Superformance forum

[Ron R.]

What happened? SPF not in " GT40 Replica Manufacturers' Corner" any more.

Did I miss something?

I don't see Superformance in the manufacturer's corner anymore. Did they not pay their bills? Did I not pay my bills? Oversight?

I demand answers!! Or, at least a plausible explanation. :drunk:

 

[DaveM]

Did we lose the Superformance forum under Manufacturers Corner?

Dave,

Working on it.

If corporate will not re-up, I will take over sponsorship of the forum.

Or pass the hat. I'll chip in.

 

[Ron R.]

I'll chip in too if needs be...but don't tell corporate...then they'll never ante up.

 

[Rick Muck- Mark IV]

If anyone here buys a new GT40 chassis from me, I will re-up the forum for FIVE years in the name of the buyer!

Yeah, OK, I'll just probably have to pay up myself................

 

[John]

Rick I'll help you out, just say the word.

Ron, DRB Australia are not in the GT40 Replica Manufacturers' Corner any more either, and there are lots of DRB's in Australia, both registerd and under construction.

Guys, those subforums are paid for by the manufacturers that sponsor them. The companies in question decide whether or not to continue the subforums. After a period of time the threads in the discontinued manufacturers subforums are dispersed to their closest matching existing technical subforums.

DRB used to sponsor a subforum many years back but discontinued that some time ago.

Rick,

I'll ante up too.

Guys,

Not looking for contributions. Lance (SPF) is at SEMA and a little busy right now with the Corvette Grand Sport intro.

I have committed to Ron that if corporate does not sponsor the forum, I will. I am trying to get it back up ASAP.

Thanks for the offers.....I need the forum to sell our GT40 seal kits as well as for the volume of knowledge that passes therough here.

Also be sure you have seen Main Page - GT40-Tech

Some of our SPF bretheren have put together and additional source of information. And Randall Thomas from SCOF (Superformance Copbra Owners Forum) now has a GT40 MK II and is working on increased GT participation.

Hopefully this will just be a minor blip........

This project is what makes up most of the "How To" corner here on the forum:

http://www.gt40s.com/forum/site-questions-suggestions-comments/32925-how-do-corner.html

Has anyone heard from the two principals that started the project, Richard and Lynn? Since this material already appears on Wiki it might make sense to disband the How To Corner and disperse the threads back to their appropriate technical subforum.

Rick -- I don't quite follow: what are you referring to by "additional source of information?" I'm aware of Lynn's wiki, the howto corner, and SCOF. Is there something else?

 

[Rick Muck- Mark IV]

Rick -- Is there something else?

No,

I was assuming many don't know SCOF and that GT40 info will now be compiled for members.

Waiting for Ron to recontact me so I can get the forum back up.

The forum has been up since about 8:45am this morning....

DOH!!!!!

 

[Richard]

I'm here and would be glad to do whatever is in the best interest of the group. Now that I have a car that runs I've been on the road this summer enjoying it. I've put over 7K miles on it this summer and plan to drive the wheels off the thing even during the winter months. As long as the heater keep working and the roads allow I'll be out there terrorizing the locals. I also have more "upgrades" planed when the snow gets to deep to venture out.

Do tell?

Most of the "How to Corner" is a) repeated on Wiki b) mostly specific for Superformance. Richard and Lynn did a good job with the articles, but maybe it makes sense to put them in the SPF Subforum if SPF is going to continue sponsorship, or, to put them into their respective technical subforums. Comments?

I'd like to see SPF stuff centralized as much as possible. I wish there were a way to pull Lynn's wiki into the SPF forum. IOW, I'd rather see Lynn's stuff all in one place (even if not SPF associated) than to see it distributed amongst the technical subforums where it will be relatively harder to find for someone looking for SPF specific information.
