Hi Folks, As a heads up, I plan to put my 01E up for sale on Ebay sometime later this week. I will update this post when it goes up for auction, but here are the details: - New 01E six speed transaxle (Audi factory new, never installed) - Code FRK 31:8 final drive (3.88) - New Quaife...

Most of the "stock" replacement cams for the TR8 I have found fall into the range below. Al

Hi Ron, No stock info for the TR8 cam, but I will see what I can dig up. Most simulators (at least in the range that I can afford) are really best used to compare the relative difference between scenario A vs B, and are not that great at giving you a right on-the-money HP and TQ curve. If...

Don't forget that it's really about torso/neck/head length and not just overall height that matters with respect to headroom. I'm 5'9" but I have a long torso/short legs (which comes in handy for, well, nothing :)) and I just clear the roof of my GT with a helmet on, while my friend is 6'2"...

I know these programs vary a lot in their accuracy, so here is what I got (using only the one flow value) that you can average into the mix... I noticed after I ran the numbers that you mentioned open headers into 3" collectors, this boosted the #s to 183HP@5250/198TQ@3500 Regards, Al...

Hi Pete, Thanks very much for the heads up. At this point PowerHausII has provided fast, comprehensive responses to my questions (Thanks Ryan!), and while I have subsequently received a response from RH, it was not specific to my request and appears to be a copy of the information already on...

Hi Dom, You could give Grundy Worldwide a try. They insure three of my "fun" cars, one of which is an RCR (but that is for comprehensive only since it's not yet finished). Note that the premium (with Grundy) is based purely on the agreed value of the car, not what kind of car it is. But...

Hi Chas, Please check your private messages when you get a chance. Thanks & Regards, Al H.

The approach angle is tough, but the storage possibilities...

Thanks folks. Looks like I've got some calls to make this week! Best Regards, Al

If you are ever in Tucson, AZ, the Pima Air and Space Museum (Primarily outdoor displays) also has an SR-71. Unfortunately, at least when I was there, it was one of the few planes there you could not just walk up to and touch. Arizona Aerospace Foundation Regards, Al

Hi Folks, Like Ron Earp, I have recently decided to replace the Audi trans I have been planning to use in my RCR with a Porsche 930. This was a hard choice, as the 6 speed 2WD O1E I have is Audi factory new with a beautiful right hand shift modification & new Quaife install done by Jerry...

Hi Larry, I'm assuming you are talking about what are commonly referred to as eyebrows. I got mine from Fran Hall at RCR. My understanding is that they are actually there to keep the tops of the doors from lifting up at speed and are not really a water diverter, but I could be wrong...

A couple more ideas (sorry if these are dups)... Oh, and one other thing, my air compressor is located in my basement's utility room and is piped into my attached garage. This gives the compressor access to clean, cool and dry (air-conditioned) air in the summer. Al

Re: Rcr40-31 I'll second Howard's recommendation. I use Evercoat Vette panel adhesive/filler for non-structural leveling. Gorilla hair and similar long fiber products are fine, but I think they are even harder sanding and still usually require a skim coat of body filler. Neither should be...

Rob, Type a colon ":" and a right paren ")" next to each other :) Here's the list: http://www.gt40s.com/forum/misc.php?do=showsmilies Regards, Al

Here's the rest folks! Best Regards, Al

Folks, Ron asked me to post photos from the owner. Here's one. I'm at work right now and will post the rest (at a decent size & quality) when I get home. Best Regards, Al

Hi Julian, The sump does not have to come off. You will however, need to cut the oil pan gasket off at the block. The replacement timing cover gasket set will come with a replacement for what you cut off. I would check carefully for any erosion of the gasket surface (if it's a used part)...

I prefer a bike with bark.
