build

I've been scouring the internet for ideas on this build. I just can't seem to sort out the finer points of the build. I plan to run 48 IDFs and 180 degree headers. I want to run Hypereutectic pistons. I will be using reconditioned stock connecting rods with ARP studs. The crank will be...

I’ve been looking forward to starting this thread for years and it’s finally here! This first post will be long winded, but gives some background on how my whole SLC build came about. Building a car has been a childhood dream of mine for as long as I can remember. Back when I was a kid, it...

Haven't been the best poster of information on any of my former projects, but going to give this one a shot. It would be nice to have a photo history of the build - I don't tend to be good at keeping up with pictures either so maybe this will force me to do it. I have been modifying cars and...

Available for sale is my 2016 Superlite Coupe. This car was completed by Allan Uzwiak earlier this year (his 17th build), finished to a very high standard and has only seen about 500 miles of use. It has all the right options, runs great and is fully sorted - gas and go! Video overview of...

I know, I know. I'm probably going to get 100 different responses with 100 different opinions. But I gotta ask. Looking at possibly a GT40 build. I was originally thinking of a 428FE engine for a build. But I was barraged with people telling me that I'll be tearing up the transmission in no...

I purchased the RCR GT40 that Scott B. from Texas had started. Have wanted a GT40 for quite a while and when Scott said he would sell his I had to do it. Thanks to Scott for letting it go. Fran, Vicki and Kristin at RCR have been very helpful so far in getting things going. I've been building...

Where to start? OK, the beginning. Since I was a little kid I have loved (and worked on ) cars. As an adult I have almost always had "a project" car to keep me busy. I got into drag racing for a while and then about 10 years ago (thankfully) I found track driving. Since then I have been...

Well I've gone and done it the order is in for the chassis pack from GT-Forte so now I've got to get everything ready for the build starting with my shed that is trashed at the moment and got motorbike parts all over the place. This is my first ever car build but my son races mini bikes so...

I'm in the early days of my build and still working on what components to use a quick look for 302s and there very sparse on the ground I know it's ideal to use a pre 75 but how much difficulty will it cause buying a newer engine with emissions etc just so I'm not restricted to such a small...

I'm just one of those people that works better with a hard copy of a manual to reference, so I took the time to make a Word document of the entire build manual. I organized it, added a footer with page numbers as well as an index for easy referencing. When I punched the holes and put in a...

Hello, I'm new here. I come to find this site is very informative in wonderful world of GT40!! My plans are to build from scratch after I finish building Jaguar C-type. As it took me a year to find info to build a c-type, so to build a gt40 this is going take some planning. To start, who here...

I've been calling around for quotes on a 3 car detached garage expansion and people are trying to tell me $110-$150k. Da faq? For somebody with limited craftmanship skills, how dificult is it to build a garage? I imagine pieces like electrical and foundation should be subbed out, but the rest...

Hi! I am planing my GT40 build atm and want to hear from people who have finished or are nearly finished with their scratchbuilds what the final cost of the build landed on. Please tell me a little about the finished car so i can get an idea of how much was sourced from suppliers and what...

Ill try to upload progress on my GT-R build

While reading Cam's blog, he had a picture of how many boxes of parts and such he has to store while building his and that got me thinking... So while waiting for my SLC kit to be built, I decided to build some dedicated work benches for it. After getting them completed this weekend, late...

Hi all :-). Does a new build RBT transmission have a serial number?

My name is John. These past couple months I have discovered the SLC. And I can not get it out of my mind. I am hooked. I would love to see one in person and talk with a builder. Y'all are a special breed and hope to build one some day.

I didn't really say Hi a couple of weeks ago when I re-entered. It's been a couple of years since I was active here & with my car. I re-activated my membership & started back into working on my Lotus build. This time around I intend to get it built/done (famous last words?) LOL Have posted some...

I'm looking for a kit or to take over someone's unfinished build. Northern Ohio area.

I've searched these forums and elsewhere up and down for any history on this car. A friend of mine is interested in purchasing and is in touch with seller, but they don't seem to have any details beyond the those listed. Any insight would be helpful and greatly appreciated...
