Interesting! Indy as well as F1 are too regulated for my taste. If they were to have an open reglement, I would actually watch it, but all their cars are basically exactly the same. I watched F1 when I was younger, but got bored very quicklly!

Since I've joined this forum a couple of years ago, I've been planning my GT40 build that I'm going to start sooner or later. I love the GT40s and the only really unfortunate thing about them is that I'm 190cm in height and having been sitting in a few GT40s, I know I won't enjoy it much. Ford...

That's a very easy to answer question. There are three very easy ways to answer this: 1) modern brake systems have more than 6000 brake-horsepower, and they can't lock the tires if travelling above 100 km/h. 2) Top Fuel dragsters have roughly 10000 horsepower above 300 km/h and they don't...

How expensive would that adventure be? Are they available with an iron block?

Does anyone have some drawings of the chassis (top view) so that I could work out how much space I would have and how things would fit in? Also, do these dimensions differ between the MK1 and MK2? The MK2 had a larger motor stock, so I assume there is more space in the chassis? BTW: there are...

there are a number of options: Shifty Business Guide to Gearboxes and Transaxles: Off-Road.com Mendeola HD4 for example

Welcome to Fortin Racing make a number of gearboxes that can handle 1000 hp, but they are expensive indeed. Does anyone know of gearboxes/transaxles that are less expensive and ready for the torque?

G'day there, I've been looking around for the least expensive way to build a 1000 HP engine that could potentially fit into a GT40 chassis. Here's what I got so far: Reaching the 1000 HP goal without forced injection means going for a big block which will be very difficult to fit into a GT40...

Gents please click the poll option instead of posting :) I was wondering if anyone knew where to get the 15 inch Mad Max wheels from: http://www.madmaxmovies.com/mad-max/mad-max-cars/ m... These or similar style

Gents any more opinions? I need some decent statistics :)

Thanks Chris for your opinion. I've talked to a couple of people by now and they all say the same, i.e. stay away from Pro Comp. Cheers and thanks for your answer!

(that second half of the above post was taken from an ebay auction, it went for about 45 dollars as far as I remember) I just bought the coil and the ignition box and they both failed. I wanted to send them back but they have never answered any of my emails so I just threw the stuff away...

Gents, I've recently purchased a Procomp 6AL ignition system with the matching Procomp coil. I thought they were awesome products as they are less than half the price of what Mallory or MSD charge for their components typically. Unfortunately, both failed within just 2 months. The coil...

Gents, can you help me out with your opinion here? I'm wondering which of these rims I should get for my '72 Holden 1 Tonner: Original Vintage Style: American Racing 23 American Racing Baja American Racing Outlaw 1 American Racing Outlaw 2 Ridler Draglite Ridler Prostar My...

I'm familiar with a range of CFD codes - mainly used to simulate flight at hypersonic speeds. There is the good old ANSYS package, which now includes Fluent. If I was you I would either use Fluent or Ansys CFX. CFX is a pressure-based code, but that won't be a problem unless you go hypersonic...

Yes, I agree. One rule is naturally aspirated: 75-100 HP/litre. I am playing with a few things at the moment before changing the engine. That is 1) ignition system and 2) fueling. Both of these systems can be changed over to the other engine. 1) Ignition System I've upgraded to a...

Thanks awesome guys thank you so much for your reply. Thanks Lindsey for these infos. When you say import an engine for yourself from the USA - can I register the car here in Australia? I thought this was not possible! I thought it had to comply to Australian emissions etc. and what not - or...

Hello everyone! I've been thinking about upgrading my ute with a new engine but am uncertain where to go. I need more horses to pull my wagon! The 308 Holden engine that is in it now has got about 220 hp only. I'm in Australia and crate engine suppliers over here are limited. As far as I...

Two hydrogen atoms walk into a bar. One says, "I've lost my electron". The other says, "Are you sure?" The first replies, "Yes, I'm positive"
