Hi guys & girls!
I just joined this great forum, and I`m loving it already :thumbsup:
At first I was put off by the fact that it`s called GT40s, but I quickly found out that the GT40 is not the only great car that`s being discussed in here. For a periode of time I did want to build a GT40 replica, but I`ve found other cars that I like even better :lipsrsealed:
I se all of this from a racing car point of view. I live in Norway and with the ultra strict rules & regulations we have for anything more inspiring than a VW beetle I have given up before even trying to get one of these cars registered for road use. That leaves me with the desire to build a hot RCR SL-C or an FFR GTM for racing use. I`ve been studying the FFR forum for about 6 months, so:
Does anyone in here own a full on race SL-C?
Yes I saw Fran`s #18 car, but I feel that that car is way beond my budget and gadgets.
I would very much like to see some pictures of some roll over cages, exhaust systems with mufflers and where to put them. Pictures of tow hooks, engine & transmission coolers, electrical cut off switches, and possibly an FIA Fuel cell would be much apriciated. Links to build logs is good too.
I would also love to hear your story, how the car drives, what can you tell about the handling (typical mid engine car/understeered/oversteered) How`s the basic brakes compared to the optional brake upgrade kit, did you have to change the MC`s when you mounted the 6-piston Brembo`s to get the right pedal feel, how much power is "too much" (yes I know there isn`t such a thing but anyway), and so on.
Looking forward to some feedback!
Thanx for reading!
