:thumbsup: I'll third that...........your work on behalf of us all is much appreciated, another excellent read John (its at the paint shop boys, soon, oh yes, soon)

'Ello Nearly there, IVA end June, off to the painters (Gulf Colours) next week. Engine start up on the tube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh7-CmAXK_E&feature=youtu.be Sounds glorious, unfortunately not really captured by the camera. Lightweight flywheel/clutch makes the Kinsler Stack LS7 very...

Tony Another interesting read, particularly since I intend a few track days this year (car almost complete....hooray). Article on scratch built mono fascinating, makes my build seem like a walk in the park even though at trimes it did'nt feel that way. For what its worth I MUCH preferred...

Dave That is excellent news. Have you any pictures you could post, both external and engine bay? Mine is not far away now, I am sure we will get together at one of the "meets". Best wishes John

Keith I have the original colour codes from Gulf Oil (Strictly they like you to ask for permission to use them, which I have done) I will dig out the details and let you know. John

Hello Keith I have one of the earlier batch Quaife's and intend to have the upgrade plus a billet tail. Is the upgrade (can't remember the details of the change) chargeable or is it seen by Quaife as a warranty job? Thanks for getting in touch recently Regards John

Re: PICTURES of CATS Thanks guys! I took your collective sound advice and tested our Moggy in the oven to see if emissions were reduced. Tests were inconclusive as the oven door was ripped off its hinges, my right arm was badly lacerated (fortunately the surgeons managed to save it) and the...

Hello All I am close to finishing an RCR40 build in the UK. Motor is a Chevy LS7 with Kinsler stack EFI which means CATS to get through the IVA. I think that the LS (or other modern V8) are fitted to a number of 40s in Australia, also requiring CATS. It would be most useful for me to see...

What Ho For all you RCR GT40 fans. Terry Hennebery has just got another 40 through the IVA, which is great news (bit like a production line now:cool:). However the most important news is that he is now fitting the body to mine and organising the paint job prior to me submitting the car for...

A builder of RCR GT40s in Kent has alerted me to the fact that the IVA now require "kite marked" side windows to pass the test. It would appear that they have tightened up on the rule and leaving windows out will cause a fail. This is hot off the press , not sure if it has been tested in the...

What ho young sir Mechanics almost complete (about a weeks work) and then off to Terry Hennebery to fit body and organise painting. Hopefully ready by end summer? I will try and post pics on (sadly neglected) build thread. Further appologies for drift. Best John

Hello Andy Have a look at the Avon motorsport site Avon Tyres Motorsport - Road Legal They have an excellent range and are suited to both track and road use. Regards John Lowe

'Ello John Real answer is research thoroughly and make your own mind up as to which suits you best. Supporters of each will inevitably defend their decision. However for what it’s worth I had CAV and RCR on my shortlist a couple of years back and chose the RCR (I am a degree qualified...
