We are going down south to NC in September to interview Ohlins Product Manager and do tour and Essex/AP racing. So we should have some nice footage from the Appalachians and Dragon Area.

You would be well suited to try to squeeze in a weekend at VIR while you're down there. I hear the hotel's great.

Love the review, and you are spot on with the track stuff. We keep telling people the Vortech is the way to go and love ours. It's amazing how simple of a car you can build when you pick the right parts which you have done from the brakes, wheels and tires, all the way to the power adder.

Seems real similar to what we do on our cars here.

Thats what happens when you are from the midwest!!

I need to call and talk to you about your car as well maybe hook up since we are close. Would like to see how your build is coming along.
PM me your info when you get time.

VIR is ridiculous!
Good idea, go run some Atoms there at the same time.

Total of 16lbs. Is that not a weight savings, did I somehow not add or account for something?

I was already considering the RPF1 before I saw your review. Now I think I am sold. I also like the way they look which is a plus

Its one of those wheels thats almost fully forged light, quality without the stupid pricetag.

I dont have them but this is what I tell everyone. The RPF1s are like the perfect wheel for an all around car. I went a more aesthetic route but the more I drive the car the more I want to trade my wheels.

I have had expensive wheels and wheels i have loved. These are neither. Just get the job done like you said and are most importantly light.

ZOMG! Zombie thread!

I wanted to ask you if Vortech ever finally came though on any of the parts and development changes you suggested them? Did they every end up reworking the fluid tank, instruction manual or any other suggestions you had brought to them?

Thanks

@Brian@Vortech
@Rick@Vortech

Did your engineers ever update the tank and holes in documentation we talked about?
