Anybody? Thanks TOM

Next time my engine is ready for an overhaul, i should invite a journalist to drive my car. Its an old car with high likely beaten engine parts. RIsk of failure is just there. THe thing is , that it is just so tempting as well. If i would be offered to drive this legend ( would not pay 3200...

Time to buy a set of AVONS CR6ZZ now urgently !!! TOM

Exactly, thats the reason why i pointed out that both a arms in one plane (parallel)to each other. I have dialed in my bumpsteer to 0 mm from rideheight to full compressed. I have 0,2mm toe change ( don´t even remember if toe in or out ) measured on the 7,5" radius from wheel center...

Darrin If it´s about the rear bulkhead window allow me to recommand the following. As this is a flat plane window any decent window glass supplier should be able to supply you with that window in excactly the shape you want ( even in the original trapezoid shape like on RCR´s ) also in...

Hi Jim Thanks for the cudos. There may be not all of the information in my build log, so if you cannot find any specific information, just send me a pm and i try to help. TOM

i think so even if the upright shows an angle ( caster), it will not move with that angle when the a arms travel up and down. It is the plane of the a arms defining that line. Take for example your hub center as reference point and don´t even think about the angled (caster) upright. how will...

Interessting: having lived in Texas for one year and spent about 30.000mls on american roads. i have a different picture. Most german drivers are absolut egomanic, whereas my perception in US is that drivers there much more pay attention to others. You will find almost no driver in Germany...

HI Jim any pictures or drawings of your triple pass mufflers? Thanks TOM

Hi CHuck THe camber would only stretch the line verticaly, there will be no horizontal diviation caused by the camber ( only by bump steer effects).THe movement of the upright is a function of the a-arm planes. As said the both a arms are in parallel plains to each other and in the same plane...

Hi Chuck If you fix the laser level 90° in relation to the brake rotor(clamp one a 90° angle and fix the laser to that, cardboard of course would be placed on the side of the car instead of front)) and using your same method to plot the laser track, you would eliminate the influence of camber...

Dear Rune nice work on the pedals. A comment to the antiskid. Makes sense to me on brake and clutch pedal, on the accelerator i would like to have a more sliding contact patch in order to get a smoother sliding action. just my personal preference TOM

No issues at all runing a RHD/RHS car in dense trafficed germany If you want to experience the closest to the real thing its a must have TOM

Hi Michael check out this picture of Ron´s RCR. This is exactly the body shape of the green car pictured. As Fran pointed out RCR´s body is a 1:1 copy of original. TOM

Hhmm They fit quite nice on my car http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/24525-toms-rcr-40-trackracer-9.html#post241358 Did you try them 180° turned around ? i finsihed them this way http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/24525-toms-rcr-40-trackracer-27.html#post338505...

Jim That´s the 90% factor :thumbsup: TOM

Would guess a south african CCV (cape cobra vehicles) Replica defenitely a KVA/GTD derivate (KVA sidewindow shape, "KVA/GTD Dimp" in front clip, very clear to see on your pic) They look a bit odd, because of the small rear wheels ( in stock form they only have a 8x15" Wheel on the rear)...

Hi Randy you may be correct on this one. Like the look of those tires. They don´t feature the high aspect ratio of the tires first used on GT40s, they are periodcorrect (1075) but do look a bit more modern and give the cars a nice agressive stance. Thinking about to use me 17" wheels on...

Hi would like to find out the exact wheel and tiresize of those two cars. Both of them probably have some means for limiting the steering angle to avoid tires touching the sill panels. What you think? 1075 ( assume 11(10)x15 front and 14x15 rear, with 11.0/23.5x15 or 10.5/23 x15 front and...

The chassisplate says it all GT40 106 WR as for " wreckless replica" Nevertheless a very nice car, like the flared rear clip and the cockpit ( which to me does not look very much different to the MKII B shown above) Agree, don´t understand why people still try to pull something like that...
