Mesa...I am not the Trevor M you met at the ISIS booth, the TM you met is one of the builders (son). But we have met when Howard's SLC was delivered and a bunch of guys went to his place to check out the car. Joe and Trevor M certainly did build a superb P4.

That pic of the P4 replica at Fantasy Junction was built by my friend and his father in Arizona. It uses a 308 v8 and a heavily modified porsche 915 trans. Penski shocks, pushrod suspension, blade style swaybars, ISIS wiring system, A/C, keyless entry, really trick home made quick release...

Alex (EFNFAST) got it right (Gordon gives good advice ehh). The hydraulic valve in the rear brake line is such a clean, solid, and reliable optinon that it seems obvious. However many states (and probably all of Europe) require a mechanical E-brake. Dave (we actually met at Howards place many...

Emissions from the increased electricity production required to charge electric vehicles has been shown to overall reduce total emissions caused by personal transportation (but I do think marketers are misleading when they say that electric vehicles are "zero emissions" vehicles). I really dont...

I know this is the "yellow car" (but in red) and I still think I like the smooth front end and horizontal headlights of the "red car", but damn this looks good!

So all us bay area guys are coming over this weekend right? Really I would love to come and see the car (we have met before at either a BACC event or somewhere else) and meet you. Just let us know when you are ready for us and you can charge us all a six-pack for the privilege of viewing your...

I am just wondering if there has been any new movement on the SL-R? It has been a little while since the Zukun designs were released. So Fran I know you are super busy and maybe this is now on the back burner, and your job is not to manage this forum, but if you have time to give us all an...

Chad, I have an aluminum floor (exposed w/ no carpet) in my FFR Roadster (cant call it a "Cobra" with Shelby on the litigious prowl). It is going to get scratched up no matter what you do. You can refinish it by sanding (go in only one direction to get a more uniform finish) and while you are...

Howard and Doc, I am glad to hear that you are planning build logs. I look forward to all the information I can get. Howard, where in the bay area are you? IF that is your GT40 in your avatar then we may have met already. I live in Menlo Park and I would love to come over and check your car...

Yes, can we please have some updates on the SL-C? These days I can only dream about buying an SL-C, but my dreams would be so much more vivid with if there were more pictures and information. How about some build threads or updates and pictures on options like the HVAC system and controls...

My thoughts... 1) Headlight setup on the red car is far better than the yellow 2) Cycle fenders on both are great (much better than the current SL-R fenders) 3) Side pods/skits on both are good I am partial to the yellow (both are better than the current side pods) 4) I like the engine cover on...

What does a typical LS7 weigh and what does the Ricardo trans weigh? If I could afford it I would think about an aluminum block twin turbo V6. Lots of power for the weight.

Hey Fran do you have any pics of the hinged window for the coupe yet? Does the whole window hinge out or is it just the little 1/4 window that is seen on the black SLC on your site? Also any pics of the optional super wide 18" wheels or what the hand brake assembly looks like (hand brake is a...

I am a big fan of trying to keep the price low so I understand some of the changes that have been made. For instance using Suzuki mirrors with integrated turn-signals is a good cost effective solution (I personally don't care for them), and I know that many customers will be using them as track...

Wow Craig, thanks for the speedy reply! It sounds like I need to wait and see more pics before I pass judgment, but right now I am thinking no bodywork, mirrors mounted to the frame (uncoated chassis and weld on mounting tabs myself), and if I decide against the side pods figure out my own...

After looking at the pictures of the SL-R from Carlisle (the yellow one) and the pictures of the SL-R on the RCR website (prototype???) I can see that there have been several changes. For example the supports behind the roll bars are now curved instead of the straight X-brace, seats are now...
