    Motor Racing is Keeping Me Poor

    Why so much? Are they custom or just for a rather pricey car?

    Finished the Poor Man's GT40...

    Nice work! Wish I had a neighbor like you to help with my 914-6. I try to make parts for it with little success. I do get things made on the water jet time to time which look a hell of alot better but kinda pricey for one offs. Had several fieros as a kid. Sadly I didn't know as much...

    Anyone using titanium engine parts??

    Think a few others mentioned it already but after doing some reading it seems you need to be aware of titaniums wear factor when coming into contact with other parts. I have read of people having parts fail withing 20k miles because a valve spring wore a retainer down and such.

    Engine for Superformance

    Great thread. Still trying to figure out whats best. Whatever that means. SPF and the CAV dealer are really close to me so I will try to meet with them both in 2 weeks. Ones in Tokyo one doesn't have a car in stock. First I got to say I simply love Stack type injection. Looks cool as hell...

    Dry or Wet Sump

    I'm not sure what the difference between a dry sump and a wet sump is. I am assuming a dry sump means the oil is not stored in the motor. But then if thats the case then what is the difference between the normal oiling system and a wet sump. But yeah I am not sure. But the big question is if...

    New to site few questions about CAV GT

    Thanks again Veek. There are several things I got going for me. The 914 guys are without any doubt the best group of car guys in the world. I have 2 guys that I can rely on for any alingment issues. They are used to dealing with problems like bumpsteer. Had to do a bump steer to my 914...

    First Ford GTTT (Twin Turbo)

    Saw this before and found it rather stupid. But then again I want a original with 600hp so with the power to weight ratio that may make me close to stupid as well :)

    New England GT40 builders' gathering

    Dam I would really like to come there but it's a far drive from NYC. I don't have a GT40 yet and honestly never seen one in person. A builder is gonna have one in a few weeks for me to see though. Have fun guys. As much as I want to drive there it's just to far :p:p

    Porsche GT3 vs GT40

    Yeah that's the hard part with aerodynamics. What will work best and what looks ok. I'm in the middle of doing some aero work on the 914. I should have the finished airdam and splitter done in a few weeks. The rear I removed the valance and made an exhaust that mounts up and behind the...

    Porsche GT3 vs GT40

    I am surprised by the responses. I know the GT3 is pretty tough. But if you sort out any problems your GT40 has I can't imagine you couldn't beat one or at least be equal. I have a 914-6 and with a good driver(i.e. not me) it can stay right there with a GT3. Granted it's had alot of changes...

    Poll: Would You Swap Your '40 for a Ford GT?

    I haven't driven a GT yet so I guess I should keep my opinion to myself. But I feel that way about all the modern cars. To me a sports car should be a completely physical experience. I know most people don't like that but when I step out of a car exhausted from just driving I am a happy...

    Poll: Would You Swap Your '40 for a Ford GT?

    I haven't got my GT40 yet. Should have it and a big smile by summer. If I wanted a comfy car I would drive my honda civic. If I want to enjoy the experience of driving I get in the porsche and soon I hope a GT40. Why in the world would I want a watered down sports car?

    New to site few questions about CAV GT

    Hi guys Well I have been poking around a bit and reading trying to learn more. I am super impressed with the CAV GT quality. The frame looks amazing. Interior looks great. I spoke with Roy at VIPclassics and he was very friendly and talked alot about racing GT40s. He said it will be...

    Anyone using titanium engine parts??

    Built a honda engine using titanium retainers. Great for reving up to 10k rpms. Rev limter set at 8500. Motor is still in my daily driver after 30k miles and my daily abuse. Didn't built my porsche motor but I think some parts are titamiun as well. Can't beleive a 33 year old motor revs...

    Hey there guys and gals

    Ok introducing myself. :D I've been poking around for a pantera for a long time. Well thats when I came across PIMs website. Way at the bottom was a CAV GT. Took a closer look and realized it wasn't just some shody kitcar. That looks like the real deal IMO. I had no idea someone made an...
