Wallace Performance's workshop kinda looks a bit normal after the above - I thought it was swish in terms of workshops

have a google... but they are pretty (very) rare, worth a lot more...
The have a 2.2, different susp, gears, turbo, body etc to UK imprezs... share some bits n bobs with JDM TypeRs. P1 is based on a JDM V5 TypeR.
oh, yes they are wider than a P1/TypeR

arnt surprised theyve got a place like that the amount they charge for stuff, people must be minted to take their cars to RCM.

I have some RCM sourced parts on my car BUT I tend to try and avoid them due to the prices. I'm looking at rotated GT30R kits just now though - and i'm quite tempted just to go for their complete kit rather than having the hassle of bits and bobs from all over not fitting together etc.
My heads were sent there for rebuilding.... they stripped them and quoted... and asked them to ship them elsewhere

Gotta pay for that shiny workshop somehow!
Driven a 22B, good few years ago now. Possibly the fastest accelerating car I've ever driven but I think it maxed out at about 110.

theres so many other places out there doing stuff now though you dont have to go to RCM for anything apart from your pants down they do a good job and their setup is immense but i arnt paying rcm prices
edit: forgot to say, wallace's setup looks great id be happy with that

Wallace looks good whilst still looking usable, RCM looks more like a collectors garage where everything is purely for show and you'd be scared of working in it.

RCM do good work though, so they're allowed to have a shiny shop while they also do use it. The ban on cleanliness is only for rich Americans and that guy off the internet who just store cars that don't break.
RCM looks more flash than Wallace purely because of the bays under the mezzanine floor. I'm after something like that for our new place, properly lit with storage above.

Just look at M Sport, eat your dinner off their workshop floor it's so clean!
RCM's Scooby is amazing as much a race car as a show car.
