Car is SOLD!! eBay Motors Ad- www.ebay.com/itm/126051010265 Sad to see it go, but come watch as I show some features of my Ultima RS and take you all for a ride.
god i wish i had the coin.... would buy it in a heartbeat its legit my dream build.. i followed every video you posted taking notes for when i build one and it will happen... just incredible build..
I elected every possible option from Ultima, and have the last LT5 in captivity being rebuilt by Katech right now (20k+ for motor, then 18k to completely rebuild it, validate the 1000+RWHP and break it in) @@speedychris8562 . Yes, it will be as special, but blue, and a 2023 model. Gotta match my gt4rs 🙂
@@speedychris8562there’s a few in the works tbh - Judd’s - Ultima are building one with a McLaren F1 engine, there’s a few others floating running high hp MoTeC with sequentials etc.
Haha, 1 day and it's gone. Not surprised though this is a beast, the age old formula of UK chasis with USA power, the acceleration looks brutal, excellent workmanship. If I was on that side of the pond I would have put a bid in. Can't wait to see what comes next.
@@Kronos0999 It is barely been broken in, silly. There was nothing wrong with it at all. Used up? Wait until you're an adult and have to actually pay for a car.
@@thai6670 : How do you know it was sold. The eBay listing indicates the auction ended without the reserve having been met. Starting bid was 100K. So, do you know something others don't know? Beyond that one point of sold or not, this is one bad ass ride. Not really my type of ride, but I'd be willing to make an exception in this case. Maybe it's the color. Or the whine of the supercharger. Or the uniqueness. Or the speed potential. There's really only one thing preventing me from pulling the trigger on this beasty. I lack the cubic dollars. Oh well, just have to buy a few more lottery tickets.
Beautiful car. I am building an RCR GT-40. It’s going slow because I am too busy. Your car turned out great. It’s a track beast. Mine will be for local trips (day tripper) and tracking. More comfortable than a pure track car. Your power to weight is insane. I just used an LS3. 435HP versus your 1,200HP. How insane is that? It would be fun to run yours.
Beautiful car for the price. This is my "lottery car". Every detail you paid attention to is pretty much the route I'd take with everything. Great build.
Please post a short video with link here to whatever & whenever you're getting ready for your next build in case you start a new channel for it. I've only 6 channels subscribed to out of the many many I watch. I guess I lucked out when I happened onto yours and immediately subscribed. Judging from things, it's not about the number of sub for you. But know that there are plenty of us out there who are really impressed with what you've done, the level of knowledge you have, and the of course the amount detail you share. Impressive is a true understatement.
You are really top notch engineer...so many upgrades and solutions, also a lot of carbon-fibre (is without any cheaper 😁). Complete race car with hypercar beating performance...definately gives a run to some high end exotic supercars 😎 Great build...lucky future owner 💪
I just spoke with Wolfbox. They do not have a mounting bracket. Can you please share how you attached yours to either the windshield or roll cage? Thanks.
I’m looking into buying a kit now but am also in Florida and curious if reason for selling was anything about the car specifically. I am also like you and think the RS looks much better than the slc but still looking at both options
@@ryanmccreery5162 i haven't been keeping up with the developments at SLC. At the time (2010) the Ultima suspension was better than the SLC (which was all Corvette). Eng/Trans choices were better with the SLC. But, that's not really an issue. We were able to stuff a nice transaxle and 700 ponies of Elan Ford in it, but never well-sorted. Based on what I know, i would probably still select an Ultima. I did like the 1-piece body of the SLC. Fewer alignment issues.
One other question. We are looking to add a tablet on the dash. Which tablet & size did you mount? Also what type of bracket mount did you use? We contemplated a magnet system, but open to ideas. Thanks.
I used an 8” Lenovo android tablet and it is mounted with a strong magnet. It’s nice because it can be quickly removed, or turned to portrait/landscape. I wired a USB outlet under the dash to power it.
Can’t overlook the fact that the car was BUILT by the engineer(builder)/driver(owner). IMHO that’s the most impressive aspect of the car. There is a unique duality here. Driver comprehension of the mechanical dynamics and the feedback to engineers is the way it goes in the tuning process, and in this instance it’s one person, and what looks to be a team of support who possesses the right skill. Cars like this aren’t for everybody and rightly so. It’s striking and dramatic, sure. It’s meant to drive; valet histrionics an afterthought. Fortunate buyer will likely know their way around a Snap On box and the sense to know where the edge is; you f*k up and there is no save-your-ass-systems, you’re on your own. Thank you for sharing the journey and inspiring me to commit to a full build.
The Podium is better all around for sure, though the Tillett is surprisingly comfortable for being just a carbon shell. Can’t go wrong with either, really. The Podiums are just stupid expensive though.
Like to know what your asking price is on the RS I see that it never sold on Ebay because reserve was not met..I've seen this car in person at Super car Saturday when it was in Pines....
We are in the early stages of chassis 161 build. I want to put in a 4k dash cam rear view mirror. Could you tell me which brand and model you bought? Are you happy with it?
I’d recommend the Wolfbox G900. Make sure to run all the wires before installing the side pods. I’m very happy with mine and it makes rear visibility a nonissue.
*3:15** When the car is overheating, you don't add fans, you add cores to the radiator. I've been able to hit 1700hp with a Griffin 3 Core, and a single fan.*
The problem was that there is a heat exchanger for the intercooler in front of the radiator, essentially blocking it. All those cores are great but if no air moves over them, then very little, if any heat will be exchanged. Bigger, more powerful fans allowed air to be pulled over both the heat exchanger and radiator, maximizing their efficiency.
It was an Insta360. I actually only recorded that clip in 1080p and it was upscaled to 4k for this video. It would have been much better if I recorded in 4k to begin with.

So cool to see the final final build before she goes. Masterfully put together. Hopefully mine will be done in a few months
Are they that bad you finish them and then sell it? Kind of puts me off buying the kit.
i live close to you. i have seen your car at super car saturdays and parked at Dania Pointe. You did a excellent job on the build.
I can’t believe your selling it! What’s the next project?
Ex wife😂……..JK
Damn that noise is just something else.
That wiper placement directly in the middle of the windscreen would drive me nuts
Insane car. Seen the whole build on this and this is made to perfection 100% a 1 of 1 car. Whoever buys this isn't gonna find a better spec RS
Except for the Blue one I'm building right now!!
@@greghapke7060 Would have to be something very special to complete with this RS

You did a Hell of a job on the build. Amazing beast 😊
Well that's a bummer my hi-bid canceled and not a real chance to get the car....would have gone WAY higher!
Good luck with the sale and the next big project! Hopefully it goes to a good home and gets driven as much as it should.

Literally just purchased an Evo! Followed your build from inception and would have definitely purchased yours. Missed it by a week!
I love following this build only wish more videos of it was made
Can't wait for the next build!!! 10/10 awesome build!!!
Beautiful car for the price. This is my "lottery car". Every detail you paid attention to is pretty much the route I'd take with everything. Great build.
Enjoyed the build. I was hoping to see the car in some track action. I hope you were able to enjoy it while you had it. Curious how much it sold for?
The snarl on that thing when it decides it's _really_ leaving traffic behind. Hilarious, terrifying, monstrous.
Can't believe your selling this car is a work of art! Had i hit that lotto you would be missing it 😅
that gave me goosebumps. What a BEAST
Watching you build this car I know someone is going to get a very high end Ultima. Best of luck on the sale. So what's up next? Another build I hope.
I watching another youtuber build one. V8creative. I watched all the video's on your build too.
This seems like a common thread with these kit cars, I keep seeing people build them then sell them relatively rapidly.
y tho?
Car builders enjoy building, so sell and start the next project which hopefully will be bigger than the last
The joy is in the planning and building. It’s like chasing after a woman, after you get her you’re looking for the next
I'm guessing it's just too loud and rowdy for his neighborhood and the cops 😂
Sounded great on Griffin rd but sounded Awesome when you were on Fedral Hwy going north under the runway north to Fort Lauderdale..

The listing has been ended so probably sold outside ebay.
Beautiful build well done
this gives go to the light a whole new meaning 18:12
Bring it to Andretti Karting on Universal Blvd, Saturday 8am. Cars and coffee can sell it, haha
What are the service intervals on the car? Do you do them yourself or do you send parts out?
Awesome car sir! I saw the “maybe race with the Tesla”. Very impressive. Love the color also.
Don’t worry about that red light, cruise right on through… 😂
I thought the same thing😂
Video was posted yesterday went straight to eBay and it was already gone. Good job man. Congrats to new owner it would of been mine hahaha
Damn. Saw this one day too late. 😂 would have bought her in a heartbeat, glad someone did.
Hope she’s getting ripped around properly.
Incredible car and immaculate build
Hey! Congrats on the sale. What is the brand of the rear view mirror/camera you had in it?
Love on first meeting! Amazing vehicle, bravo!
So much cooler than some exotic from over seas imo . Very raw experience
Ultima is a British company...
@@Slash1066 but it was "made in America"
@@FrequencyOfThoughtthat’s just stupid!!! 👊🏻
So disappointed it got removed from sale, could you please tell us the the sale price? I was watching with interest.

100k was a great price for this! Glad you got a buyer!
Twice that. An unbuilt kit with no drivetrain is $120k.
that makes more sense @@UltimateUltimaRS
Your improvements are CRAFTSMANSHIP!
Helluva car for sure! I see the ebay ad got cancelled before the auction ended. What did it end up selling for?
Congrats on the sale, from a previous Ultima GTR and SLC Superlite builder.
What one do you think was better?

Are you selling due to another project in the works or is it just time for it to go?
Anyone know what the car sold for?
$100,000
It says the listing is ended from the link. Are you considering to post it on cars and bids?
What was the kit price and what was the total cost? Awesome awesome build!!!!
Awesome car; what's your experience with the recaro podium vs tillett seat? Which one is more comfortable?
The Podium is better all around for sure, though the Tillett is surprisingly comfortable for being just a carbon shell. Can’t go wrong with either, really. The Podiums are just stupid expensive though.
I've seen this car in Dania Beach , love it .
whats the silver piece peeling up on the dash
Like to know what your asking price is on the RS I see that it never sold on Ebay because reserve was not met..I've seen this car in person at Super car Saturday when it was in Pines....
did i see this at road atlanta a few years back?
1:45 flames on the downshift. Would someone with big feet have problems in the footwell when working the pedals?
No issues. I've driven mine in steel cap work boots. not ideal but it happened.
luv Ur content & the CAR.
Absolutely Beautiful... you did it right...
Great job on your Ultima RS build. How much does this beast weigh?
2000 lbs
i would drive around without the tail, dies it have airconditioning?
What would you like to get for it?

@@UltimateUltimaRS Better still install some oval cable ducting under the side pods so you have somewhere to feed the wires you later find you need.
Beast ... I need to Build one !!
I've been debating between going old school with analogue indicators or going all digital. do you build these regularly?
One of my favorite car ever see. If i had money i ll buy that

Well GD that tunnel pull was an E-ticket ride I'm sure the new owner is smiling
The fact that these are able to be street registered is utter lunacy and I am absolutely here for it! 😂👌🏼
To be fair, it IS Florida.
What exact 360 camera model was that? It handled low light pretty well!
It was an Insta360. I actually only recorded that clip in 1080p and it was upscaled to 4k for this video. It would have been much better if I recorded in 4k to begin with.
Thanx for the response can’t wait to see the next one you’re building!!
Why? It’s the perfect driver car and you spent so much time on it.
Beautiful car!
Wow...Absolutely stunning. Gimme dat!
Looks like you pulled the listing down. Did you sell it by other means and what did you get for it? Did you decide to keep it?
A private collector reached out to me and it sold in less than a day. Won’t be my last Ultima though.
Mine is being shipped now! I’ve got a Katech lt5 going in and can’t wait.
Hows this thing hook up from a dig?
That didn't last long. HOw long did you actually have the car from the point where you got that Recaro seat till when you decided to sell it?
🔥
That's easily the Best Ultima I've ever seen...Very Nice, I'll take mine in Guards Red Please...Ha !
I would love one of these, but with a audi rs3 turbo 5 cylinder.
The reserve wasn't met. I wondering how much he is trying to sell this master piece for?
Absolute beast.😁👍
why hasn't it been sold?
what did she end up selling for?
Dang she's a good car. 😢❤
Sound good
OMG that downshift at 1:03!
What did it sell for?
I cant wait to have the time to build a kit car
Was this build worth it for the money? What would you have done differently if anything?
no it was definitely a huge waste of money, no way he got back close to what he put in.
For how much did you sell it?
Dream car!
How much do you sell the car for??
Good gahd damn i love those Ultima RS's
How much it went for?
So did it sell?
