    RF Situation - A bit of information related to other posts

    Re: RF Situation - A bit of information related to other pos Although there are facts here that cannot be disputed, there seem to be a few points that might become clear much later. * Did RF believe that it had enough assets to cover its obligations before the plug was pulled? * Does RF in...

    accelerator pedal position

    Greg Q, How determined are you to heel-and-toe using that technique? I heel-and-toe by pressing the right edge of the brake pedal with the middle of my foot and then rolling my foot to the right to blip the throttle with the right/top of my foot. That way, my knee rotates to the right and is...

    The OLIVER thread

    Re: Oliver\'s Porn Yes I do sometimes make dumb comments as does anybody who is human, but it is usually backed by a logical argument, which in itself might be dumb too. But that’s why I am on this forum. To improve my knowledge in whatever way I can in a subject area that I am passionate...

    The OLIVER thread

    Re: Oliver\'s Porn Yes Oliver. You do need to say more. The second paragraph wasn't the question. It was an incidental to the question, so I’m still waiting for an answer (as opposed to an insult). Why are you here?

    The OLIVER thread

    Re: Oliver\'s Porn Oliver, why are you on this forum at all? You have plainly stated that it is not to make friends or to have a pleasant exchange of any sort. I have yet to see any useful technical information in any of your comments. As you stated in another thread, you believe that...

    RF Clutch and Pressure Plate

    Ron, For what its worth, I was told that it was a 1950s Land Rover housing with a beefed up spring. Not sure of the accuracy of that info though. However, I can say that it is a very common size and bolt pattern (as found in many V8 Holdens here in Aus) except that the throw is different, so...

    RF Engine/Transaxle location

    Dan, This is the best picture I have with exhuast removed. You can just make out that the drive shafts are in a forward facing V. If you need an acurate messurement, I think a good place to messure would be from the adapter-plate to the chassis top cross member. My car is away getting some...

    new jewel from prodrive

    I assume its a mid-engined car? Couldn't find any mention on the web site. I noticed that it was using the Impreza engine. Can the Impreza gear box be used as a transaxle? Although I'm not crazy about the looks, its a good thing though. There aren't enough mid-engined cars in the world

    Help for those RF40 owners at the build stage

    I thought that it might be worthwhile starting a proactive thread that could be used to assist those owners of incomplete RF kits. I expect that many of these owners bought their kits in the knowledge that RF had a very good reputation for after-sales support and to some degree relied on this...

    Just wondering

    If I could give a slightly different take on the question, you might ask why we don’t simply move production to a country where the labour is cheaper. I ask why it is that economists and governments seem to have a preoccupation with having a strong currency, forcing manufacturing overseas...

    An appropriate Tow Vehicle

    April 2006 Motor magazine awarded the best Aus built performance car to the FPV F6 Typhoon (with the sequential box). Second was the Ford XR6 Turbo (manual). Third was the Ford XR6 Turbo (auto). A clean sweep for the Falcon 6 Turbos. Just a few years ago it would have been sacrilegious to...

    An appropriate Tow Vehicle

    Hey Ross. A red car with stripes wasn't a big enough phallic symbol for you? You had to erect an enormous microphone in the background too?

    From 'The Avengers' With Love

    Re: From \'The Avengers\' With Love Well this is an amazing coincidence. I fell asleep in front of the TV last night and when I woke up at 2:30am, there it was… this scene of the Avengers playing on the TV. I thought I was still dreaming. Just curious, what was the significance of the GT40...
