Late comer to this thread! I've already got 16 x 0" wheels on my Group C tribute but they still don't fill out the guards - not much choice but to go with a larger negative offset or spacers - which will give me a positive scrub radius. Is there any way to dial this out by modifying the suspens...

Re: Group C JPS tribute build.
Update: Flares test fitted. Bit of tweaking to do. Looking at getting the combination of offset and spacers right to fill the guards. Wheels on here are 16" x 10" Simmons V5. Closest spec with online calculators is 255/45/R16 x 10" at -40 offset to fill the guards - alternatively I co...

Re: Group C JPS tribute build.
Machined Polystyrene is a delicate substance, so its being covered with resin and sanded back to protect and test fit.

Re: Group C JPS tribute build.
A MORE DETAILED SUMMARY OF THE ABOVE PICS... So it’s been a journey since I originally posted this. Like the proverbial calmly swimming duck, the paddling below has been furious.
My obvious obsession with the JPS 6s led me to working with Addam Smith on building these kits and along the way learni...

Update: It's been a while but we've been concentrating on getting the body kit right. Working on 3D Modelling against photos. Hard work but will be worth the effort. Ozibimmer also has some images on his post. Heres some amazing 3D scans of a 6 for the 3D modeller to build from: Scans by https://www...

Door handle sticking open, not flicking back with spring.
Hi, my left side door handle seems to be sticking open - it doesn't spring back naturally. Once I push it in the door will close properly.
Before I dismantle does anyone have a similar experience with a simple fix? Many thanks!

Re: Group C JPS tribute build.
Thanks for the advice JPS635, I’ve admired your car for a while now!
I’ll take a good look at your engine specs.
What’s that shifter you’re running?

Group C JPS tribute build.
So an odd 40 years after laying eyes on the JPS 635csi I'm finally building my own tribute. I've been following these cars around like a groupie for a few years now, and I'm off to Philip Island Historics in a couple of weeks to see the racing JPS 6's in full flight. I currency own a series 2, 5 spe...
