike and his staff! which is nice.
Mike has really helped me out with ALOT of things through out the order of the kit (thanks Mike), I'm going to go with the new pushrod front
suspension set up Road Runner are offering as i love the look of it and I'm planning to make the car quite track focused.

I thought for a moment
"Bloody hell that's a massive chassis"
Then I realised its the manufacturers chassis jig
Doh

If anybody is interested in the build I'v put it on pistonheads under 'Kit Cars'
