Always the IS-F engine as an option, should just bolt in... (slight issue of finding one).

Yes, Lexus LS400 / Soarer, 4.0 V8. Cross plane crank, same firing order as the SBF. Will rev to 9k though. Expect about 280-300hp to start with, a fair chunk more with some cams and porting. I'm not going massive power with it though. Should sound nice -...

Indeed, the magazine claimed figures for 'our' sensible family car are a second faster than the manufacturer times (5.4s against 6.4s). While I'm sure that's achievable I'd rather have a clutch, driveshafts etc that lasted longer than a day. :)

Thanks, Hopefully it will be when completed! :) Anyway, trial fitted the itb's today. Touch of grinding as mentioned. Trial fitted fuel rails also Need to modify the rails and plan on making a 'turkey pan' and 'sealing' it to the rear clip. Yes the engine is still filthy. :) No...

Hi Tim, it's not permanent, that's just how they came (they're second hand SPF I think). I've left it that way until I plum it properly. Also I thought that was the inlet rather than the outlet. :)

They're OBX, quality is patchy. TB's and trumpets are beautiful, manifold isn't the best of casting or machining plus needed a bit of grinding to fit and will need some serious port matching. Overall I'm happy for the price I paid, I was going to go motorcycle TB's and make up my own...

Had a delivery today Also removed part of the pedal box so it doesn't interfere with the downlink for the steering. Before After It's a massively thick fabricated steel construction copied to look (nearly) the same as the cast magnesium design in the originals. Even...

I was just about to post that the preview/picture browser was no longer working but it seems that's because it's turned off... Personally I preferred the old version as it was far easier to browse a number of pictures. Now I end up with either having to do a right click and open in new tab or...

Well the originals had removable panels (I presume aluminium)... See Cushman Competition

Thanks Larry, I'm pretty certain that one was from this company: Absolute Horsepower Ltd - Turnkey TOT ROD Cobra's Not cheap though, prices start from £2495 (roughly $4200)

I plan on running heating take-offs from the front tubes, much easier.

How did you do the hard lines? I'd like to run hard lines down the tunnel and I'm struggling on the connections.

Thanks for the sit in the car Ian, although I think I'd need the wooden blocks too! Some pictures I took. Plus some other non-GT40 photos Porsche 917 replica I think my son wants a Cobra... :) A whole car in carbon wrap looked better than I expected Shelby...

I read the 'build' thread of Red Victor 3 - Redvictor 3 - PistonHeads and some of the items are staggering. Like they use Aluminium con rods, which last all of 12.5 miles...

FYI, here is the schematic to connect CANBUS to an arduino - http://fazjaxton.net/products/fazcan/files/FazCan-v2.1-schem.pdf You'll need a car suitable power supply and to isolate the arduino from car power on the output/input pins too. I used this circuit...

I'm personally doing similar although I plan on going CANBUS rather than USB as it's far better suited for multiple devices (and is used in modern vehicles so I can use off the shelf components).

Ah yes, that was the first result for a google, I didn't pay that. <quick check of old mail> I got mine from Top Tower Ltd - Adjustable Steel Builders Trestle / Trestles - Size 1 | eBay

I'm using builders trestles, rated to 450Kg each so should be (and I'm using 4!) Like these Builders Trestles at Scaffolding Supplies I should put some wheels on them though which would make life easier.

Avoid any Quattro as you have to convert and they're not as strong (due to the hollow shaft), S4 and S6 are only Quattro. I'll try and dig out my spreadsheet but the info is on this forum. I got my 01E out of a Skoda Superb 2.5TDI - it's an Audi gearbox (all over it has Audi markings and the...

That picture was before I filled it up with a pillar drill, two welders, engine crane, engine, gearbox, boxes of parts etc etc etc. :) Still room for a couple of Somalian families though as since then I've raised it up about a metre.
