This is a nice article on the development of the Mono http://www.ict.mistral.co.uk/racing/whomono.pdf I have a had a link to this on my site for some time, I showed it to Peter Ross who worked with Colin Chapman in the Early days. His remark centred around car chassis are very basic compared...

Hi Russ I will try to clarify my point, imagine a car that can have either a Mono or a Spaceframe chassis. Also imagine your paying for labour by the hour. In the UK that could be up to £80 an hour for a body shop. Lets even make the Mono more expensive to manufacture, even though I am not...

Dont leave out the Vikings, they built a mean mono type Boat, first across the Northern Atlantic etc. Only point I would make on the monocoque chassis is if it is damaged beyond repair I believe it would take less time to completly replace than a space frame, no making up ally panels drilling...

Very nice, :pepper:

From a hardware perspective I would ensure that the system designated as a server has a Gigabit LAN card facilitating 1000mb network traffic, Intel 6600 upwards or AMD 4400 both Dual core. SATA Hardrives with bios raid/mirror facility. 2 Gig of Ram. One other consideration would be a decent...

Volume and Quality Control, its my experience they like to make lots of something not limited amounts, I suspect a lot of the component parts would be simple for them but to give you an idea, most looms and such like they will only quote sensible prices on 1000 or more. even then they really...

I have been testing the 64 bit version, on a new Intel 6600 system, driver support is patchy although most have downloadable updates, still failed to get everything running. Not see any real performance increase, so really do wonder what the 64 aspect is actually doing, not like the old DEC...

Oooer check this out eBay.co.uk: FORD GT40 KIT CAR BONITO KIT CAR (item 160095517607 end time 18-Mar-07 12:00:00 GMT) If anyone can make this look more like a GT40 good luck, but I have seen posts asking about these on here before.

Welcome Italo, hope it wont be long before we see some of of your neat design work. rockonsmile Just remember Fords rule, all things non boat anchor V8 are considered girlie, and never ask which transaxle the collective recommend for a mid engined car.:lol: Enjoy

If your looking at finding a box at a scrap yard, the Porsche and ZF options I believe are out, nearly all Porsches are dismantled and the box hardly touches the floor as they are quite sought after. One exception may be the Boxster Gearbox, not used that much by builders and handling 250...

Hi Fran Got any pics of them on the Lola.................. You know what I am gonna ask next dont you...:D

I would keep an eye on the shareware, their are some very cheap Far Eastern copies of the original Girlfriend 1.0 version, they are masquerading versions of Wife 1.0. All seems well for a while then a Trojun fires up called "Marry me Quick I'm up the Duff" normally its too late to uninstall the...

Maybe their are some options on the input shaft seal? perhaps a race application one built to type 2 spec double seal etc. Could a seal company produce these? Does this raise the question of oil viscosity, is a thinner synthetic likely to squeeze past the seal? On the gearset layout I have...

A basic way of achieving the correct level would be with the box in its designed for position, to draw a theoretical horizontal line from the bottom of level bung hole accross to the output drive flanges (90' to the bellhousing face), measure the distance between this line and the centre of the...
