Luis, About the suspension mods..........................?? Lynn

Tirebiter, Great to have another Porsche specialist on the forum!!! Especially one with such engaging interests (see DCraig's public profile) rockonsmile Lynn

Robes, I would like to commend you on an excellent introduction of yourself, your motivations and your thought process re: GT40s. The many, many new members who have registered lately can take a good lesson from your example here! Thanks and welcome aboard! The answers to all of your...

I'll add my $0.02 worth here re: Fran. Fran/RCR is an excellent example of what Ron is trying to say here. Fran has been a long time member who often adds value to threads with no mention of his products by simply sharing his expertise. Does Fran walk the line? Yes he does, but he does a good...

Lee, In general Databases are only cpu hogs if you are doing a lot of change/add/delete work. If that is the case get the fastest CPU you can afford. Otherwise, they are disk intensive, so get the the fastest disks you can afford. If you can put the data on a striped array of disks it will...

John, I don't know specifically for the SPF, but I would guess either Aviad or Armando's. Personally, I think that Armando's looks the most original: See Gallery "L" listing for more pictures. Lynn

I had a '65 Mustang with the Hi-Po 289 in it and I loved that car. It was one of three vehicles I wish I still had. The other two being a '63 Vette with the big valve 327 and my '53 Pan Head Harley. Oh well.............. Lynn

Speaking of new post indicators, how do you guys like the new Gulf car headlight indicator for the forums? Lynn

Luis, I think it would be a good thing if you could explain how the suspension mods were done: the new pickup points, A arms and uprights. I think there are enough people here who are familiar with Mike Starlings and my Sabre that may be wondering how that setup was arrived at and...

Hydraulic Multiplication: The ratio of the piston sizes (in²) Slave:Master is what determines the mechanical advantage (softness of pedal) in the system. So that if you have a ½" master and a 1" slave, 10lbs of force on the master piston will produce 40lbs of force in the slave. (It is a...

There is a huge issue with Intellectual Property rights not being observed in China as well. Quite a number of manufacturers who have chosen to produce goods in China, and other Asian countries, have found that, when the contracts have finished or been cancelled, products continue to be produced...

Bob, Thank you very much for responding. I think it is wonderful that the GT40 enthusiasts community has the opportunity to hear these tidbits of the car's history from the principals that were involved in its making. Lynn

WDZ, Usually the pulse is taken off of the ouput shaft of an inline transmission, so that only the diff or tire diameter would have an effect on the VSS output. On a transaxle, if the signal is taken off of the ring gear (on the '87 - '90 something Porsche it is taken off the bolt heads of...

WDZ, Pulses are controlled by transaxle, so depends on the gearing and how the transaxle was setup for the mechanical speedo (as in, say, a Pantera.) This is not necessarily the same as the tranny out of a Mustang or other domestic Ford product that is designed to provide a VSS signal. Lynn

click image for auction Seller Says: This is a new motorcraft vss - vehicle speed sensor - that installs between the right angle speedo cable adapter and the speedo cable. It is a totally adapter-free installation for the zf 5-ds-25 transaxles used in many gt40 kit cars. Threads are...

If the car sells for $65K, it will be a bargin.

Bart, Welcome! Have you got a website for your shop? If you do, be sure to put it in your profile so members can check it out. You never know, I might drop in one day :-) Lynn

Italo, The book is a compilation of the Style Auto issues (20-23) as I understand it. Regards, Lynn

That is a wonderfully sorted car; absolutely lovely! I really like the understated elegance of this car: well done without being flashy, even with the polished transasxle. Scott, makes you wonder what??? The line does appear close to the primary, probably deserves a heat sleeve and/or could...

Randy, These drawings are available in the The Inside Story of the Fastest Fords discussed in the thread Aerodynamic Data for GT40s (detail on the book can be found there.) They are black and white only though. Lynn
