    GT40 driving

    Ditto what Howard said. Absolutely. Start with tires, spring rates, diff, etc. then go from there. My CAV drove poorly when I first bought it. Nice car, but had only been a trailer queen really. Shifter wasn't properly hooked up, the open diff gave the car a lot of torque steer and poor...

    Balancing wheels with weights

    Many tires have a yellow dot on the sidewall...this is the lightest point of the balance of the tire. Generally, the yellow dot should be placed proximate to the valve stem so that the add'l weight of the valve stem counteracts the light weight position of the tire. Doing so will contribute to...

    More Global Cooling/Warming/Change hoax.

    Oh for gods sake, give it up. Everyone knows we're f'ing up the environment.....big time.....including the effects of climate change..... The debate (other than here apparently!) is long, long, long over.

    More Global Cooling/Warming/Change hoax.

    Great to see human pastoral activity “may” have slowed the decline there. That’s great. Too bad it’s a dry as a bone now. Maybe it’s a sign that active environmental intervention now can slow the decline effectively. I certainly hope so.

    Not firing on all cylinders. Motec M48

    To ensure you have even air flow through the ITBs don't bother with gap....use a flow meter like a carb synchronizing air flow tool. Sync the ITBs at idle, and at part throttle. Is your EFI self learning with an O2 sensor feedback loop? If yes, is your 02 sensor in a common chamber...

    Not firing on all cylinders. Motec M48

    Ditto checking the correct firing order. Where are you getting your base timing signal from? The distributor, or a crank trigger?

    Porsche Transaxle

    by the way, if you can find old Audi 5000's in your local wrecking yards you'll find a decent transaxle in there (the Audi 016). Can be improved with an LSD from a porsche 944.

    Porsche Transaxle

    Might be good to talk with Scott at Advanced Automation. He knows the audi and boxster gearboxes very well and can no doubt put together a good package for you for a reasonable price.

    Anyone know where to get this style of small 930 CV boot?

    Personally, I would use the GKN boot kits available on ebay and other online sites for about $10 bucks: Part No.92833292402

    So, suppose I use PM’s to facilitate buying some ED pills from Mexico then nobody would know about my condition?

    Will Hollywood do the GT40 story right?

    It means help to tell a great American success story. Just like I said in my post.

    Audi 016 strenghtening plate ??

    If we're talking about the plate style LSD from a 944 then that should reduce the likelihood of spider gears imploding obviously.... That's the primary benefit at least in my view. Have personally installed a number of these LSD's in 016 boxes and run pretty big hp/tq through them afterwards...

    6 Piston Front Master Cylinder sizing

    So you're running dual MC's with a balance bar? In other words, you should be able to balance front/rear so long as you're in the right general range for sizing of both front and rear MC's..... Bob's estimate of sizing looks right to me - might lean a bit in the direction of the 11/16.

    Will Hollywood do the GT40 story right?

    The GT40 LeMans story is a great American success story that needs to be told and celebrated. To make it broadly digestible by the general population the story needs to have some Hollywood touches. That just the way it is. To demean the effort just because the success wasn’t all at the hands...

    GT40 PRICES

    These sell for $5,000,000.....not $500,000....assuming “these” is referring to an original....... One of the best things about GT40 replicas is that you can actually drive one on the street.....so why drive up the cost and turn them into garage queens......
