My 917 is RHD ... for street use it's doable, but pretty sketchy whenever there's any traffic around ........ I don't think I'd do RHD again if I had a choice.

Pretty sure that's Del's car unless somebody copied that squiggly badge logo he made https://www.gt40s.com/threads/dels-build-slc-ir-8.50967/

RCR uses Shields .... I bought my lexan windshield from the factory in 2010 and 12yrs later it's still looking brand new .... the coating they use on it to make it scratch-resistant is pretty good (as long as you arn't using wipers and you properly take care of it). The mold they used for the...

Got my new boots ... in stock does not always mean in stock. But there's a foot of snow on the ground so I guess it's a next year project. Are there any tricks to replacing the boot? I watched some videos on google about cv axle boot replacement and it seems simple enough ... I just worry...

That's not one area I'd feel comfortable being weakened - I can't remember exactly the details since this is like 12+yrs ago, but from what I recall the original cars either didn't have a rear cross brace or a really dinky one and ended up cracking.

the other side's boot appears fine and it's just as bunched up as the side that tore. Maybe something like a rock got kicked up into a fold and shredded it, dunno.

called DSS; lots of inventory; boots come with grease packs and clamps as a kit so all good hopefully r&r'ing the axle is easy.... dun dun dunnnnnnn Ken, you're like a walking part index :)

Will call tomorrow and see if they have stock (knowing my luck, backordered indefinitely) Mine lasted 13yrs, but only ~1,500 miles ... I checked the outboard boots and the other transaxle-side boot and none are showing any wear. The passenger side one though had a pretty big tear in the fold -...

Figures that on my last drive of the season one of my CV boots decided to tear .. oh well, at least the grease slung everywhere made it obvious what the problem was. Does anybody know what the transaxle-side CV boot replacement is for a Ricardo? They're stamped KOK and BT-36 .... I think the...

maybe I was lucky, but on my 917 I just put the tail section in the corner of my garage, unsupported, for 2yrs and when I came back to it it fit exactly as it had 2yrs prior. I bolt it on at 6 points with no room for slop (i.e., all 6 points have to be perfectly aligned since they're...

gbox-built 930 mine makes 700ft-lbs so you should be fine.

no. V8 or bust. That's why I put a V8 in mine.

Needs a V8.

Better do reading on ITBs and LSs if you want to go that route. I initially had them (Harrop) on my 427 LS3 and ultimately went to the traditional plastic intake manifold. They were impossible to tune - at idle I had no timing, headers turning cherry red after like 10 seconds, high probably...

kinda ... for one video ... lol

If you plumbed your mechanical pump properly there's no reason for you to have cooling issues.

I've used a Canton 1.25qt expansion tank for over a decade without any issues. https://www.cantonracingproducts.com/canton-80-200-aluminum-coolant-expansion-fill-tank-universal-1-1-4-qt/ I run the puke hose from the cap vent into a small generic Summit canister for the overflow (fill from...

917 is not easy or cheap to build - I think I put ~110k into my SL-C and close to $250k into my 917. Better know somebody who can weld and has access to a machine shop - everything has to be custom on it because there's no fricken room. Mine uses a Katech built 427 LS3 making ~700hp mated to a...

I think that was Ford's decision to scrap them whenever there was any issue and not have any future production parts. And Ricardo isn't going to tell Ford to f-off. I think then Adrian then bought all the broken Ricardos and fixed them and that's where the SLC supply came from. And then...

the doors are tricky beacuse of how many things you're trying to control at once (adequate clearance and good gapping) and how many variables there are (e.g., hinge plate holes in door, strut location on body, etc.). It took me ~4weeks before I was happy with how mine fit.
