Darrin, Don't give up!!!!! At 73 years old, my father still regrets selling some of the cars he had back in the 60s for no good reason. You don't want to get old and wonder "what if". Now that there are a few guys here in the Dallas area with cars, we can all make plans to race up the new...

Scott, Bought mine from Metro Custom Cable. Talked with a nice guy name Bill(?). He was very helpful and gave me great advice on how to size them and what to look for. Push Pull Cable Manufacturing - Metro Custom Cables Robert

Hi Dave, Where did you get the spoiler? What does your measure? Thanks Robert

Cliff, I also recommend the Toyota shifters. I am using a unit from a 2000 MR2. I put a link to one below on ebay. 2000 2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder 5 Speed Shifter | eBay I was told/read somewhere that SPF uses them in left hand drive cars they build. I cannot confirm that, but maybe...

Gary - PM Sent thanks Robert

Great information Gentlemen........Thanks The Edelbrock 4 barrel I have also has a wedge shim below it to level it out. From the top of the manifold, it rises over 9" to the top of the air filter and clears the glass in the middle. Mr Inglese tells me he can make IDFs 9-7/8" tall with no...

Gents, My GTD w/ 302 and UN1-13 is mounted with a nose down attitude, and I am trying to find out the history as to why. I am not saying this is wrong or bad, just want to know the reason. I remember seeing a thread about it having to do with the UN1, but I can't seem to find that again...

Howard, I will look and let you know. I have been told by some other on the forum that mine is the very last GTD that was built by them before they sold the name off. Hopefully, I will have what you are describing and life just got a little easier. Thanks again! Robert

Do you have any more details on how this adjustment works? I looked under and did not see anything, but I don't exactly know what I am looking for. I only need an 1" or 2". Ian - thanks for the info. One of these may work as well.

Does anyone make a spacer for the steering wheel or have a design? I have a GTD. I am on the short end of our species and find myself reaching just far enough that it makes it a little uncomfortable. I do not want to hard mount the seats. Any help is appreciated. Robert

Larry, That is right on too. I always wondered as a kid why my Grandfather had a safe in his basement and almost always operated in cash. When I wrote my very first check that read "Pay to the Order of The Internal Revenue Service", I immediately figured it out. The great Margaret...

Looking for what folks have used for covering radiator, brake cooling, and rear deck openings. I would like to see how it was mounted as well. Thanks in advance. Robert

Does anyone have a basic center tunnel concept/design for a GTD? Pictures of some of the ones that are out there on your cars would also be very helpful. I need one that can house an MR2 shifter and the emergency brake lever. Any advice on making one would be also very much appreciated...

Keith, I am using an MR2 shifter as it was already set up for a mid engine car. As for the cable set up in the rear, I saw a photo this weekend of setup that had one cable down the one side controlling the rotation of the shift lever (i.e. 1st to 2nd)while the other cable was run down the...

That is a nice tight little set up.... I like it. What do you guys think is the best method for getting the cables measured properly? I know I have to make a hole in the firewall anyway, so I am thinking of doing that first. Then, just run the tape measure and go. Any thoughts?

Keith, I am in the same boat as you. I have a GTD that is left hand drive here in the states and want to convert it to center shift. The original builder made it left sill shift, which is a little tricky to get used to. I have been searching for a set up for a while. I have bought an MR2...

Hello Fellas! I am looking for a center shift cable set up for a GTD using a UN1-013 gearbox. Gearbox is set up for either left or right side. Through the research on the forum, I see there are a number of solutions. So, I am open to all types and don't necessarily have a preference in...

Hey Gents. I saw this string and thought to give my 2 cents. Whether it is religion, oil, economics, or whatever, we will never run out of excuses to kill each other. The simple reason.... because humans like it! We like conflict and thrive on what it brings. We are at the top of the food...
