I just picked up a FI 2L type 4 and a Jake Raby DTM V2 kit. Apparently the V2 fits these cars much better than the V1.

tires arrived today (Yokohama AVID's 185-60-15)
got a smoothie spare with new spacesaver tire (135-70-15)
new front and rear gas hood struts

this pic is as of a few weeks ago.

This project is coming along quite nicely!

Combine that with the swath of parts i have sitting on my bench - i just need to find time.

I know why you don't have any time to work on your car. You garage is too clean (sign of a dirty mind). Nice car!!!!

Paul - full speed ahead - Good Luck! Hope you can handle the anticipation of driving that bad-boy!

Just came to my attention, is it me or is there alot of speedys in the air?? Cabanaboy ~ nice garage ~

funny - i remember reading a post on here that was something along the lines of "you always go out to the garage just to look at it."

well, i find myself doing something like cooking dinner and going out to look at it while the water is boiling. i'm glad i am not the only one. :)

Excellent!
Yes, my V2 shroud was developed to have more compact height dimensions and that is best with most Spyder and Speedster replicas.

Thanks for the super fast turn around. I am looking forward to this V2 kit.

I'll bet that car will corner like it's on rails-if of course it's on rails.
