Fitting a Kinsler stack system onto my LS7 which is then going into an RCR40 (nice easy GENUINE ;) 550bhp). Kinsler is great stuff but a complete system (tank to injector) is @ $10k+ depending on options. But boy does it look good, especially with conventional ally trumpets IMHO. This set...

Its allright for you to find them amusing but unfortunately our present Government is full of the buggers.............:mad: Mind you its been a disaster a week for the last few weeks and boy is it fun watching them squirm :pepper: John

Fran Blub, blub, blub wanna see pictures of my baby's chassis, toys out of pram etc etc (and I mean a proper modern monocoque ;) not one of your old fashioned space frame thingies) Loved some of the bracketry though. Its your fault for telling me it's in the corner of your shop...

Mark Thanks for the info. on the tyres. Yes, I have gone for the 2" flairs which Fran is fitting. To my eyes this is the best look of all in terms of elegance and just looks more balanced as an overall design than a full gulf car. Readily concede, however, that the gulfs look more awesome...

Mark Another superb RCR40 and good luck with the rest of the build. I get my RCR (in the UK) in about two months. Fran did tell me what tyres you fitted but I had a senior moment shortly after the telecon and forgot. Are they Avon or Michelin? I also went for the blue/black, glad that I...

Peter What a good find, thanks for passing it on. Never seen a Vanwall with the engine cover off. Excellent John

For those that don't live in the UK that clip was part of a program called Top Gear which is a regular BBC broadcast. They deliberately selected James May to drive the car because he is the non speed freak part of the presenters team who professes not enjoy the hooligan end of the motoring...

Anyway I try she's always clockwise. Very Interesting Kieth. John

Very interesting thread. Just wanted to make a few observations. 1. The point about most international conflicts where military force is used ,whether started by a gangster/warrior lunatic dictators like Hitler or by a democracy, is that the leaders need to sell it (or propaganda it if you...

Wanni Some really informative postings, great stuff. Also thanks for responding to my recent pm. Apart from the need to cope with around 650Nm the biggest problem we have with finding a box for the GT40 is the limited space behind the rear axle line. As I understand it the distance from the...

The good people who live opposite me have played an important role in building, staffing and funding a home for orphans in Bulgaria. Working through the Church their daughter spent nearly 2 years over in Bulgaria to ensure the success of the project. That program makes me realise why they feel...

Paolo Thanks for that. Interestingly there have been a number of bike/car rider and driver swaps in the UK useually for some TV car program. In general the bikers in a car get closer to the drivers best lap times than the drivers on a bike can get to the riders. Not quite sure why this is...

Paolo What did MS do on the Ducatti? Must have missed this and would be interested to know. Thanks John

Re: Mendeola Transaxles Russ So you design a box somewhere there is the expertise, produce prototypes, test and develop them then find a number of Chinese specialist manufacturers skilled in the manufacture of very high quality very low volume (:rolleyes:) production . You supply them with...

An old classic (much like me'self I suppose:confused:) A piece of tin A length of chord Put it together And there's a FORD (Byron?) Just joining in on the thread drift. John

Re: Mendeola Transaxles I'm with Wanni on this one I fear Wanni's sums could not change that dramatically simply because of the nature of the market. I do not know how many mid engined specialist cars in the 500lbft plus (677Nm) are produced annually worldwide but I bet the numbers are...

Frank Many thanks for the prompt update. You are right, given the circumstances he was pedalling very effectively. Hope you are well. John

Frank Best bit of Utube for some time. The guy in the white canam type car (could'nt make out what it was) did'nt seem to have much idea but the bloke in the red Healy was really flying, amazing turn of speed. Also surprised that what appeared to be a fairly old Porker held station with a 40...

Hmm The Gt40 spirit. Most replicas out there have a space frame chassis, or a stainless monocoque or an ally monocoque. The great thing about the spirit of the 40 is that we each are able (within cost parameters since most of us can't afford an original) to define it in our own way. My path is...

Chris Most impressive, you must be v. proud. I guess he must work out, he looks just a tad fitter than you;) Regards John
