EXCLUSIVE<\/strong> \u2013 Regular readers know that we\u2019ll be building an RPS RPX as a magazine project car this year and we have also tested the company\u2019s demonstrator at a rainy Cadwell Park circuit.<\/p>\n

Having exclusive use of the iconic Lincolnshire track was a luxury and the MG TF-based body conversion behaved impeccably. Mechanically the car is pretty much standard TF 160-spec although RPS has added an ITG Maxogen air filter system, which frees up a bit more power.<\/p>\n

I also enjoyed putting the car through its paces on the flowing roads around the circuit. It always nice to get a FIRST DRIVE, especially so when it includes road and track\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prices for the RPX kit have been announced and a complete kit of GRP panels costs \u00a31034 (the new hardtop will more than likely cost \u00a35-600) although the company will sell each portion separately, meaning that if you don\u2019t want to give your TF the full treatment you can mix and match.<\/p>\n

Therefore, a front bumper costs \u00a3185, a rear bumper \u00a3190 or bonnet \u00a3120, making for a versatile and extremely pleasing on the eye package.<\/p>\n

Now I have to get back to making plans for the build, which will appear in instalments in TKC MAG from this summer.<\/p>\n
