Whoops----need to apologize, here. I double checked this morning (on later thought last night something didn't seem quite right about my post earlier) and I don't have the plate behind any "inner fender" but on the mesh towards the center of the car to avoid road debris being thrown up by the...

Hi: I put the license plate on my MKII on the mesh and positioned it such that it was on a part of the mesh which was aft of the inner fender-----I figured this was a relatively "dead air" zone, in which there was little or no airflow that would be impacted. Also, this would limit any air...

I really happy to read this! Is there anything I can do to help move this along? Thanks, Chris Thanks---yes, I have already made this modification. It's a good one and really helps. /s/ Chris

Hi: I have been having a great time driving my car in the real world (even in a slight drizzle in traffic a few days ago!) now that I have raised it a bit, and something which has also helped has been to trim down/shorten the front anti-roll bar links. About those links, I have seen several...

O.K., thanks! I will look it up. /s/ Chris

Thanks---yes, I would be interested in a picture, and thank you for your help. There is no rush. Regards, /s/ Chris

Hi: Does anyone have any pictures of the arrangement used by RCR for the front anti-roll bar and related linkage (I am interested in seeing how this compares to the Superformance arrangement if, in fact, it's different). Thanks! /s/ Chris Kennedy

I have a Roush 427 SR with ZF 5 spd with 3.78 rear and .646 5th. The average over the two runs totaling 140 miles was 15.6 mph. It was mostly on I -10 W out of Houston. The car has the Speedhut speedo, and I calculated mph in 5th at 32.4 mph per 1000 rpm using the Wallace Racing converter...

Yeah, I have read about that other places, which is one of the reasons I needed to get some feel for the gauge and the mpg of the car, itself. Again, thanks, Chris

Thanks, Mr. Hood--- your suggested technique worked great and the fuel tanks filled totally and the gas gauge actually behaved like a normal gauge for a change. Over about 140 miles of driving and three topping off fills at the same pump I was able to get a reliable calculation of fuel used/mpg...

I intend to take it really slow (and I have been doing that even putting in discreet 5-10 gallon batches). Basically, what I do is manually hold the nozzle slightly open so it it is filling slowly, like I do in the '65 Mustang I have, which my father bought when new (when the Mustang was new...

Thank you both--yes, I do have the crossover piping and I have noticed the slight delay in loading the opposite tank, even just adding small amounts of fuel. I feel sort of silly asking whether the nozzle still shuts off automatically, but have learned to ask anyway. I also appreciate the...

Hi: As I "learn" more about my GT40 MKII, I am now turning to the subject of filling the gas tanks. So far I have been putting in gas in discrete volumes of 5-10 gallons, and am now ready to take the big step of filling until "full", as if it were a normal car----this sounds like a dumb...

Gorgeous car! Love to see the driver using all of the track (and then some) on turns, and I enjoyed also seeing the Mustangs. /s/ Chris Kennedy

Yeah, I know. I originally ordered my car from them, but with the taller-geared Quaife box (which they special ordered for me), then Quaife ran out of boxes altogether! Long story short: Everything worked out, as I got a ZF with the ratios I wanted. I think the moral of the story is to get...

I had the exact same issue with Quaife mid-way through my build and finally my installer, Dennis Olthoff, was able to get a used ZF. You might try contacting Hillbank Motorsports in Irvine, California, V's Performance (also in Southern California), and your own installer if you are using one...

Correction----actually, my Owner's Manual says 225/50/15, not 225/60/15, so I stand corrected. Perhaps the current 215/60/15 Avons that seemed to be used are the closest Avons to 225/50. Regards, /s/ Chris

Exactly where to measure is tricky (admittedly, in my limited experience). For example, if you mean by your reference to "at the lowest point at the center of nose of the car" the painted fiberglass section, that actually is a little lower on my car than both the metal brace at the front of the...

Yes, I know, and I suspect that might limit somewhat how much you can add! You can also add just under a half inch at the front by going to 225 60 15 tires from 215s. Interestingly, the Owner's Manual talks of total toe in "Minutes", so I had to research that, convert, and I learned something...
