is ben still running racepace? apparently not

What does Ben owning Racepace have to do with the work that gets done there? (he hasn't owned it for quite some time now)

It's no different now as to what it was before, and Ben is still around anyways, as are all the staff - just a new owner.

Oh and forget about Nizpro - they be closing, if they have not already :P

i was under the impression that ben is no longer working there - if he is still there & a new owner is appointed, well that is no big deal

if he was no longer there then that would be a different place

He is not there 5 days a week - The arrangement in place still see's him down there when required.

Anyway I'm not going into it - every single person that was a customer under Ben, is now a customer under Chris.

Nothing has changed for the people that still use the place and everyone is still perfectly happy with the work far as i understand and business is going well under the new owner.

where is Red R Racing located do they have a website?

They are located in Newcastle, 2 hours north of the Sydney CBD. No website AFAIK, but you can contact him at [email protected].

Paul was also on the forum under the user name Swiper the Fox or better known as DirtGarage.

Cheers,

Ive decieded to get Red R Racing to look after the build and get Croyden to tune it. Visited both these guys last weekend and they are clearly the best option. Will be sending the donor short block up next week to get things started.

That's good to hear that you've decided. You will be happy with both those choices :(

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
