    Tyre recommendations please

    Simon, I would go with the Michelin TB15 for the vintage look: https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/vintage-tyres/michelin-classic-tyres.html You'll have to look through the available sizes and determine where you want your diameters/gearing to be.

    Very cool. Mine are actually treaded as well, but rears are almost bald (they’re race take offs). Did you get your tires from Krause?

    Thanks guys. Tub itself was rebuilt. Yes, running the Avons on the street as there's nothing else that will fit these wheels. They do kick up a lot of gravel but I'm not pushing the car on the street very hard, so I'm hoping they'll last 2-3 thousand miles (?). I wasn't able to find wheels...

    Can’t enter first or reverse at idle (ZF box)

    Thanks. I can see some movement via the inspection hole, will try to get a video. Not sure if it’s the throwout bearing or not though.

    Can’t enter first or reverse at idle (ZF box)

    Hmm, you’re right, wheels turning in opposite directions suggest an open diff. Is the diff in the ZF of a type where both wheels would spin the same direction if in gear and off the ground? I’ve read there are some LSD types that they’d spin opposite directions. Here’s what happens: in gear...

    Can’t enter first or reverse at idle (ZF box)

    Quick update: took the car for a drive. I found that by putting it into second (which it will go into easily), then quickly moving the lever into first or reverse, it will go in. So, at least I have a workaround for now. Is this maybe because first and reverse are not synchronized, so the...

    Can’t enter first or reverse at idle (ZF box)

    Thanks guys. Unfortunately I cannot see the flywheel to clutch through the bellhousing inspection holes or from the bottom of the car, so I’m riding on feel a bit. I did get the car in the air, and with the trans in gear, when turning one rear wheel manually, the other wheel turns the opposite...

    Can’t enter first or reverse at idle (ZF box)

    Thanks Mike, I hear what you’re saying. I think that if I need more travel, I could either decrease the slave cylinder diameter or increase the master cylinder diameter, right? I checked, and with my pedal setup, I’m probably getting just under an inch of master cylinder travel. I would...

    Can’t enter first or reverse at idle (ZF box)

    I have a ZF DS25/2 mated to a small block Chevy via a Kennedy bell housing. My clutch master cylinder is 3/4” and my slave cylinder is 7/8”. Plumbing is all hardline except for the last 2 feet to the slave which is braided stainless. The system is all new. I cannot get the car to go into...

    Bonus pic of my old man back in his prime with his T160. If anyone knows him, please PM me! Would really enjoy learning more.

    Hi guys, I posted an intro thread in the new members forum, but thought many might not check that forum any longer. I’m in DFW and recently came to possess a T70! This is actually my late father’s car, which sat for many years as a bare chassis. Throughout his life he had several Lolas, many...

    Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Yes, I think I’ve read every thread in the T70 forum, best resource on the internet by far! I need to make introductions there as well.

    Hi all. I’m fairly new to the racecar world. I’ve recently acquired a T70 Mk IIIB, a build which my father had started many years ago but was never able to finish. When he passed a few years ago, he also had a T160 and many spare parts (transaxles, wheels, etc), which we bartered into a...
