Re: RCR40 0046 for sale The buyer is not what I would call computer literate! But I am going to try to stick around and post updates as I get them.

SOLD! End of an 9 year+ era for me. I just want to take a post and thank everyone from Ron to all the members for making this entire experience even possible. No way I could have done it alone. Such great folks here, such incredible talent. My car is headed to a very worthy new owner...

Mark, I never spent much time with it on track. I did not have a rear roll bar, and I feel the understeer was pretty significant with the front bar in place. It also seemed to keep the front end from being quite as smooth. The car doesn't have a lot of suspension travel, and the center of...

Re: RCR40 0046 for sale SOLD! Headed to Connecticut where I know it is going to get all of the attention it deserves, including track time! Big thanks to everyone here for everything over the last 8+ years!

Re: RCR40 0046 for sale Hey Steve, in VA you can register as year it emulates, and this is what I did. So it is registered as a 1965. Generally I think that makes it easier to get things done in most states. Seems it's always a bit of a pain to get the i's dotted and t's crossed with these...

Re: RCR40 0046 for sale I have had a few calls looking for low prices, and I would only say that it's not yet a fire sale, and if I can't sell this car in 2016 during the 50th anniversary with all of the hoopla that Ford is going to be doing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dybDQgugbE0

The most inspiring part of the new GT is that it appears Ford started this process a long time ago, and the plan has been to win LeMans in class the first outing at the 50th. And if they can do that - which is no mean feat - it won't matter if the GT is powered by a family of lemmings. At...

Mark, No, and actually, I recently undid the front sway bar. Originally I thought the car would need the anti-sways and I was concerned it would be scary tail-happy without some front bar to dial in some understeer. I think the car really feels more alive with the front bar unhooked. There...

Re: RCR40 0046 for sale Yes, it was the 8-stack. I mean you gotta have stacks!!!

Re: RCR40 0046 for sale Mark, It took a great deal of planning and work to get the Ricardo in there, it is a tight fit. But the results were worth it to me. It really is the reason for the engine selection, as it is more compact than the Ford motors. (That and I believe if you want an...

Reluctantly selling 7 years of work, RCR 0046. This is a unique build, please see build thread here: http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/24421-j-salmon-rcr-40-build.html In a nutshell, I built this car to be a great driving GT40 replica with modern performance but 1966 aura. All...

I would think the 500+ hp GT350 motor would suit the purpose just fine. Or you could have two models, one with that and one with the supercharged plant from the expected GT500.

I did a similar modification to my cage also, but I am getting ready to delete the front portion of the cage. Despite a 6-point harness super tight, I can still just get my head to touch the front hoop (the center is not a problem). Granted, that is with dual density foam, but I think on the...

Dare I say... I think it's done! It took a custom heat shield and header wrap, but the transaxle is now happy. I had no idea how much the front clip moved about until I added some additional fasteners to keep it from wobbling. It's almost too little drama: it's starts and runs smooth...

I have fans but I have not been running them. I had thought I might need them in stop and go traffic, but the car has only been running around back roads. I have zero engine temp issues, with water and oil staying nice and stable. I also get very little heat into the cockpit, so I had taken...

I think heat could be the issue. I have the biggest cooler I think will fit, it's the same one the GT guys use. I honestly don't know how you could hook it up wrong: it's 2 fittings and a cooler. I have some heat shield coming. I will blanket the top of the tranny and see if that helps.

I did add a cooler. But when I looked Saturday (trans was warm) it's not like fluid came all pouring out of the hole.

I have thought of going to a catch can, because I don't have any other choice at this point. But anybody know why it would be doing this? It's not overfilled. Heat? I have some extra heat shield material inbound. I am worried there is some internal passage blocked off or something. My...

I am running the Ricardo in my RCR40 (and not too many folks are using the Ricardo there). I have always had fluid blowing out the vent. I added a cooler, no difference. I started with the factory vent, at the end of every drive there is transaxle fluid running down onto the floor. I decided...
