As I await the delivery of my RCR GT40, I am digging into the lessons others have learned/solved. I am researching the front end of a small block: water pump, alternator, A/C compressor. I see all the modern approaches but curious how it was done on the originals. I have not been able to locate...

Randy, Most lifts are designed to work with a 4" thick, 3000psi concrete - the typical floor found in garages and dealerships. Once you've picked a brand and model, ask them for an installation book. That will outline their requirements. I doubt you'll find it any different. One caution: the...

Randy I am starting in on my 5th ITB setup and think I've finally learned enough that I don't get the jitters when I go to start it up. Some points that may help: Remember, you get exactly what you pay for. There is a reason for the dollar difference between SpeedMaster and Borla. ITB's are...

Harrison, A little off the topic of GT40's but your note caught my attention. In my past life, I was an automobile lift guy - Engineering, Service, Warranty, Product Liability, Manufacturing, Marketing and Sales. Did everything except accounting. My career spanned 45 years in the industry with...

As I read & search threads in anticipation of my build, I am running across all kinds of suggestions, changes, and Mods. One that caught my eye was the one by Paul Thon and also Rick Merz. They relocated the rollbar from the cockpit to behind the firewall. As I studied this, I've learned RCR...

Oops, Jumped the gun - Tomorrow is the day. I responded to my reminder, not to the actual event. Everyone get ready - Tomorrow Cake & Balloons

Happy Birthday, Fran Hall Been doing research on this forum and learned today is a special day for you Paul Proefrock

Alan, How would you describe the quality of the shifting? The one we are playing with is extremely difficult to shift however the car is not running and we don't know how much influence that would have over being able to go in and out of gear. We notice some 'slop' in the small 'L' lever...

Is that dark blue or just the way the camera renders a satin black? Colors in a computer image can be very misleading Paul

Little known fact, but it is true.

Nick That just came to me this morning in the shower. Your confirmation set me on a 'next step' I've been studying the concept of the siphon effect of exhaust collectors. If I've read the threads correctly, it isn't a big game changer but every little bit helps. Seems if you align the...

Nick Nice artwork ;) I am studying the exhaust system also, planning my header build. Can you help a beginner with an explanation of the "D" & "P" That has me a little confused, thanks Paul

Thanks for your responses, guys. A second question As you started your build, did you try to use the same bend radius everywhere, or did you find yourself mixing pieces to get the layout you want? I can see it would be easier to use the same bend over and over but can also see there may be a...

I have a question for the brain trust - those who have or are using the Icengineworks modeling kit (or clone version) to generate their bundle of snakes exhaust. The Icengineworks kit is designed so that each adapter has a 1" centerline length with the idea you can match your exhaust tube...

Ron, I see two different supporter badges; Supporter and Lifetime Supporter yet I don't see anyway to upgrade to the lifetime. Was that a one-time thing or am I not seeing a link somewhere Paul

Thanks, Brian. Curious on a couple points 1) what is the sleeving you used? Brand? Part No?. 2) how much difference is there between the RCR frames of GT40 Lola GT-R SLC Are they all essentially the same with some dimensional changes? I've looked for pictures of the various frames however...

Adam, that would make the ID 1-1/2" Are the coolant tubes then substantially smaller than 1-1/2" I understand the interior is full but really confused by all this. Is the 1/4" wall correct? Jim, a 1-3/4" ID would accept a 1-1/2" coolant tube with some type of insulation wrap but a tight fit...

Hoping one of the RCR guys can help me with a couple dimensions. Planning an RCR build and doing some preliminary work. The RCR GT40 frame has a spline that runs fore and aft. Can anyone supply me with the ID and OD dimensions of the aluminum tube that makes up this spline? This is a shot of...

Can anyone help me to visualize the difference between the standard MkI and the MkI with 2" flares. I understand how the rear wheel area is enlarged, but I am having trouble trying to identify if a car has the flares or not. Is there something to help easily identify if the flares have been...

Hey guys, If you can get back on track, this thread is about the Mark I cars, which offered two versions: Race Coupe and Road Coupe Like Ian pointed out, the Mark III is a totally different animal.
