OK......................These are road race cars meant to be run on road courses. That means LAP TIMES gentlemen. I wonder if Fran could post some tracks and qualifying lap times from his national championship year. Now, that would be interesting. Another team that had quite a successful car...

Adam, What diameter (wheel rim) tires are they intended to use?

If I were building an MK2 version or even an MK4 I would be doing an aluminum block and heads FE-type engine and use a Porsche 930 4-speed transaxle. That's about as close to the original power train as you can get and still be in the weight range of an iron block/aluminum head 351W stroked 427...

I like to use an orbital sander to remove material to fit the Lexan (same as polycarbonate, Lexan is just a trade name for it). 100 grit will remove it pretty quickly. Mark off the target edge with a felt pen and sand back the edge to the line a little at a time and trial fit often. You won't...

I have an old piece of glass about 2 feet square that I have used many times as a leveling surface. I lay it on my workbench and tape a new piece of sandpaper on it, apply some oil, and then carefully resurface the part by using a circular motion and gently sanding the surface that needs to be...

And my sense of humor can be a bit dry from time to time.................no harm no foul.

Ya, you're right, I gave a far too detailed and informative answer. How about, depends.........

I can tell you from experience that 1.5 HP per cubic inch is well within reach on 93 octane pump gas with a 7000 RPM limit. That gets you to 600Hp 400 CI. We held my 400 SBC to 550HP to accommodate the rest of the powertrain limitations. It costs approximately 30 dollars per HP to build with...

The type and size of an oil cooler or whether you even need one range from probably not necessary to critically needed, The best advice I can give you is to detail the use you have envisioned for the car. Include where you will drive it, seasons/ambient air temp range, engine description, and...

What is going on with housing the residents that had been displaced?

And what are they going to do with the cleanup debris?

Great stuff for sealing those fill large plates and fuel sender. It can be disassembled but you will need new gaskets and it takes some time to scrape off all the surfaces. It will clean up with Acetone. Don't overdo it. A little thin film goes a long way. I had to find something to seal my big...

Ya I NEED one of the posters. I was wondering what the dimensions are. I want to get it custom framed and put on the wall of my office.

Oh, and I forgot, Track Day organizers and track owners don't like antifreeze, Antifreeze ESPECIALLY in high concentrations does not evaporate quickly when it gets onto the track from a leak or other source. It will leave a slick film much like oil and must cleaned up with oil dry absorbent...

Here: I use a 16 PSI cap. It seems to work fine. There is no reason that you can't keep the coolant temp under 260F in an engine that is working properly. That would be the boiling point of coolant (2/3 water 1/3 antifreeze). If it's over that then it can only be uncontrolled airflow, the pump...

I live in South Texas and I run my car on track on days when the ambient temp is well above 105F and track temps in 130-140F+ in the afternoon. Last year in July it was 103F and 85% humidity at 4 PM for my last session. I called it because I couldn't handle it but the car was fine. It comes off...

I used my original design which I ultimately abandoned to locate the perfect spot for the peddle box. Then I transferred the mount points to the floor of the foot box and bolted the peddle box down. So I guess it was of use in the end. I kinda wish it had worked but at least in the end, it was a...

Still have a complete GTD set of suspension A-arms, links etc. PM me if interested.
