QA1 makes a reasonbly priced coil over shock with compression and rebound adjusters. Makes it nice to adjust for different conditions.

The SVRA website indicates MG as the marque (if I read correctly). Will this affect the turn out of originals as opposed to the WG 1989 and RA 2009 events wherein the GT40 was the marque (I assume).

Dylan is right on both accounts, I've paneled my Tornado footwells and there's no room to mount a dead pedal. Clutch-foot rest on pedal, not ideal, and I stay aware not to apply pressure while resting. Freeway drives or ok, I find it comfortable to lay my foot on the floor. As for the front...

Mike, is the pump exhaust the only change that was mad? You 'checked' the floats but did they take any adjustment at all? Tim

How long you ask? Long enough that it drove me to drinking, a lot. Oh wait.....it was road going when I bought it ten years ago, then I stripped it down to the frame......then I started drinking, a lot. So after I thought I was done, it turns out I wasn't......ten years and counting my GT40 is...

Alex, sorry not to many are chiming in here but FWIW the spinners are a maintenance item, I visually check the safety wire practically every time I'm around the car. I'm not concerned about them because I've never had issues with the procedures I use, it's just a habit (kinda like checking the...

Alex, I anti-seize the threads and face. Since you're using the nut style center lock with socket and wrench I see why you're asking the torque rating. You might check with the manufacturer of the center lock hub you're using. My Porsche center locks are 340 ft lb steel nuts and fine thread...

Alex, I'm not sure what the torque spec is but using the three spoke spinner and a hammer tool I hit the spinner until you hear a "dead tone" then safety wire. I'd be surprised if that's even close to 250 ft lbs but I really don't know. And yes, use anti-seize on the threads each time you...

According to Mike part of the issue is when it "gurgles" it drips, indicative of the fuel boiling in the carb.

Is this what you ended up with?

wow, nice Fran. So pretty it's a shame you have put a wheel over them.

Marc, now that I'm getting to know you I like you and you sound like a fun guy in the pits and on the track. You're the guy I'm talking about that has the skill to out drive me and my weekend warrior track junkies no matter what you're in. So yeah, being in that top 1% you need top equipment to...

Marc, I don't know anything about you and you may be a pro driver in which case I'm jealous and my comment here will not apply to you. For us mere mortal working schlubs that get to the race track on weekends, some maybe every weekend, CC brakes aren't gonna make economical sense. Yes, CC will...

^what Kyle says :thumbsup:

Mike, Then I'm no further than you to realizing a resolve.......:lurker: BTW, I followed Jim Inglese's advice and run less than 3lb fuel pressure also.

When the fuel boils do you get excess fuel dripping down on to the butterfly from the accelerator jet? Do you have a turkey pan or some other barrier from heat off the headers? Are all four carbs boiling? I would not suggest changing the pump relief valve (jet at the bottom of the bowl). That...

^ Dimi, good suggestion. The route I'm taking. Howard, cap & rotor are not suspect (although a good suggestion) but inspection of the dizzy revealed rubbing on the sensors as you described. The rest of the electronics are secure and in good shape. Before I removed the dizzy I connected to the...

That's the way to approach the new year Jac Mac, "slow and easy" :thumbsup: I did remove and inspect both cap & rotor real good, there is no wear to speak of (dizzy has only 2-3k mi logged). The only thing that appear odd to me was the gap between cap and rotor contact seems large, approx 1/8"...

In my Tornado with only about a two mile warning the motor started missing at the plugs progressively worse but giving me enough time to find a parking lot, at which point I could only get short burst of ignition when trying to fire the motor. First thing I checked was fuel & fuel pressure, both...

As has been said before if you have an enclosed trailer then small children with a sack lunch are necessary.
