Bill, Personally I don't own a gun. I do support peoples right to bear arms. I grew up on a farm and hunted most of my life. I support it because making a law that says you cannot have them only empowers the criminals. They aren't suddenly going to obey the law and give up their guns. Knowing...

GOX has a steel spider option. Don't know if they would sell just the spider or not. Jim

Why not if you know someone with a car for sale inform them of an excellent place to advertise their car for a very small price. Explain how it is probably one of the best places to advertise their car for a quick sale. Then the seller gets the benefit of potential sale, site gets support...

At the time I got those prices the dollar was much stronger and it would have been in the 50K range. I thought his space frame kits of 10k, 12.5k and 16k were quite reasonable. Especially the 3rd which has wilwood brakes complete, steel roof, A and B pillar. I still think there is a market...

Goran quoted me a price a while back when I asked on both his mono and space frame. Quite good value untill the dollar plunged. I am sure if anyone contacted him he could quote a firm price now. I talked with him when he was still getting things firmed up. 400,000 to 500,000 SEK. Then the dollar...

You should have to deal with the Thailand "duty". They can charge over 300% even on a used car. The real catch is they value the car when it arrives. If youdont want to pay the duty you lose the car. I am still looking at the way to register a kit. Importing parts has only a 30% duty.

Peter, Wow glad you can see the good in the days events. The large Scotch sounded quite nice. Jim N

If light is the name of the game have a look at a VW. I have one I used from my off road racer. 200+ hp and tons of torque. I was told 300 ft lbs. It is very light and compact. 2670cc, porshe heads, billet crank, dry sump, MOTEC fuel injected. The Toyota 3sgte is an excellent engine also...

Ref Wyoming, Maybe not sand buggies but off road racing is far more brutal on a trans than a road car. Using a Porsche transaxle even heavily modified has to rebuilt often and then may not last. The races we run can be hours and the tires biting thru the whoops and from jumps is like a drag...

The reason I was thinking about a motorcycle engine is that a friend in Australia I used to race off road with built an off road racer with a motorcycle engine. He used a starter motor for the reverse also. The only thing was the carrier was a locked diff I believe. I will have to get him to...

Fran, These are truely pieces of art. Is it possible to use a motorcycle engine like a Suzuki Hayabusa with a sprocket carrier holding the inner CV joints? What does the Roadster weigh as a roller? Thank you Jim Nielsen

I have had several bikes over the years also. I had a 71 CB750, 70 Honda CBX, a Suzuki GS1000S Wes Cooley rep with a turbo, a 86 GSXR750R limited and I now have 2 vmax's and my ProStock Chassie Suzuki dragbike. A few others. I love to ride

Lets see the Iraq way of life. Medical supplies to few, no schooling, fresh water to onliy a few, cell phones not existent, the ability to speak you mind punishable by death. Now they are getting medical supplies, schools, playgrounds, fresh water, the cell phone industry is booming there...

Lynn, I would probably be better off having it professionally done but I really enjoy doing things myself. I am working to many hours to do things now but I am hoping to start soon and want to learn as much as I can. Great to avoid the pitfalls I can because I am sure I will mess up enough...

All, I have seen the GOX kit offers a steel center body section. Is there any difficulties with paint finish since part of the car is steel and part fiberglass? What is the difference in the preparation of the two? Thank you Jim

Does this just remove air from the rear of the heads or does coolant flow also help to releave a hot spot? If it is just for air removal and you dont want to run all the lines you can just tap the holes in the intake and put bleeders. When you fill the coolant system you then crack these...

Russ, I hope your coments were quickly written and not thought out. Think of the people on this list who have helped others and never asked for anything, I know when I lived in Australia I fought bush fires to save peoples homes I never even knew and never asked for anything. Proud to say...

I am told the GOX from Sweeden is a copy of the original mono. Jim

Ron, I would suggest mounting the compressor outside and build a shelter over it. It is much quieter and doesn't use any inside work space. Also on the concrete I highly recommend using the fiberglass in it. It usually does not cost much extra to add but the strength increase is nice...

Can someone give me the total length and width of the GT40? Thank you Jim
