Is there anyone w/ a gt40 that is using the edelbrock pro flo, or the very cool parts maf EFI systems? At about $2500, they seem like a great alternative to the much more expensive weber like efi systems, yet it seems people either go carbuerated or the weber type. How do they apply to the...

In searching the archives, I found a video of top gear testing one of the gulf gt40s, and remembered seeing that picture a while back on a site that features a lot of the top gear programs, and whatever else people send in. I looked it up, and there were some videos on the new gt, as well as a...

The RUF boxes are a good bit different, and probably very expensive. They atleast have longer shafts, and different castings.

I looked up a lot of DRB pictures with the G50/52 installed, and it looks like the bellhousing shortening, flywheel clearancing, and input shaft shortening (just removing an inch off the end) could be done pretty inexpensively at a machine shop. Please correct me if I'm wrong. On the nose...

In comparing the G50/50 and G50/52, I have two questions I searched and couldn't find answers for: It seems the bell housing on the 50/52 is deeper than the 50. If this is true, is the soution to find a 50/50 bell housing, or can the 50/52 bellhousing be modified? For the nose cover (and the...

Chris, That's comforting to know. If you get a chance the next time you put in your racing seat I'd love to see a picture. I have a sparco that I made a special bracket for, and it too is about 1/2" off the floor. I know the seats like what I have won't fit; maybe the shoulder support area...

Hi Hershal, That's a very kind offer and I may just take you up on it. I've learned quite a bit about the cars since I first talked to you on the phone. I've scoured the forum, talked with your partner Jerry, and a few owners, and have been having fun researching this project (its a great...

Re: track event \"open window\" rule and solid window GT40s What would be a good solution for making the window easily removable? I know the '05 cupcars have a solid window that's able to removed (and stll handle high speed). I'd be hesitant to use screws unless I had metal added for it to...

track event \"open window\" rule and solid window GT40s I've only run with pca and pboc, but they have always been pretty strict about running with your windows down (for extraction and hand signal purposes, I would think). What kinds of experiences have you all had with that rule and solid...

Re: Do RF Kits come with a VIN, or just an MSO (registration I found that FL has 2 forms. One for a kit car, and one for replica cars (form TL-48). The kit form requires you to go thru the DMV to get a VIN, which is supposed to be a big deal. The replica form, from what I understand is much...

It looks like to register a vehicle as a replica in FL, if the kit already has a VIN #, then you don't have to go through inspection with the DMV, and the process would be pretty straightforward. If not, then I think since the car will have a new motor then it might have to meet stricter...

I searched on this, and couldn't find anything Florida specific. I called the tiltle office and DMV, and neither could give me much info on it. Apparently there's a big packet of rules to registering a kit car. Has anyone registered a car in FL, or know how the process works? Cost? Time...

I'd like to get some feedback from some of the taller owners, as to how well I'd fit in a GT40 (with a helmet on) I'm tall, and I had to solid mount a sparco 1 piece seat to fit comfortably with a helmet in the 993--the seating position is very upright though. My height is 6' 2 1/4" standing...

Re: Comparisons factory five daytona coupe/RF gt40, search Q\'s Ron - I'm in Gainesville, FL. I was at Roebling April 29 - May 1. I think I was the only 993 running in the higher group. I ran in black, and my dad drove the car in green. It's black with the nose taped up in blue. Mike - The...

Comparisons factory five daytona coupe/RF gt40, search Q\'s Hello, I am brand new to kit cars, and was recently introduced to a factory five cobra roadster spec car at a track event at Roebling Road Raceway. I am used to my 993 that I've set up as an RS, and was very impressed at how the...
