To be honest 1000hp engine and trans is going to cost you a very large sum of money. Post # 8. Brisc are you going to flat ignore this advise? To get some perspective, 497 hp ( give or take a few )was enough to win L.M in 1967. Now you want twice as much!! I can't stop myself thinking that...

the issues that haunt you on this type of job. post # 212. Yes Jim to me there are two main types. The metal forming,-- which we can manipulate and try to master and secondly that extra pair of hands that are giving you help. That second pair of hands must have some special qualities...

Raikkonen, Alonso, Vettel. post#116 Shumacher, Hakkinen, Villeneuve. Senna, Prost, Mansell Groups of men who dominated their era. Going by this past phenomena I would like to suggest that the chances of this years champion coming from the first 3 names is quite high. The same might be...

Cliff, I would like to suggest that the time to do the mods is about now. Then when the nice summer sunshine arrives it is all ready to go. Some option to look at is to remove the existing engine and replace it with a 502 c.i. fuel injected one. I have seen one of them and, man it goes...

I have the original (although I fear they are not 'untouched') here. Yes. Which you took yourself just two weeks ago. Just a few miles from here. Z.C.

I just read the other thread about one of the longest race tracks . Made me think about a article I read in our local newspaper " Waikato Times". The article said that Tony Roberts the part owner of Hampton Downs racetrack is thinking of selling the track. I just Gooogled; Hampton Downs for...

Cobra seats? Randy they will look great , thanks for the offer, however I think the postage will be a wee bit to much. Perhaps one day I might come visit the States and bring them back as hand luggage? Jim , thanks for the kind words. Yep, no questions were asked about the handbrake...

Randy, thank you for your positive comments. Today the Seats. I like the look and feel of the genuine bomber seat I borrowed from my mate. Post # 19 pic # 2. To build two replicas was the initial idea. But after considering the heat soak the aluminum will get in the full sun while we have a...
