I've been giving the engine some thought recently, in particular how I'm going to control it. I'm planning individual throttle bodies, so I'll definitely need to go with a standalone ECU. At the minute I'm leaning towards Megasquirt and probably MS3 so I can run fully sequential fuel and spark...

Ford GT40 Review: Mastering 40 Inches of Fury Just read this, and thought I'd pass it on :)

My clutch arrived today (Audi RS4 240mm). It fits the flywheel nicely, phew!

Ah - the one on the right should be dark green. She's only 6 so it might not be totally accurate - I'm trying to get her interested in GT40s early!

My daughter has been learning about graphs. She's done a graph of the number of colours in the attachment above. I was expecting the number of gulf colours to be a much higher proportion. But I guess the list may not be a representative collection?

Got it from these guys... dealt with Ben Crisp TTV Racing Components Unit 15 Notley Enterprise Park Raydon Road Colchester CO7 6QD Fax: 01473 312014 UK We are movingon the 22-6-2013 please make a note of our new...

Ah, OK. We've got the same size then. Think tripodic cv joints are what were originally fitted. There's some info here - looks like they are hard to get though. An alternative may be to use a different cv joint with an adaptor. Although this would shorten the shaft lengths and increase the...

Interesting. The pcd of the bolt holes on my 01E flanges is about 115mm. Guess yours must be quite a bit more.

Hi David What's wrong with them? Different size? Have you looked at Car Parts Online, Spare Parts, Motor Spares from CarParts4Less.co.uk ? There are kits listed there for £23 a side delivered... Int.teeth, diff.side, conn.to conn.shaft 33 Internal Splines 33 Joint Diameter (mm) 100 Seal...

Thanks David. Think I prefer the thought of the rotations in the collectors going in opposite directions, rather than the same way as in that pic. Not that I think it would make that much difference... Not sure about the different firing orders. As long as it's 180° I can't see how changing the...

I've been thinking about how I'll do my exhaust - I want to go for the 180 degree arrangement. Does this look about right? I've avoided having the cylinders closest the front of the engine having to swap collectors and the cylinders which do swap sides go to the nearest side of the collector -...

Got that welded up and now moving on to the right fuel sponson area...

Hi David - which company did you get the TIG welder from, if you don't mind me asking? I've heard good things about the support from R-Tech. Their welders are Chinese made, but the support is very much from the UK. Be interested to hear if there are any other reasonably priced providers? Have...

Weather pack - these look to be reasonably priced.... 755 Piece Weather Pack Kit DIYAutoTune.com

Hi Darrin I'm going with an MGF handbrake lever. I wanted a lever which is a little more compact than the Escort one. I've not fitted it, so don't know how successful this will be yet.... Cheers James

Got the central area of the middle section cut and laid out ready for tacking up...

Thanks Bill & Jim - gives me some other options to think about. Jim - I like the look of your pedal box. Is that something you've fabricated?

Hi Darrin - how about the space behind the fuel tanks... One side has the battery and the other side the swirl pot. Not sure if a stock swirl pot would have the right dimensions to fit, but maybe a bespoke one could be fabricated to the space available. Would be out of the way there...

Cheers guys. Think I'll do the same.

Hi Darrin I think centre console, cable shifter and 01E gearbox should definitely be doable. (I'm planning that, so I hope so!) I've got ideas from this forum and going to use a Toyota Celica shifter as Bill Musarra has done here (picture in post #3). For the gearbox end, there's a good...
