There's a half dozen different charts you can find that all say roughly the same thing - you're fine until about 220. That's where I plan to set my warning alarm. Pete - do you have a cooler for your Graz? Transmission Overheating: Your Worst Enemy - Transmission Repair Guy

Speaking to the person who runs NASA for the Texas Region earlier today - he was familiar with, and complimentary of, the SLC's from his experiences with them in full race trim at the nationals. I'm planning for a more street-oriented build that will see DE and time trial track events; and want...

Thanks Cam! Thanks again for the ride a couple months back! I opted for the race tail and leaning towards the 525 motor, recognizing it might be a little lumpy. I've chatted with Howard a bit via PM... I'll definitely have a few months to visit with him before mine is ready!

By the way, if one's interested in just the cover and lower guide, I happened to buy one while I was trying to pull together pieces for the whole assembly. You'd want to measure the size of the shifter post and there may be some art to how far away from the supplied shifter its mounted to make...

Preston, I think you'll like the R8 shifter - seems, once you get the hang of having to follow the tight patter, everyone loves it. I just hope to be able to make it fit and feel like it's at a natural height (and comfortable to shift). The Weird Shifter That Made Audi’s R8 Sports Car a Legend...

Sure - Best I have of the side

Oh boy... that will be a bummer if it doesn't work. I sprung for the CF interior, and already know the tunnel cover is too narrow and will have to be modified... really hope we can overcome. It's a really neat piece.

Yeah, definitely!

Hi Cam! Definitely loop me in on your plans... it would be neat to have 2 out at the same time. Have a small group that would likely come out with us, that seem to bounce from Chin, MVP, Edge and Safe driver's events. I ordered the car in Ninja Green after seeing how cool Fran's race car...

I've met and talked to several of you, but wanted to take a minute to say hello formally - I've been a lurking member, learning about the Superlite Coupe for about 2 years now. I finally placed an order for my kit earlier this week and am anxiously awaiting my "you're ready" call. Planning to...

Many thanks for that heads up, Mark! Which Graziano box are you running? Did you opt for the pre-2014 trans with a drop-gear? Best, John

I'll definitely share plans broadly once I nail them all down!

I don't think Eric's car would be a good comp for yours - but a good datapoint for a "basic build" undertaken at home. My guess is he had less than 75 in it.

Thanks Mike! Forums are addictive... I hope my hour later time zone makes my log on a little less sad. Happy New Year! Remember, the estimate was prepared by someone who has done over a dozen. But, OK! That would be an interesting datapoint! Happy New Year, everyone - 2016 is going...

Not as optioned as yours, Mike!

Nope, nothing. ... over a dozen cars built by this person now. I think the estimate is pretty good!

Hi Eric, No commentary on what the right price is for Mike's car. It's nice and very well built. That said, I've been pricing out a basic build and your quotes at $95k are very high. Best, John

I'm glad this topic came up, as I've been personally wrestling with the idea of commissioning a build versus buying an existing car. Bill, Thanks for that overview on how an appraiser views such cars - makes sense. From an appraisal point of view on a kit car, how do you factor in things like...

Nice pics! Is that the race wing on the car? Would you mind posting a picture of the rear of the car? Best, John

This isn't a comparison on which car is better. It's my curiosity around contributing factors toward weight. SLC at 2,500 lbs was more weight than I anticipated based on my experience with some other cars. Perhaps not a fair comparison, but I'm not working towards a thesis here. I'm actually...
