I use an Audi 01E with a Quaife ATB mated to my Coyote gen 1, gearbox is cheap and plentiful, never heard of one failing in a GT40 or similar. Best code is FRF or DQS, original fit to a 2.5 Tdi (low revving v6) has perfect ratios for a GT40. A six speed box but 1st is just for pulling out of...

I suspect the main reason not many have discussed this type of pump is likely the cost, check out walbro type pumps on your favorite auction site and you'll find plenty of options that will pump more than you need for about £35, I use just such a pump in my car with a coyote crate engine. I run...

Hi Ross, let sleeping dogs lie. If I were you I would do what ever needed to avoid the IVA and just enjoy your car as it is, the IVA is getting tougher all the time and I'm sure would test you patience and sanity. A great number of things on that car will likely not pass current IVA just as...

Once you drive an EV you'll always want to drive one, no going back now.

Hi Nick, I run a Audi 01E on my car with a Coyote crate engine and while I realise it diverts a little from the authenticity of the car it is a very strong and very reliable gearbox. Still quite a few available on your favorite auction site and parts are readily available, it's a very cost...

Mini Cooper SE, best small car I have ever owned. I still take the GT40 out in the summer but for every day driving there is no beating this Mini.

Several on eBay but depends which type you are trying to match.

They all look brand new when they are cleaned off but unless you protect them they will get surface corrosion which can look pretty ugly very quickly.

Hi Dave, I had aluminium tanks when I first built my car with a -12 line connecting the two, the line runs across the front face of the engine bay to allow the fuel to balance. I got frustrated with the amount of plumbing and pumps required to run what should be a simple system and decided to...

FRF or DQS codes are good both used on front wheel drive Audi A6 up to 2004. I have one of each but not for disposal. I would advise powder coating the cases if doing a rebuild as the bare aluminium casing soon looks quite nasty and with it all being very visible certainly looks better and is...

Hi Leigh, I have a GTRacing chassis with a Coyote gen 1 installed, I'm in South Bucks if you'd like to look over it and get some ideas. There are many things I would do differently in hind sight. Regards Martin

Hi Sean, you might find a use for this document. Regards Martin

You will need 100mm cv joints which have a pcd of 86mm, you should be able to find these with splines to fit your existing drive shafts but you will likely have to get new shafts made to correct length.

My clutch master is 3/4" bore.

Oh and another thing, if you have the opportunity while the box is being overhauled maybe, get the casings vapour blasted and powder coated. Likely the gearbox will be very visible on your car and without it they can quickly look quite ugly. I have two units, one powder coated and the other...

Hi Sean, the gearbox was used in so many vehicles, if you have a DQS or FRF then it will have come from something that had a 2.5tdi v6, Audi A4, A6, VW Passat, Skoda Fabia, Seat, who knows. I used a cable system originally but later changed to a jointed shaft, my selector is centrally mounted...

Hi Sean, realise you may by now have committed to something but I used an 01E in my GT40 replica mounted behind a coyote crate engine and it works just fine. The particular 01E to go for would be from a 2.5TDI V6, being a diesel motor the gearing is for low rpm and suits such a conversion...

I did wonder

Hi Eddy, the wheels are from Image, very helpful and familiar with offsets etc associated with the GT40.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. The issue with the reflector at the rear is that in any situation with panels open, you must still be able to see a certain amount of the rear light (reflector). If you break down at the side of the road and open the rear body, the rear reflectors are...
