Jim I can tell you that I have had similar problems to what you have experienced except that the quality of what I received was also poor as well. I ordered a Gurney Weslake engine to be built on a Dart aluminium block from Jay on 6 January 2008. The engine was supposed to be ready "in 8...

John Never mind, it will give you a chance to take the whippets out instead. Why don't you come to some of the other club events this year - I am sure details will be posted soon Cheers, Martin

The Avon CRZs are fine for road use. In the GTD40 car club, a lot of us (including me) use them for racing in the wet as well as for general road use. I have driven on them from England to the Le Mans Classic and back 3 times now and had no problems at all. They also look right on the car. The...

it sounds nothing like a Lamborghini ....it sounds like a GT40...unsurprising given it has a Boss 351 engine in it and a bundle of snakes exhaust!

Bjorn, Count me in if you are definitely going to do it. Can you email me the details I need to book or should I book through you?

I have received the engine from Jay and we are sorting out a few issues. Hopefully should be ready for the dyno in the next few weeks. Looking forward to using it in anger in the Isle of Man against Bjorn's 600BHP beast!

John Sounds like a great day. I'm looking forward to another Manx Classic myself - let's hope the weather is as good as it was last year. Cheers, Martin

I would like to add my voice of thanks to all the EC members who made the event such a success. I really had a great time. Here's looking forward to 2010! Thanks, Martin

In case you do not realise, you need to join the club first (which is completely free of charge) in order to see all the material which includes the Goodwood videos and writeup that Paul mentions above. The website address is The GTD40 Car Club, For Classic, Historic, and Replica GTs

Malcolm I would be very interested to get the details of the guys who made Newey's exhaust. I am planning to have a set of straight pipes made as well as silencers. I am particulaly concerned about ensuring that it can get to <105dB with silencers, as my existing engine only just clears...

Hi Malcolm I am looking at having a new crossover system built for 6GTD when my Gurney Weslake engine arrives from Jay Cushman. Can you explain for the non-technical types like me, what you mean by a rifle crossover system, as I am keen for the original GT40 noise. Thanks, Martin

I am doing both AMOC as well as Gurston so see you guys there

Hi Is anybody going to do the MIRA sprint on 24 May? Regards, Martin

Andrew, Paul The site looks great - well done! The web address is not showing on the thread above on my PC so in case this is the case for others it is: The GTD40 Car Club, For Classic, Historic, and Replica GTs Cheers, Martin

Guys It would be great if you came out to Spain for a track day at Gaudix - count me in !! I have not been to a circuit over here yet with my car (given that it is kept in the UK) but the Spanish seem to be fairly relaxed about things like that. Martin

Guys Not GT40 related, but check out this epic video of Tiff Nedell testing the Aston Martin DBS against the Casino Royale stunt driver. Truly awesome! YouTube - Fifth Gear Aston Martin DBS Martin

Anybody interested in seeing the GTD40 club in action on 3 different hillclimbs in the Isle of Man - see posting I just made on the GTD40 Club section Cheers, Martin

In order to get every one ready for the 2008 Manx Classic, here is a video I have put together (using raw footage from Martin Gough) that shows us racing there last year. Racing was Martin Gough, John Bate and I in our GTD40s, Bjorn Arnils in his MG X Power SV (his GTD40 was having work done...

Thanks for the feedback guys - great pics Ian and Ray, looks superb!
