    Jokes anyone? -

    Heard it before but it always brings a smile. It's a Texas thing! I wasn't born here but I came as soon as I could.

    My first 40 was a GTD GT40 that I built and owned from 1995 to 2005. I am currently building a RCR GT40 which should be ready for paint by May 2018. I have had many nice cars but the only car I regret selling was my GTD GT40 since no other car that I had was as much fun to drive. I have restored...

    Rod, Did you just come to this site to bitch and complain? Have you ever posted anything helpful to someones build thread? I don't think that you will make any money posting to this site, you should try commenting on Yahoo, they may pay you to troll there. Why are you so hostile? This site is...

    Stephan's SLC Build Log

    Stephen, I looked at all of the ITB players as well and Kinsler was on my list but they are very proud of their product $$$ (as they have a right to be) which is the only reason that I went with Harrop (liked the fly by wire and different look from most of the other offerings). BTW VERY nice...

    Stephan's SLC Build Log

    Alex, I sold my 280Z in 2014 with all of the documentation and paperwork so I really can't answer your question accurately. I can say that I drove the car for 3 years clocking about 18,000 miles and it never exhibited any issues, no overheating, no spark knock, headers were ceramic coated and...

    Welcome Luc! When I built my 1st GT40 I built it with the goal of being a daily driver and a good track car for open track events. I built it to be reliable and fast and it lived up to my expectations. I drove it every month of the year as long as it wasn't raining since I ran A6's and A7's...

    Tom - The headers were made to replicate the Mark II exhaust, if the tubes running horizontal to the valve covers were 2" lower the headers would have fit perfectly under the rear deck. I had to do the modifications to the body and exhaust to accommodate the headers but in the end I am okay with it.

    Coyote or SBF

    Steve - The support beam for the transaxle is as supplied by RCR, they make different styles depending on the transaxle that you use, as with all of their cnc'd parts they are a work of art and very well designed. Tom - My exhaust was supplied by RCR but I had to modify the 2 rear tubes to...

    Mitch Krause's RCR GT40 Build

    If it worked for them then is must be good. That is why I was hoping that others would chime in. I took your picture and added circles just above the seat belt anchors to show where I might have ran the shift cables (most likely one on each side of the tunnel) if I had a left hand shift car. I...

    H Craft GT-R, Jared's build.

    Larry, When you come across a picture that you like (all of them in Andy's build log), right click on the picture and save it on your drive that way you will always have it. I would also take it a step further and create a build log by highlighting the text and click copy then paste it into a...

    Coyote or SBF

    Another option is to go old school 302 or 351 and add ITB injection along with COP. This will give you old school looks with modern fuel and spark control. Of course the cost will go up but I chose this route because I like the look of the old school engines with the modern tech added for...

    Mitch Krause's RCR GT40 Build

    I think that you will have to reroute your shift cables to the lower passenger side of the tunnel. As they are now I think that the bend in the cables would have to be very tight to avoid fouling with the harmonic balancer on the engine. With the cables lower they can run along the side of the...

    mastershift paddle shifting issues. . .

    I looked into purchasing the Master Shift for my ZF but after talking to the person who literally builds most of the RBT ZF's he informed me that it would be a bad decision and that it would most likely damage my expensive transaxle so I decided against it. Rick
