German Auto Dismantlers G50 Auction I will post a picture once sellar confirms the production year of this transaxle. I have emailed to sellar asking him to verify if the transaxle pictured is the transaxle for sale; and, if not, I asked for verification that it is indeed an '87-'89 model...

Welcome Ernst!! We are truley envious of Austrians and Germans because you have the Autobahn, which we can only dream about :-( Don't be disheartened Doug, there are a boatload of Australians too :-) Lynn

Thanks, Doug, from all of us BTW, we've had 45 registrations so far in the month of March! Lynn

Everyone, We have had an atypically large number of new registrations lately. :pepper: A lot of people from Australia! And others from California to Austria. Welcome aboard to all! Enjoy the forum and please read the FAQs and information for new users. I think you'll find this a...

It sounds like Chris has the balance issue covered in that he is offering 28 oz(early), 50 oz (late) and neutrally balanced flywheels (race; requires rotating assembly balancing.) Very standardized! And, should be able to suit anybody's needs.

Russ, It really wasn't the throw out bearing I was concerned about (more than enough adjustabitlity there to deal with the thickness variation.) While you are correct that thickness variation is the only dimension that will vary appreciably, it is the effect on starter location with...

John, Spring steels are made by hardening the steel (various process that include a combination of doping the crystal and quenching.) When held in shear long enough the forces, especially at the surface, can cause micro excursions beyond elastic strain into plastic strain (not recoverable)...

Chris, Are your adapter plates dimensionally compatible with other Kennedy components? (I have a Kennedy flywheel and a Patrick/Centerforce clutch setup.) PM or email pricing if you get chance. Thanks, Lynn

Lance, I would suggest that you look to Brazil for information. They have been running alcohol/petrol mix and pure alcohol for years now. Because of the huge amount of sugar cane production there, they, rightfully so, saw alcohol as locally produced, renewable alternative to petrol fuels...

If anyone decides to do this, I need the bolt up plate (trans to block) G50/50 to SBF. Lynn

Howard, I am with you on guns and other freedoms being slowly chipped away! I have posted elsewhere that if there was a place that wasn't happening, I'd seriously consider reloacating, but, alas, there isn't. I agree with everything you said, BUT when it comes to fuel, we should be smart...

Glad you are still YerDougliness!! Lynn

Keith, They squirt water because the can! Alcohol being water soluble, as opposed to petroleum based fuels like gas or diesel., is diluted down so any spill from refueling is rendered virtually harmless by the water. Lynn

Keith, I agree! I have been thinking a lot about this lately and the only good PC(green), engineering reasonable, performance fuel to me is alcohol (or a gas-alcohol mix.) You'll have to burn a lot more of it, some seals in the fuel system may have to be replaced, but at least you won't...

Sandy, From what I have read, you are spot on re: Porsche drivers liking the clutch type LSD for the braking bias they give vs a Torsen type. If they could get the overrun number (as Russ calls it, translating for us 'mericans ;-) up on a Torsen, it would actually be preferred. So, maybe...

Trond, I sent you a private message. Thanks, Lynn

Thanks Jerome! For the new mechanic reading this, JMRacecars recommendation for tightening bolts in a crossing pattern is a VERY good habit to get into. It was one of the very first things I learned when reinstalling the heads on my '53 flat head Ford when I was 16 and I've been using it ever...

Paolo, That is possible, but not what I am looking for. Oslo burned down at one point way back. When it was rebuilt the King of Norway renamed the new town Khristiania. Later, the name was updated to Christiania. Finally, it was renamed back to the original Oslo. I think there are...
