I'm glad to see a build thread after all these years following the Apex saga

Any update on this? how many APEX were sold? Fran was offering a pretty sweet deal for the first 10 I believe. Please keep this thread alive. I have not given up on this project yet, I still have a fully built 4g63 long block with about 8k$ in it waiting in my garage.

1 month without a single post...sad record to break. Still playing with my DSM hoping to get any news on the APEX

If its not a RCR Product I'm out... Sorry. I love the APEX and I just purchased an awesome partial donor, but RCR is the only component car Cie I would trust with my money...

Easiest fix for your clutch need is to call Tim @ TMZ. I pers have the Southbend ceramic clutch with the act chromo FW and love the combo, very street friendly.

^^ Quite impressive, I knew the stock bottom end was robust but 500 WHP robust:thumbsup:

Welcome to the madness Dave!

4 days + no post = too long

^ I like no 1 the most, followed by no 4 (bot right)

With a well prepped head with aftermarket valve train 9k is very easy... On my setup I have the redline set at 8750 for good measures. The main issue when you rev that high becomes having to much oil stuck in the head and not enough left to lubricate your bearings. Here's a nice write up on...

Mr. Wolf your absolutely right, my understanding is that it has a significant effect when you considerably change the offset up front (you shouldn't have bump steer in back...). I was assuming you were going for the deep dish wheels on all 4.

For the record, I really like those deep dish wheels and widen fenders on your vette pic...

From my limited suspension geometry knowledge, changing your offset to get that more aggressive look will potentially increase your scrub radius which will amplify bump steer. In other word it will negatively affect your handling, you will have to fight with the car to keep it where you want...

I might be a pessimist but I think It will take me closer to 500 hrs to do mine. I have been reading on the FFR forum for quite a while and a cobra build with 500 hrs is nothing special. From what I have read, the cobra is quite simple to put together but door alignment, gap fitting, body work...

Good news :thumbsup:, 1st timer as well....

Fran can you post an update or new pictures of the Apex for my Bday (just turned 30 years young :shy:) and/or as a Xmas/Holiday present for everyone following the APEX development... Anything will do... A sneak peak of the frame...your new suspension set up using the corvette stuff...

I had forgotten about DDR, but their product is somewhat of a replicar (nothing wrong with that) it's heavily inspired by the Mclaren F1 The car does look good and they have a nice choice of donors... I think I remember reading somewhere here Fran actually help this guy quit a bit in his...

Matt, I actually do have a detailed budget but the file is at work. It might take a while before I get it... I'm on vacation (ish) until 5 Jan :laugh:

Actually, I was just comparing the fiberglass work of the SLC (only RCR product I have seen in person) compared to any of FFR product (as I have seen all of them). I also assumed the APEX cost saving wouldn't come from cheaper bodywork... Actually it's 13k$ (818 with a soft top) vs 15k$... as...
