    Sad news. Fellow GT40 owner

    Very sad incident. This lets you know these are very serious toys. I now plan on a 6 point cage for my car. I see it was a RCR car involved. Fran, did the car have a 6 point cage?

    Custom ground up build

    Normally, aluminum rods are reserved for drag racing due to aluminum's finite life, curious as to why going that route instead of steel or titanium. I'm just sayin'... Darnel

    suspension ideas?

    It doesn't really say if you are building a GT40 or not, but the first conclusion I came to when I began my design, was the fact that the C5 Uprights won't work with the authenticly backspaced 15" wheels. So you wiould have to make concessions (17" wheels, different offset, etc). This is why I...

    why I think car manufacturers are stupid

    Keep in mind, because of U.S. Monopoly Laws, Dealers are businesses independent from the Manufacturers. So, whatever Pixy Dust the Dealers sell you, don't blame the Manufacturer of the car! It's in your best interest to do your own research on the Dealer and the Salesperson you do business with...

    why I think car manufacturers are stupid

    Volume, cost, complexity, quaility, inventory. The Manufacturer knows the take rate of each of the options (for example, if the take rate is 3% for CC. 3% for Heated Seats, they can be lumped together in a package and get a 6% take rate) So, the volume purchased of these components have...

    Brake connections...

    Guys, The problem is there are too many types of fittings! If it is straight thread, then it should have a crush washer, so nothing is used on the threads. If it is a tapered thread (NPT), then a liquid teflon should be used, because there is metal to metal contact and sealing between threads...

    Brake connections...

    Use nothing. The threads don't do the sealing, the Flared tube seals against the tapered seat. If it's leaking past the threads, you have a problem to fix, it won't hold brake pressure.. Darnel

    ASAP needed buy advice porsche G50,

    I just bought a G50 trans for my GT40 project. You mentioned drilling new oiling passages into the Case for an inverted G50. Can you elaborate? I thought just swapping the Vent with the Fill and increasing the amount of oil would suffice for the street. Darnel
