oh i got it. It's an Epsilon Euskadi tub. Man that is a nice piece. Le Mans 2008: Epsilon Euskadi

Isn't this the video? Aeromaster Sports Cars-A kitcar made in Bulgaria - YouTube It says it is by aeromastersportscars and isn't locked for me. Michel, what chassis is that for? It is beautiful. Who makes it?

I have been in contact with them through email. We have exchanged 3-4 emails for about a week. I haven't tried to call.

The "huge humps" are there on the original car as well. Not the 2001 version but they are there on the 2003 version which this replicates. Anyway, there was a post somewhere on mad mechanics that explains the difference.

I have a 2.5L TDI FWD DQS 01E gearbox that I imported from Germany. I actually got it off the German Ebay site. I love it and it works great behind the LS6 making 410hp at the wheels. Several track days and no issues except an axle seal leak. Where can you find these gearboxes in Mexico? Is...

I'm not sure about the exact numbers yet as Iran into a bit of an issue while tunning the ECU. Probablly bearing related but I won't know until I open her up which will hopefully be this week. But I'm planning on making some where around the 470-485hp at the wheels. So no high rpm clutch...

Sorry for the extremely late response. I never got the thread reply notifications. Anyway Andy, I'm using the flat LS1 flexplate and NOT using the spacer. It is the black one that is to some spec (SFI if I remeber correctly) This gives me the extra clearance I need to allow the adapter to be...

Andy, Thanks for the info. I'll take a look at it. It sounds like a good solution. I'm using a custom cable shift unit from Brandwood cars. I was thinking about adding the centering springs on the shifter itself but I didn't like the way I came up with which would allow the springs to work...

Jim, Actually the way the 01E returns is very smart and simple. It does NOt use 2 coil springs. It actually uses only 1 spring for the left/right motion. The shaft itself has a V shaped grove. There is one preloaded spring with a ball point tip on it. It acts perpendicular to the V. The...

If the toyota torsion spring is preloaded then it will work but it will only be for one direction, so two will be needed and they will have to have stops so they do not act upon each other. The illustration with the compression springs will also work but would also need to have something so...

Andy, I tried the torsion spring and it doesn't work so well. I did a little research and found out why. Springs are linear in their force so if you only have 1 spring to act in each way it must be at rest for the center position. Therefore it will generate less and less force as it gets...

I built a shift setup for my Audi 01E box using a cable shift system. When I hook up everything the audi return springs are not strong enough to bring the shift back to the middle position for the left to right motion. (Front to back works just fine) Have any of you guys engineered a return...

How about something more modern like the new Peugot 908 or the Bentley Speed 8 closed top prototype cars? Those would be something to look at.
