Dear all, i´m trying to find out as of when 17" racing or performance street tires have been used. Who has them used first ( pictures) and when ? would be interrested in the knowledge of you here. How period correct would the be and which period this would be ? Thanks TOM

Bill interesting, if understood you correctly you measured from reference points on the frame and still got a difference of 1,5" ? Or did i missunderstand something? Adjustment of suspension settings has been the first thing i did on my build and this included the wheelbase setting as well...

Keith very nicy. I had painted one of my racebikes gulfcoloured. Just as a side note: "an original Production Car Record Sheet shows the Light Blue code to be (P030-8013) and the Marigold (P030-3393) both being British Leyland (Triumph) colours" "here it is for the gulf colors(the...

A 1:44:?? ? that would be a rough 2 seconds faster than the winning Porsche. i saw the 1:45 and have been quite sure they could do a 1:44:?? Realy would like to get the details on that. Is there any official result and time table available? TOM

Hi Rick you will probably notice nothing as long the other parameters are ok. Realy wonder if Caster can be the same than ? Just as a reference, try to measure old 911s up to even 94, they have siginificant differences, higher than the ones measured from you. Especially on true track running...

Great achievement Congratulations! Just out of curiosity, what has been the fastest laptime now for the SLC? TOM

Aahh ok so may be this site has some interessting information for you California Motorsports Porsche 993 G50 6 speed transmission section Thanks TOM

Aaaaand pleeeeaaase do me a favour and beat those Porsches. TOM

1:45:725(3rd fastest time behind 2 full aero cars) come on i want to see the 1:44 (at daylight). Car is fast (running permanently 5 sec faster than the next competitor), they seem to loose too much time in the pits.

Hi Rumbles Are you sure that´s a G50, looks more like a G64 or G 96? check this out for information on the G50 end housing http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/24525-toms-rcr-40-trackracer-8.html#post237930 TOM

still going below 1:50 after 14 h

Don´t forget to put in a pedal stop than, to avoid overstressing the pressureplate spring (they do have max recommanded travel) OTher than that i can second what the others said. 2 plate clutchs can be designed with lower pressure forces to be able to transmitt the same torque as a one...

What about drilling another hole on the other end of that tube and insert a small hose with pressurized air and try to blow them out on the other end ? TOM

Dear Randy I mounted the wiper before i made the plenum cover ( but already had this in mind). The actual mounting position is more a result of my other priorities for the wiperdrive installation. First of all the pinion to mount the wiper arm has to have the correct angle to allow the wiper...

Thanks Randy for the wishes, here you go http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/24525-toms-rcr-40-trackracer-15.html#post269455 if you make that tube as short i did, the lucas wiper is realy running ok. You also can see that i have mounted it on top of the 1" reinforcing tube. The panel...

Not to hijack Chucks build log. Randy you are right, i got caught more than once in rain and the windshield tend to fog up. I have not yet start up my AC, so i have to rely on the heater only. If you check my build log you will see, that i have build a plenum out of the two reinforcing tubes...

Dear Don CHeck out my solution. easy to built and very effectiv. http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/24525-toms-rcr-40-trackracer-6.html#post234761 http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/24525-toms-rcr-40-trackracer-9.html#post243474 Thanks TOM

Andrew so if i understood correctly your using a David brown manufactured monocoque for your replica with the bolt on crossmember left over from a P1042 restauration. Just curious, the ones i saw from him are supplied without the steel spider ( or at least i never saw pictures of them with it...

Thanks for your replies We where able to locate that car pictured in my first post TOM

You probably got some Wilwood rotors from Fran. If you check out there Website they have different rotor types of even the same dimernsion. Some are lighter , less expensive material . less exact machining , not tempered , where as other types are heavy duty with bigger wall thicknesses, more...
