Hi guys, A racer and friend of mine is looking for an open cockpit real T70 or McLaren, etc to vintage race. If anybody has one they would part with or know of any, please let me know. My thanks, Casey Putsch

Here's a picture of my CAV with the Lambo guys. The CAVs exhaust/engine made me feel self-conscience and like I was around a bunch of stock Hondas while it was idling in this picture.

Hey guys, I should likly keep this as a secrete, but I thought I would share. My AAZ audi tansaxle recently failed and I needed something to get by. I found a Diesel 016 Audi and while it has a 4.11 rather than a 3.89 like the AAZ, it has a taller 3rd, 4th, and 5th. In 5th I have a 500 rpm...

Hey guys, Where does one get syncros, seals, and such for our 016 Audi transaxles? Casey

Hey guys, I thought I posted this today, but I don't think it worked. My Audi 016 transaxle failed and I need to get another. I am located in NW Ohio. I'm not exactly made of money at the moment, but obviously need to figure something out. Thanks, Casey

Hi guys, Well my Audi transaxle failed. I have the 016 5 spd. Judging by how the car acted and what I have read, I think the case broke away as they all do. However, mine broke as I pulled away slowly. Go figure. Anyone have any leads on where I can get another? I think I will make a...

Hello Everyone, August 16th is the Horsepower for History Concours d'Elegance in Tiffin, Ohio. It will be a fun evening in the park with live music, antique crystal awards, museum displays, italian food, new Mercedes displays, evening police escorted cruise through town, etc...

Hello all, Does anyone know the original sizes for Lola T70 wheels? Were the early spyders 15x8f and 15x10r? I imagine the later Mk3b coupes were wider. Are they? Thanks, Casey

Hello everyone, I have recently joined this fantastic web forum since aquiring a nice CAV GT40. I have also found it to be a great place to get in touch with people I have met in the past through racing and it has also put me in touch with a pivotal person in the history of my other Can-Am car...

Hello all, I have researched previous threads in regard to the upright issues with the early CAV. I was glad to talk with Ian in Canada who makes some fantastic uprights for our cars. The problem seems to be that the ball joint will lock out before the suspension travel is gone, most...

Hello, I noticed that my CAV's key switch gets hot when I drive the car with the lights on. I assume there is too much current going through it. I havn't looked at the wiring yet to see how I can remedy this issue. Has anyone addressed this problem? Casey

Hello, Recently I took a McKee chassis with a Lola T70 body on it as a partial trade on a race car I sold. I was happy to just get a Can-am car to restore and vintage race as that is what I would REALLY like, but can't afford to just buy a really nice one. I am delighted to find out...

Hello, I have bought a CAV GT secondhand and it has the Audi 016 transaxle with what I believe is the 5 puck single disc clutch. As the clutch engages, it can set up an degrading driveline shutter that is problematic if you need to slip the clutch when parking or the like. I noticed...

Hello, Is it normal for there to be slight in-out and side-side play in the Audi transaxle? less than or equal to a milimeter? If not what is going on? Casey

Hello, I have a McKee that has a Lola T70 MK3b body on it. I will likly be selling the Lola body to restore the McKee to original and would like to see if anyone has interest in it.

If you had an Audi transaxle that broke, please answer these questions so everyone can know what to avoid or fix. (no "smart guys" please) What you did to break it? (pop the clutch, miss a shift, apply power smoothly, powerslide, wheelhop, and what gear were you in? Did you just wear it out...

Hello everyone, I just bought a CAV GT40 second hand and it is fantastic. I am a 26 year old race driver from Ohio and enjoy vintage racing as my hobby. I bought my GT40 as a fun car and am glad I did. It has an Elliot built 347 that makes 480 hp so the cars does what it should! Currently...
