    crossover exhaust question

    I know it's an old thread but I am really struggling to find a decent set of pictures of a crossover exhaust system which DOES rotate round on BOTH sets of 4 headers. Looking from the back of the car towards the front, most sets I have seen follow the below pattern which as far as I can see...

    Frank Catt Exhaust now fitted.

    Hi all. Another small update on the exhaust. I got the car out onto the driveway and did some noise measurements. Frank still has some work to do, but he is already on the case. 0.5m from exit at 45 degrees at 3500rpm we measured 108dB. Needs to be down to around 95dB for most track days...

    Frank Catt Exhaust now fitted.

    OK. The starter motor is fixed and works and the car now runs. I have recorded a video but I cannot upload it. It is a MOV file and is less than the 19MB limit. I have converted it to AVI and still cannot upload it. I can upload pictures no problem. Any ideas why I cannot upload movies? Thanks.

    Frank Catt Exhaust now fitted.

    Just wanted to post to let you know how pleased I am with the services of Frank Catt. I have a 'slightly' modified 396 engine and am concerned about how to get under the 99dBA noise limit for IVA. I decided Frank's experience of building repackable silencers for GT40 race car's was what I...

    Wiring Diagram software please

    Thanks for all your suggestions. I looked into this a couple of years ago, and ended up using Express PCB, which I thought was pretty good. The only real problem was the time it takes because it is designed for 1 page designs, but the page is too small for a whole car. I have attached the...

    Wiring Diagram software please

    Can anyone recommend a program for drawing/ designing car wiring diagrams please. Ease of use, ability to automatically link across multiple pages, all that sort of stuff. I would be interested to hear of your success with using one of these programs if they exist. Thanks

    Door mirrors

    Jim (or anyone else for that matter) The Saab switch appears to be the same as a Vauxhall switch used for many years on various cars. I have one of each. Can anyone post what the wires do, or PM me with the connections. I tried to work it out with a continuity meter, and can't make any sense of...

    One more for now showing the entire stand early on Sunday morning. Tested the stitching capability of the camera. Seemed to work very well. Only one obvious error it made (relating to the cars) which took me ages to spot. Can someone pass me John Wishers email address via PM please.

    Unbelievable

    The insurance industry has appeared to me, to have all the aces up their sleeves. They are not interested in what is right. As someone said, if both parties claim it was the other parties fault, it will almost always end up as 'knock for knock' (what a great phrase). The insurance industry gains...

    Mechanical aptitude test time

    92%. Managed to sort out the block and tackles but fluffed a couple by just going too fast - reduction vs overdrive, atmospheric pressure. Got the Bernoulli water pressure question well wrong and 48? - well whatever, it's just for fun but in practise the piston is going down, creating the...

    Age related SVA test

    You will struggle to register a newly built GT40 with an age related registration. I think what you are looking for is described here. This is different to registering as a new vehicle onto which you then transfer an old registration which is relatively (!) easy. Registration and SVA Articles
