Julian, you mentioned in your earlier posts that your exhaust noise was 99Db. How did you manage that?. I have a CAV GT40 with twin oval mufflers and failed miserably the noise test at Castle Coombe a while back. Is that a bespoke muffler or off the shelf product?.

Interesting discussion on the final drive ratio of the Renault transmission. I have a Renault un1-13 with 3.44 diff. I have recently installed a 3.89 final drive to keep my engine more on the "boil", as my engine's torque and power curve is higher up in the rev band. This experiment is purely...
Julian, the only circuits where I can take my CAV GT40 are Silverstone and Rockingham where noise is less of an issue. I think the drive by and static noise limits are 102db and 105db respectively. Because I live in Bristol which is not very far from Castle Coombe, last year I thought that I...
Hi cliff, please let me know how the car feels with the new uprights. Ian clarkes new A-arms at the rear in my car made a noticeable to the handling, it made the rear more predictable and more planted. I have also replaced the front rubber wishbone bushes with Nylon ones and also installed...
Hi Cliff, I have CAV GT40 51 and have experimented with various set-ups over the years. I am running 15" wheels with 225/60/15 tyres at the front and 275/55/15 at the rear. I have the standard spax shocks but have stiffer springs 425lb at the front and 550lbs at the rear.
For the street I found...
