Hi Dimi Are you up and registered yet? A friend of mine saw a black GT40 a fews weeks back coming up Flat Rock drive at Northbridge, I thought it might be you. Please give us all an update on your project cheers Stuart

Look forward to your updates each time I Login. The car looks exceptional. So are you building another RF? who are you building it for? cheers Stuart

Thanks for the suggestions guys! Peter D, I've always used equity in property to buy my cars, that's how I got the M5. Unfortunately, the GF thought it was about time that some of that equity be injected back into the house - Yes, the upside is that the house is now worth more, but downside is...

Hi Everyone, Just thought I’d let all those, who spent time providing me with advice on this topic, know what the current situation is… Well the majority of the money I had set aside for the car has now been consumed by house renovations, the girlfriend thought this was a better investment...

I've watched this discussion since I viewed Ross N's footage of him racing at PI and thought, I'd like to ask "why he was using two hands through the left corners" but didn't feel qualified to, more importantly, I knew I wouldn't understand the answer. I'm glad someone asked the question but now...

I must clearly display my L plates here, but to my untrained eyes I can only see 1 big pipe so air jacks would be out, please point out the others I can't see... then again a trained eye would pick up a lot more than someone who has never built a GT40. ...Anyway, Iain I'm sure this will be a...

AWESOME STUFF ROSS! Thanks for the major effort involved in getting the footage to us, loved it! nice stable setup for an in car vid. All the best in chasing the modern era cars down next time, hope to be able to get along to see one... cheers

Really like the wheels! wonder if they fit the DRB setup? The decision making process was been pretty much reached after Peter was kind enough to take me for a spin in his car. I want one! Although I may have to get a trade in to do so, but not on my car! cheers

Hi Tim Awesome work! You'll want to be out driving all the time now to make up for lost time. The car looks surperb, what is the colour red you have used? Simmons wheels as well? cheers Stuart

Hi Pete I believe what Trevor is saying is that YOU the INDIVIDUAL must have "control" of the build you cannot leave the car at a commercial premises and have them produce you a car from scratch, even if they in turn outsource some of the work. YOU can, however, have control of the build and...

Sorry Guys for disappearing there for awhile. Firstly thanks to everyone for saving me all those $$$ because who knows what I might have done without your guidance and this developing discussion which is obviously of interest to those who also may wish to get behind one of these vehicles. Also...

Hi Ron As a new user of the forum I found the GT40 Australia section to be invaluable, if you see my thread regarding getting into a DRB GT40 the information & advice provided in that thread could/should probably used to formulate a Q&A thread on "ICV" vehicles in Aust. Without that section I...

Thanks guys for the open and honest discussion, it's really great coming to a car forum where it's members offer you their time to even give you their advice and opinions. Tim, Pete & Dave, Individually CONTRACTED Vehicle as opposed to Individually CONSTRUCTED Vehicle. It appears, from what...

Hi Dalton Yes I've spoken to the people selling it. The fact it has NO A/C turns me off it. The engine is a Lexus Quad cam with 8 stack injection, while these are awesome engines I think it reduces the cars re-sale value because it's not a Ford engine. The car is also Right Hand Shift which...

...any ideas on who the Stig actually is?

Hi Guy's Thanks for the further responses. Pete & Tim, I've had a brief chat to DRB about a turnkey. They recommend an engineer for compliance in Coffs Harbour. As Pete mentioned they can make it seamless. I'm up on the Gold Coast on 11/5 so I may pop in and have a look. Hi Dave...

Dalton Thanks for that, I have infact had a brief chat with one of the people involved with the sale. After speaking to numerous people on this forum it bacame clear to me that I don't have the skills or machinery to complete a GT40 build. So, I'm now keeping an eye out for completed cars or...

Hi Bill Well it wasn't me although from speaking to the owner it had a lot of interest. I was considering it but i wasn't sure whether RF could modify the chassis for me to allow fitment of a 4.6L or 5.4L motor. I hope someone on here did pick it up as I'm looking forward to another "build...
