The Charlotte Spring AutoFair was last weekend. Its one of the largest shows in the country with thousands of hot rods, muscle cars, classics, etc. Chip Foose was the honorary Grand Marshal of the event and chose my SLC for Best Paint. I'd met Chip a few years ago at his shop in...

Yes, I drove my SLC over 500 miles from Charlotte NC to Jekyll Island GA to attend the Caffeine & Octane event. I was interviewed by 2 of the TV hosts and the show's video crew spent quite a bit of time covering my SLC, so I think it may appear on the Caffeine & Octane TV show as well.

FYI: The Power Nation TV series invited me and my yellow SLC to appear on their program. I traveled a couple weeks ago to the Power Nation studio in Nashville, TN and shot the video. Power Nation is a 2 hour block of time when the following 4 gear-head programs air (30 minutes each)...

I did quite a bit of googling on this topic, but found only 1 reliable hit that said "There is no adjustment" for that G50 transaxle. Just to be sure, I stopped by a local Porsche repair shop and they confirmed that there should be a little spring pressure on the throw-out bearing when...

I assembled the power-train while waiting for my kit to arrive. That includes the intake mods, relocate the alternator, modify the coolant outlet elbow, electrical harness, clean up/paint, transaxle adapter, clutch/presser plate/throw-out bearing and transaxle. In otherwords, the complete...

I just checked my G50-20 transaxle, and the throw-out bearing is pressing against clutch fingers in the rest position. It feels like there is about 5-10lbs of residual pressure when the slave cylinder is at rest. I think there should be a small gap between the throw-out bearing and clutch...

I have received several requests for a printed copy of my Kindle book Car Builder Journal: RCR SuperLite Coupe. I would be willing to do a group buy and hopefully reduce the printing cost through volume. Please send me a PM if you are interested.

I hope you enjoy my Kindle book Car Builder Journal: RCR SuperLite Coupe. There is a free downloadable Kindle Reader app for Windows, Apple, and Android. The reason its a Kindle book is because its BIG with lots of pictures, details, part numbers, etc. The last time I printed it, it was over...

That's a nice looking head-unit and the dimensions look like it will fit the center binnacle. If this will be a street car, you will need a rear-view camera. Will this unit display a rear view camera? There is really quite a lot you can do while waiting for your kit to arrive, that will...

I thought the Gearz episode this morning on SLCs went well. Stacey David's video crew did a good job of representing both Will's blue SLC and my my yellow SLC. We finally got our 10 minutes of fame!

Something strange happen to my SLC this past Saturday, and it could happen to any of you. I took my SLC to the annual Ray Evernham "AmeriCarna" Cruise-in. You may have seen Ray's AmeriCarna TV series on the Velocity channel. Anyway, I arrived at 11AM and it was a cool 50 degrees with a...

Nope! I'm suggesting that you scrap the idea of a front wheel sensor and relocate it to the rear axle.

I attached a series of magnets (or reluctor wheel) on one of the half shaft outputs from the transaxle. Since the transaxle output (before the CV joint) does not move up/down with the suspension, the sensor will endure much less vibration and be more reliable in the long run. Its also much...

Yup, Riley Tech is just 10 miles up the road from me. I suppose I could drop in and pick up a Riley Daytona Prototype for a mere $445k. Just add the engine, trans, tires, etc. Hmmm, suddenly the SLC seems like a bargan:pepper:

Kit Car Name I wish I had a nickle for every time I've heard "Oh, its just a kit car" As you all know, the "Kit Car" name has a negative reputation associated with it. It started with a dark history back in the 1960s-1980s when there were many low quality manufacturers of replicars on VW...

Great video!

Is there a new URL for the SLC Builder's WiKi? I tried to get on to the SLC Builder's WiKi. but the old URL address no longer works -> superliteslcbuilders.wikispot.org).

Where did you find these weld-on LS7 header elbows?

I have some exciting news to share! Will Campbell and I were selected to be featured on the Gearz TV series. We spent all last week in Nashville in the Gearz studio shooting video with Stacey David (Gearz host). The video shoot also included scenes from driving on the local country...
