welcome to the forums. we are much alike as im a youngin myself (21) with a dream too. and yes, i am into the racer games myself. more open world racer like need for speed and such. not so much the sims like GT. theres plenty of info to find on these forums. the SLC is a nice car if you like...

Re: GT40 North America w/290 original miles, later model, turn key ready to roll! $89 being such a fan of the guy, his race teams, and his cars. i must correct you. its ROUSH!

thanks for all the input guys. and Jimmy youve been PM'ed

As a few of you may have known from my previous posts on this forum, I was saving up to purchase a Deluxe Plus GT40 from RCR when I had saved up enough money. I planned on the purchase in about 5 years or so. I had mentally put it together on how I wanted it to be to the exact detail. I planned...

Its worth giving this a try to remove the clutch out of the equation. Try running the car with it in neutral all the way to operating temp. With it in neutral the clutch should be staying cold as your not engaging/disengaging the clutch as if you were driving. This way you can completely remove...

Tom, When I worked in the field, the #1 choice was Ingersoll Rand. Yes, Craftsman is decent for home use if you want to go down that route, but from a constant beating day after day in the shop Ingersoll Rand was the way to go. That's coming from both personal experience and from what I learned...

Yes I deeply enjoy the look of the modern GT's very much. Unfortunately though the new GT's are running at over $200k on ebay. It would take a large chunk of my life to save that up, even if they are a little cheaper at the time. I want my dream car while I'm young, not retired. I figured I...

About that color but with a few inches wider white stripes like the modern GT at the top of this link. I want it exactly like this. http://www.d2autosport.com/D2_2006/06_Gallery/gallery_pages/gallery_lincoln.html I also found a replica almost exactly like what I want. Thats here...

This is my build plan. When I have enough money which will be in a few years, I plan on purchasing the Deluxe Plus MK1 GT40 Kit from RCR. Pretty much its every part and piece included but the motor and tranny (unless I'm mistaken?). It'll definitely have to be in left hand drive. As for the body...

thanks for the input you guys. as for the SLC, i dont think im a big fan. one way or another i think ill be doing buisiness with RCR in a few short (hopefully) years

By your images its safe to think you are being sarcastic right?

Im looking to build a real head turner kit car in a few years. Im stuck between the GT40 and the Factory Five GTM. Ive spoken to the owner of a GTM and he said people all the time stick their cell phones out their car windows to snap pictures. He even let me sit in his GTM and awe it was a dream...

thats news to me and im pretty fresh out of school and never heard anything about an electronic brake booster so it must be a new trend. ive heard of electronic integrated calipers but nothing for boosters. interesting though, but the question is... why?

I'm also curious of the pricing and when they will be available too

I'm just curious, but what parts of your build left you scratching your head, gave you a headache, or just left you stumped? I hear the doors are difficult to hinge in place but I'm sure there's more difficult things. I just want to know the battles I'll be facing someday when I purchase my kit.
