Paul, Any Ford dealer (with a GT certified mechanic/shop, if there is such an animal over there) could probably do the repairs. The dealer could get the subframes and any other parts from Ford. Doing it yourself, would most likely void any warranty remaining. Would there be any VAT on parts...

Re: GT40 Australia #48 Pete, Slow corner or slow learning curve? Bill

Re: GT40 Australia #48 Pete, Now give us your honest impression. Do you like it? Congratulations! BTW, I love the pinstripe! Bill

Re: Leaving for OZ next week - still OK for beers? Brett, Just curious...how many hours flying time from the UK to Oz? Jet lag + mass quantities of beer? That's gonna leave a mark! Bill

Chris, Rant, rant , rant! Seriously, did one of the ears break off of the starter flange, or what? Is this a stock starter? Kennedy Engineered Products should have a gear reduction replacement for less than the cost of a new stock one. Got a photo? Bill

Re: GT40 Australia #48 Pete, Great numbers!! Your "funmeter" is gonna be pegged!!! Bill

Re: GT40 Australia #48 Pete, At least you're getting all of the kinks ironed out now, so the that the real fun can happen without any interruption! Keep us posted! Bill

I knew that sounded too good to be true! I'd be concerned about any additive (other than water or alcohol) degrading rubber/plastic fuel system parts. Bill

I have read on a few different occasions, that acetone, when added to gasoline in specific ratios, can give as much as a 35% boost in fuel mileage. According to the articles, acetone simply reduces the surface tension of gasoline molecules, making them burn more efficiently. In addition...

Fred, Hasn't this car been listed by Mecanic Import for a couple of years? Bill

Bill H, Ron was referring to a NEW paint scheme intended for my car, which hasn't occurred yet. After 3 years on the road, some knicks, scratches, etc, it's long overdue for a "facelift", which will include white stripes. Bill B

David, I can tell you from personal experience that unless you have a good French drain system in place and a sump pump with 12 volt backup in case of power failure, DON'T do it! My 40 was nearly inundated twice. Only by sheer luck, was I able to avoid disaster. A GT40 with 4" of ground...

Mike, Try eBay. I have seen small pieces of both CF and Kevlar for sale there in the past. Reasonable prices too. Are you building a tank, or what? Bill

Steve, Kennedy Engineered Products and Renegade Hybrids would be worth looking into. KEP makes adapters for almost anything, and Renegade is a Chevy small block powered Porsche specialist. Bill

TWM makes an 8 stack EFI manifold and throttle bodies for a 460. Not cheap, but then what is these days! Kinsler builds one, but their unit requires more "massaging". Their EFI, that is! Bill

Charlie, Sounds like a "turkey pan"(cold air box). By drawing only outside air into the trumpets, you get a major boost in horsepower. I watched a guy aim a house fan at an 8 stack EFI manifold(Cobra/302W on a chassis dyno). Voila! 20 more horsepower on the next dyno run! At some point, I...

Bill, More than likely, it's what they're smoking! Using the e-brake to get wheel spin isn't my idea of fun either! To each, their own. Ask NASCAR fans what LeMans is, and 95% of them would tell you that it's a Pontiac! Bill

Bill, I never thought I'd be saying this, but I certainly hope you are correct on the $2 per gallon figure! Sooner than later, s'il vous plait!! Bill

It is a Borla. There's one on ebay right now. All yours for $2400 and change. And that's a cat back system only! BUT, Borla makes great mufflers, and it IS stainless. Bill

Re: GT40 Australia #48 Congratulations Pete!!! Feel like you've just given birth?? Get that gearbox fixed, so you can get on the road and enjoy the new "baby"! While looking at your new plate sitting in front of your radiator, I had a thought. How about drilling a pattern of 1/8"...
