Happy Birthday David :pepper:

Martin, Australia requires cats (I believe) on the cars registered within the last few years. I have seen several photos of these Aussie cars fitted with cats. While I can't direct you to a specific example, they are here on the forum. I'd suggest looking through the Builder Log Forum for...

Pete and Dave, It doesn't matter how many people you have watching regs when they are changed and only a select few are told. I am sure you all have heard, finally, of the latest change to qualifying (no longer having to have laps within 110% of fastest lap) that apparently half the field...

Mark, I moved your thread here because it is the right technical forum for seats, but you might want to post something in All GT40 in the General Discussion area also. I sure hope that who ever ended up with them has the integrity to come forward and that you find your seats! Regards, Lynn

For quite some time now I have wondered why the GT/GT40 was either not mentioned or was nothing more than a footnote to the many Carroll Shelby and Ford Muscle pieces that I have seen on TV. With Shelby, I have always made the assumption that it was because the GT/GT40 wasn't his idea and that...

Guys, You have an hour to edit your posts. People in the past were making statements and when they were quoted, if they didn't like the light it cast them in, they would go back and edit the statement; later, they would claim, "I didn't say that." For forthright persons, this doesn't make...

Your statement that prompted my post calling into question your characterization of Americans. So, I am not intelligent enough to know who I am talking about. I didn't inject myself into the focus of the debate as it seemed you were doing OK on your own. Indeed, I don't agree with the...

Russ, Many of those who voiced indignation that you would have received a part that was so poorly made were Americans. That would seem to be a bit out of character for citizens of a whole country with poor quality control, doesn't it? For not wanting to ruffle feathers, coloring a whole...

James, I only just learned about the use of your endless hours of effort to line some slimy bugger's pockets. I am appalled at this and will pledge my every effort as an admin to do what I can to help in this regard. I know that I give you a ration about originality*, but at the same time...

I tend to think like Russ, but I guess it depends on who you're building your car for. I didn't build my car for "a crowd" or even a small group, rather I built it for myself. But, I am fervently independent and occasionally pay a price for that. John, if it tickles your fancy and keeps on...

I noticed that ARE claims to have quite a few customers here: Who Uses ARE. Perhaps some of those who use ARE products would like to know about the fine products, like those that Russ received, that their names are being associated with. Here are just a few of the ones I found with the help...

Doc, I have the bottle pictured below that I might be persuaded to part with since originality is not huge driving factor with my car. It is mounted and in use at present, but contact me if you become desperate for one. Regards, Lynn

I saw an episode of Two Guys Garage on Speed channel recently and they were at a shop that manufactures super high capacity torque converters. The application being talked about was very high performance diesel trucks with automatics, but if someone wants a serious torque converter, I would bet...

Bill, Zip it up and then upload the .zip file. It will have to be downloaded and, in most cases, unzipped to be viewed. But, hey, it gets it on the forum. Regards, Lynn

I asked the question about adjusting KPI to make sure that I wasn't missing something so that I could make some sort of bottom line statement for the average Joe who has read this thread hoping to improve the handling of his car. It is very unlikely that the average Joe is going to fabricate...

Just got the latest email advert from Eastwood. In it they show the latest device to help you work on your car. At $1400 it is a little pricey for something that doesn't look too complicated. It says that you can use an electric drill to crank the car up, so I am assuming that there is a...

James, Many of the items Golan Products are intended for the motorcycle market. So I would advise that flow rates and other specs be checked for use on a GT40. Ilan Golan has answered the phone himself every time I have called. He makes some very nice things including the billet in line...

Guys, Dom and Ian, good work! It has been a while since one of these has been done and, with all of the recent development in the area of gearboxes, this effort was over due. This information will be considered valuable to anyone considering a midengine car; not just to those of us in the...

Paul, A comment on the case shown. By the appearance of the bosses that are cast in the case around the side covers, I would guess that it is designed to be a stressed member; the bosses appear to be mount points for suspension parts. While, to my knowledge, no '40s are designed to take...

Well, "The Kid" finally has had a race in which he did not lead a lap. I guess he's washed up now (he says with tongue firmly planted in cheek ;-) since he only placed third. The bit with Kubica was really fun to watch though. Kimi did himself proud in establishing himself as the leader of...
