Congrats John!! Did you get street or race tail? 480 or 525hp ls-3? I bet you can stil make the shifter work. if you delete the audi bent sheet metal you are down to the cast portion. Even if it has to protrude from the CF tub a bit, you can fabricate a surround and make it the center piece...

here is 1 about a year old from a previous visit. its come a long way since then too....

ive got an sl-c with medium seats. FWIW...

Thanks for the photos. let us know if you post any more youtubes. that "Chasing daytona prototypes" was great!

i think it looks better with them on. +1 for protection too but you then have to decide if you seal them 100% or 0%. I had them 0% sealed and I t was cleaning under there a fair amount. I went 100% sealed but took me 3 tries to get it water tight. I had to completely seal both front under the...

I got in that Amazon camera and put the 16mm lens. Wow, you can actually see things in the rear view screen. The picture of this car is 110ft away, its like a telescope. The positioning is pretty critical now compared to the fisheye. I have it pointed down to see a little too much pavement. But...

Thanks for the detail Bill. Do you have a link to a 12v board cam that has rca or bnc hookups? Also do you know of a good site with a 9" monitor that is cost effiecint and hooks up 12v/rca or bnc? I've got the race tail, so all kinds of room to hide cameras in the diffuser. I found a cool...

I agree. Most backup camera for moms mininvan hav 160 deg FOV but are made to see a tricycle at 8' away. We hbave no rear window and need to see if a cop or the guy you just smoked is 100 to 300' away. The race cam systems are super, but $500 to 1000 Race car data acquisition It looks liek we...

The dreaded COTA uphill corkscrew!

Congrats. You may have them already but a good set of drill and taps makes the fastening process go much faster. see below. also a large number of SS button head 8/32, 10/32 and 1/4-20 of various length helps (especially 1/2" long, hard to find). I drained my local True Value/Lowes in a month...

Ken, Wow you used 3" spacers on you Moroso tank, smart! I used 1/2" and can still feel the heat thru the firewall. Bigger is better

Congrats Howard! If you can get it inspected in CA, TX should be a snap.

What pads are you running? I started with Wilwood BP10 pads that were pretty conservative. I noticed they were cooking and had a glaze over them. I switched to EBC green then red stuff. Each time braking got noticeably better. I really wanted Bluestuff that were a bit more aggressive but waited...

I did the home equity loan and got 4.125%. You can also write the interest off on your taxes. Take 1/3 off 4.125 and you are around the cost of inflation. Close to free money plus your accountant will be happy!

Re: Is there a larger fuel tank now? Nice thing is with the swirlpot and all the associated lines you've got an extra gallon or two. I've been able to fill 15 gal with the original design, although you have burp it a bit at the top. Even when you get to 1% from the sender you can still limp it...

Doc Kalers plus Franks in McKinney, Bruce Levenques in Euless, White ls3-480. Howard's would make 9 in TX, any more??

Congrats John! Happy New Year. Another +1 for Texas, catching up with CA. I think remember you were going to order white, LS376-480? That makes at least 6 for DFW and 8 in Texas. We ought to meet up at a Cars and Coffee...

I had a cheap starter switch that kept getting stuck. Nuked it for the Ford GT switch. A bit pricey now but zero problems: Ignition Starter Switch Motorcraft SW 6176 Fits 05 06 Ford GT | eBay

I don't mean to interrupt the thread but.. A few cars on the web sit, there are 13 on there! That's not lucky, I'm sure you'll create 1 more car soon? I didnt see the GT-R on there? Also, under special projects, is that an SL-C frame as a chase car for filming NFS? 1.40min...

Ha, Interweb. To quote Homer Simpson, "Is that thing still around?" Are you planning to run a Chevy LS drivetrain in the FGT-R? That will cause a bit of discussion at track days....
