Hello all, Still lurking, going to visit Fran next week. Have been unable to learn if there are differences between the 2 offered Graziano Transaxles other than ratios. Synchros? Gear width? Heat treats? ETC? Thanks for any help that you may offer. Mike

Thanks for the responses all. I have communicated with several owners and "bent several ears", including Will's at Charlotte last year. Thanks to all for your patience. Planning a trip to RCR next month. For the wiki, my interest is in a street car, and the ease of obtaining a title and...

Thank you! Love the site. I am still a lurker, not yet builder. What sorts of info are not available to folks like me? Thanks again, Mike

Forgot to post dates! May 15-17, 2015

Just became aware of this. Might be of some interest. This is a beautiful track just east of Birmingham, AL in Leeds, AL. www.barbermotorsports.com/higpa-home.php#

I also think that the GR1 is beautiful. But, bit of a thread hijack here, I don't understand the wheels. Is there a reason for the alternating wine glass, tumbler configuration or is it simply styling? Mike

Terry, To state some obvious things. Bolts are used for tension loads and shear loads. Bolts have "allowable" loads for each. Bolts designed for tension are different than those designed for shear. Tension bolts have heads with a generous radius between the head and shaft and must be...

Terry, Was there a hole in the hex head? Could a smaller diameter bolt be installed through this hollow bolt? Sometimes in aircraft applications where a single point attachment was required, a bolt in bolt configuration was used to prevent single element failure of the joint. Mike

Dave, I believe "Bodhii" addressed this earlier and indicated that the R8 also is gated at the shifter. If I remember correctly, he did not like it. Mike

Is there a tongue in someone's cheek!!!!

Glenn, Was the solution replace the MAP sensor or "reintroduce" it to the ECU? Mike

If a check valve problem or something similar exists, would you not expect to see fuel rail pressure collapse as soon as the injectors fired? Mike

Saw Allan's vid of the SLC moving under power with a Grazziano TA. Is this the first?

Allan, Glad to see you working with the Grazianno TA. Have I missed some videos on the install or can I hope that they are coming? I don't understand S & B. Help please. Thanks again, Mike

Thanks for the comments! I have added a phoenix reverse bleeder to my list for Santa. Just have to get by that "been good" thing.

Hello Irwin, I have not yet pulled the trigger. I want to build a street car, an R8 analog. Because of the R8 thing, I want a cam in head engine. Working choice is Ford Coyote. I started looking at GTM but reconsidered when FFR told me that it would not fit. Was reconsidering engine choice...

Their radio program....

I too enjoyed listening to the Tappet brothers. I don't know whether Tom was Click or Clack. There radio program brought laughter to an audience well beyond "car nuts".

I am still a lurker but I find myself thinking what should I do to prepare. As to bleeding brakes, I have been old school, one of the boys pumping the pedal while I crack the bleed valve. If I am going to build a car, what would I do? I find 3 types of solutions, vacuum at bleed valve...

Fran, The body photos do not show molded headlight "receivers". Is the kit going with headlight assemblies? Does the A/C take advantage of the centerline intake at the base of the windscreen? Mike
