Pete, Could you give me a step by step method to cutting the helicopter vent hole? I have had the vents and an appropriate hole saw for better than a year and have lacked confidence to try and cut the holes! Any assistance is greatly appreciated! Mike (Sorry for the thread hijack)

I own #08 and think you should be able to raise the spring seats to lower the rear. Just count the same number of turns each side if you don't have wheel scales.

I have purchased stripes from Raceline Digital but have never seen a steering wheel emblem. If they have them, they are not listed on the site that I can find.

There are a ton of great open wheel race cars that are capable of significant speed, both vintage and more modern, that can be purchased for the kind of money you are proposing Cliff. From a practical perspective, if you want is track time with an open wheel car, you have two general options...

I would be very interested in what type of material you used for your window frames and how you fabricated them. I have been considering just such a modification for my CAV. Thanks!

Hey Cliff! I am still enjoying the Porsche LSD that you installed in the Audi 016 of your former CAV! Nice to see that you are still finding excitement in your garage! I have done a number of shows with the CAV and often take home awards. I have put another couple of thousand miles on...

Welcome to the forum! Lots of great people with great cars willing to share experiences with like minded people! Hope you get to realize the dream of a GT40 in your own garage soon!

I finally got some pictures of my Pegasus Racing dash switch placards for comparison. Not nearly as nice as Mark's custom screen prints, but I like it much better than unlabeled and the cost was around $25. You be the judge!

Hi Veek, How much ethanol by percent is now present in your local fuel? Has it increased recently? If your problems presented after finding some dissolved rubber gasket material in your fuel system (fuel filter bowls), I would be more suspicious of something clogging a passage in your...

Hi Chuck. Where did you find the Avon tires in the sizes you mentioned in the US? I have been looking everywhere but have been unsuccessful to this point. Thanks!

Rather than refer to the picture in my head, I purchased labels from Pegasus Auto Racing for my CAV switches and am very pleased with them. They are black plastic plaques with self adhesive backs and red lettering. The only one I had difficulty selecting for was the switch for the A/C-Heater...
