Adam, do you mind telling me where this car went? I was the second owner and would like to reacquire. Thanks

The guys who store my ERA in Houston freshened this up for auction (and I think had a significant financial interest). Is/was a beautiful car in person.

With regards to the 915 gearbox in a lightweight 400hp car, you'll have no problem. You'll have so much tire in the back it'll be interesting to see how acceleration from a start is. If you look around a bit you can find a later 915 with a factory built in aux cooler (euro 911's in the early...

Tom, Did you ever sell the ERA? I have a ERA GT I'm thinking about selling and wanted to make sure the market isn't crowded (with 2 it would be). Best, Chuc

how much for the lola wheels? Thanks, Chuck [email protected]

Dave's right. We have the vapor collectors here in Houston and on my ERA if I flip it so the nozzle is inverted so the handle is pretty much vertical, it wont kick the shut-off. But, still slow going. Chuck

Here's an old dyno run on my car right after I started driving it. 330ci with 4 webers in high humidity. YouTube - gt dyno run

Was helping a buddy with pads and rotors today on his 993 and with a 17 inch wheel we had about 10-12 mm at the rim and the output spline in/out movement was unmeasurable given what we had laying around but I'd say it was negligible. Is the through bolt in the output shaft tight? Splines in...

I'd guess (after a year plus absence from the fun auto world - been E55'ing overseas) that they are going to use a 915 series porsche trans and recc the use of the factory or better cooler with a lsd. Flipping the ring gear is easy in these boxes and they bolt up to all the easy access 911...

Drove a few beck spyders They are a blast and a bargain to drive. The Thunderranch cars are a cointinuation of Beck's program (or licensed or some such) and have received some well thought improvements I have heard. Another nice feature is that these can be driven pretty sedately if your just...

Mmmmm, Elle. The most trouble I ever got into for buying a Sports Illustrated issue was due to a picture of Elle in the swimsuit edition. I wonder if she's too tall to sit in a Gulf colored GT? A Porsche Cayman brochure that I saw pushed the Porsche racing heritage to new highs. But the...

A head on picture from Concorso Italiano http://www.speedsportlife.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=2212&cat=670 I'd certainly prefer that car or the pure silver for a daily driver over most of the other colors I have seen. Too bad the dealer's are such wanks about these. They'll suffocate...

Re: Graham Turner\'s GT40s Graham, No building gt40's until you start duplicating 917's! You can't leave us 917 fans at the mercy of the guys from down under. Chuck I call Graham on my nickel (or that was about $50 US by the time I was done, but he saved me from spending many times that on a...

Re: Someone buy it already or quit listing it! There was not a recent dyno run available for this car a few months ago. Non-stainless chassis. Narrow body. Good paint. A/C never charged. Suspension setup by a competent race shop but using spring rates higher than ERA recommends. Seller...

Jim, So how do you choose which car to drive when you get to the garage? Absolutely incredible piece of history. The pdf is spellbinding. Its especially good to see the chassis end up in the hands of an owner who will exercise the machinery rather than lock it away in a museum. That's what...

I guess I'd add that the ALMS cars are really built for hp and not torque. They adjust the gearing for the track and getting the acceleration curve where the engine is most responsive. Now I'd also bet that Steve's advise was relative to his Porsche experience on street cars too. The...

Re: RF Delivery - I\'m exicted! Congrats on the coming delivery. So your putting a fire system in th RF now? Hope you are well. Chuck

Re: RF52 Looks great Pat. That color combination is outstanding. Can't wait to see it in person. Best, Chuck Ward

Graham, Just saw the post or would have replied further. All the 901 and 915 boxes were easy to swap the differential on. The g50 is a problem. There is clearly inadequate room without machining on the non-opening side. Worst, the rough measurements we did one indicated parts of the...
