Thanks Lynn I'm using the 016...but know of no one else using 016 with half shafts. MikeD

Hey Lynn What are you using to generate a signal for your electronic speedo ? I've seen the inductive pickups using the bolt heads on CV joints. But what about those like Sabre and DRB that use half shafts? The bolt heads are kind of shrouded and don't look like good candidates. Thanks...

Actually Fran, I think you SHOULD offer a prize for the first street legal RCR ! Maybe an autographed jacket ?? I am ashamed for how long it's taken me to get back to work on the Lola. I spent entirely too much time on the Terrible-3. But trust me...Lola time is coming ! MikeD

Rob I believe only supporters can post in the For Sale area. MikeD

Hi Ricky...welcome 1. Let us know where you're from...helps build trust 2. Use lower case letters...upper case looks like shouting 3. I'm sure Fran's car can use a 351Windsor...just make sure you order your headers accordingly. 4. I think there's been a few comments about the Engine...

Fran Very nice...but you're still not over the hump. Still no RCR's being driven on the street yet. When is it going to happen? You all ought to be ashamed if Ron gets his Lola on track first ! MikeD

Bill I think that's a neat touch....how are you going to add the raised beads ? MikeD

Dave I hear you. This was one of the few complaints I had with my DRB. It came with the tanks and fillers and vent lines installed...but no provisions for pickup or fuel sender (I did not order the senders from DRB). My choices were yank the tanks out and send them off for bungs to be...

Andy What's your guess as to how many Tornados are completed/running? 50 %...75 %...90 %... ??? MikeD

Howard You ask a good question. I assumed virtually all CAV's are running, and at least 50 % of ERA's are running given the completeness of their kit and income level of typical ERA owner. So that means well over 100 replicas are running in the US/Canada, but I suspect a large percent are not...

And after installation....

Here's a view of the DRB upright before the 1988 adapter is installed

Paul Unless you are after authenticity, the 302 is better (more cubes), cheaper, more numerous. And you can buy/build it to any HP level from mild to wild. MikeD

Cassius I'm unaware of any drawings on the Web for the ever popular Cobra, and there are over 10,000 replicas of that car sold ! Chassis design/fab is not something you want to mess with if you don't know what you're doing. You're risking your life, your passenger, and maybe the guy you hit...

DRB is up to 83 sold cars...probably 70 have been delivered. I know they have a healthy backlog. MikeD

Thanks Fran...I feel better now. Considering Ron's love of the KISS principle, I thought I was missing something. MikeD

Ryan Post a photo. Do you have an 016 handy to check the tranny side bolt pattern? MikeD

Someone posted their car as DRB chassis # 83. I would be surprised if more than half of DRB's production was exported. No idea how many RF actually made. MikeD

OK Ron...I'll ask....why would you need to further support the 016 ? I'd assume Fran's billet crossmember and a pair of decent tranny mounts connected to the usual spot on the rear of the 016 would be PLENTY strong for any kind of racing. MikeD

Bill I'm pretty sure Peter offers an AP brake upgarde...but not cheap. My recollection of US based C4 upgrades was limited. The GS Vette setup requires 17" wheels which I didn't want to do. I haven't checked lately with stainlessbrakes.com but they seem to introduce new brake stuff...
