SOLD
Thanks Apexspeed!
“Groot” is my 1998 Van Diemen RF98/2 FC converted to FF spec with Honda power in 2014. Since my purchase, I have run the car in 3 seasons of autocross and 1 hillclimb event. The car is extremely competitive in autocross running top scratch times at the 2018 SCCA national championships, but could easily be returned to road race trim. I am selling to make room for a Stohr sports racer.

Upgrades for Autocross Use
1) Wheelbase Shortening
The car has Medina Rear A-Arm Mounts to shorten the wheelbase to 102”. I have the original mounts but the Medina mounts also have a setting to emulate the original arm position.
2) Steering Arms
The car has a set of shortened arms installed (with a second set of spares) to speed up the steering, while providing 100% Ackerman. We've used these arms at speeds up to 100mph and found the car to still be stable. I do not have the stock arms but new arms are available through Primus racing for either full or zero Ackerman.
