Graham0127 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Just been out for a ride locally.....about 2 miles up the road I visited a WW1 airfield, the last remaining one......fantastic little place. Anyway.....on the site is a small unit in which 3 seven type cars were being built. One duratec ,one a V6 and the other a V8. Astonishing cars, the two v engines are their own design/castings. The v6 has been built to produce up to 600 hp.....didn't dare ask about the V8. The quality of the builds was by far the best I have ever seen and if you like a carbon fix then this is the place ! The business is run by Russ Savory......RSPerformance. Think this could be the place for future club meets...will speek to my AO...bet he knows it ! Can't believe it's only walking distance from my house....I'll be there Sunday......set breakfast in the mess looks too good to miss........worth the drive out for all members..REALLY! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Yep, the originator of the mental anniversary(?) Caterham Levantes, which were/are, IIRC done originally as V8's and then V6"s - weren't they one of the "two halves of a bike engine stuck together jobs?"

Dibby Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 His RST V8 engine is something really quite special. If I won the lottery .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Yep, there are You Tube clips of Russ's monster Caterham in action on airfields - possibly that one? Awesome piece of kit. Absolutely mental... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
