    Randy heard it with the car in the air and we were turning the rear tires by hand.

    SLC 24 Howard Jones

    Heil. Thanks for that but I'm pretty sure it comes from the GRBX. If you're right I did a lot of work for nothing. However, it would be the cheapest fix I ever did. I don't have that kind of luck. I'm pretty sure it's a bearing noise. I've replaced hundreds of electric motor bearings and it kind...

    SLC 24 Howard Jones

    It's been a while since I last posted. The last time I drove the car I noticed that there was a new noise that seemed to change frequency with wheel speed. It's very hard to describe it but it's a little like a bad bearing sound that changes pitch. It is very faint and can't be heard with a lot...

    Trailer Modifications

    Just wench it in and out and save all the driving in/out drama, You can use a very inexpensive wench, the car is light and on basically flat, asphalt/cement ground. I do my SLC alone all the time like this. Easypiecy. Go in nose first so you can make small adjustments with the steering wheel by...

    Randy's RCR40 MKI

    Neil is right. I actually ran my car without them ONCE. The result was an internment long brake peddle at the beginning of the brake zone. Not good. I have never seen one used on a clutch hyd system. No caliper and brake pads?

    Hello Question Type of GT40

    The chassis (the stuff that doesn't unbolt as well as the rear uprights and suspension pieces) looks very much like my GTD. The center spider is a GTD. Some of the pieces that unbolt such as the horse collar crossbrace are homemade. I suspect that is because of the taller 351 deck height and a...

    Australian Performance Shop modifying the shocks of the SL-C

    He did. I asked some follow-up questions about the process, shipping, and pricing and I am waiting for a reply on those. So far they seem to be very helpful. If and when I get some hard information I be sure to post it.

    SPF Drivetrain Install

    A couple of things. I have found that the power train is a lot easier to work on out of the car. I took mine out to change the alternator bracket to one I made myself. To make this really easy I installed a chain hoist in the garage and made a table so I could work on the powertrain as a unit. I...

    Harness Installation RCR40

    Remember to account for the thickness of the "wrap" required to fix the belt around the bar. You can measure mine on tues. We can review my SLC mounts also. I personally think that this is the best installation instructions I have yet seen. Do it like this...

    GT40 Race

    So will replicas be allowed to participate in the on-track sessions or the race? It seems like a lot of effort to drag a car across the entire country to park it in a parking lot and stand around drinking coffee. I wouldn't have wanted to participate in a wheel-to-wheel (race) but I would have...

    Scratch build MK IV

    This won't work per se, but if you made something similar to this it could be bolted into your present roll cage. If it was bolted behind the rollbar then it will also get you a couple of inches of clearance to the seatback. Make it very strong and heavy wall. But if I'm honest I would add a...

    Lahaina

    When a tragic, catastrophic natural disaster like this one happens the population goes through a process that starts with disbelief, then turns to a wish that it didn't happen, then search for direction, looking for blame, and finally to acceptance which leads to a process of planning for the...
