Hey guys, I am also keen to hear what has happened to GOX. In 2006, when living in NZ, I ordered a car and placed a fair size deposit with Goran . There was a slight delay before my chassis was started, but once he had begun I ended up with a major change of plans (had to return to China to...

Hi Guys, if anyone in New Zealand is looking for an Audi 016 'box drop me a pm as I have one surplus to requirements. Cheers, Neil T

Hi Andy Must be somehing about China and the GT40. I was working there for a few years and almost daily checked out GT40s.com. Before I came back to NZ I placed an order for a GOX with Goran in Sweden. Unfortunately I have had to postpone my project as I will have to return to China in the...

Hi Guys Heron Cars Just came across the above web page, a quite interesting MK4 rep. I did a search and could not find a mention of it anywhere on this forum, figured you chaps may find it interesting. Cheers Neil_t

About six months ago in China I had a look at a almost perfect copy of this watch (Gulf logo and all). I was tempted, but although I don't mind a replica car, I couldn't bring myself to buy a replica watch. If they had the version with the white face it could have been a different story...

Cheers Bill for the info, glad I didn't buy one without asking advice first (like I usually do). Neil

Thanks for the replies guys, From what i can see they look the same from the outside so i can not imagine they are any weaker on the inside, but still intrested in any other opinions on these boxes. Ian, any info on what you have there would be great, easier to buy new than rebuild. Please...

Plenty of views but no answers:(..... Did I ask a difficult one or is everyone sick of discussing Audi transaxles? Anyone in NZ have any leads on a good 016 or 01E? Cheers Neil

Hi Folks Need a bit of advice re Audi transaxles. Have have searched the forum for answers but could not find exactly what I need to know. I have searched NZ wreckers for a 016 2WD trans without luck. I have found a couple of 016 4WD boxes, but I understand they need quite a bit of mods to...

Hi Paolo Wellington, New Zealand is sunny for a change, so I have just arrived at work in a pretty good mood. Would have been a lot happier if I had arrived in a GT40, but hopefully next year I can! Cheers Neil

Hi John That is a very impressive looking chassis! I'll be sure to pop in to see you when I'm down that way. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get a chance to catch up with another Southlander, Tan Boon Lim who's in Shanghai for a few days. I am all but signed up on one of Goren's cars (spaceframe...

Re: Oliver\'s Porn I think Oliver and our old mate Meat would have gotten on like a house on fire. Cheers, Neil

Hi Ron How close is the colour you have chosen to the colour of the above car? If you have matched this colour because you are trying to replicate the orginal then carry on, and I would suggest the dark wheels too, if not then either way will look good. This really is a awesome combination, one...

Hi Chris If I could afford a mono I would of course go with a local NZ product. But GOX offers a two tier product. The mono and a space-framed version. The latter is very well priced at 130,000SEK for the race kit that comes standard with roll cage, steel roof and pillar sections pre-welded...

Bit more news about NZ (sorry if not quite on topic). I received an e-mail answer from NZ customs. They said as long the kit resembles the basics of a car there is no duty, i.e. NZ has no duty on imported cars. I am not sure if this info helps you Aus guys out in anyway, but its good news for me...

Hi Greg What duty does Aus have? I was checking out NZ's and it looks like 10% import duty and 12% GST. 22% is a large chunk of change. Is Aus less?? Cheers, Neil

I added twice...... I should be banned:) Ironically my first post on Chris's thread was to point out to people who had posted that Chris had requested people not to post. I posted a second time because I felt I needed an answer to an important question (to me anyway) specifically from Chris...

Hi Guys, I have a question regarding the gulf car. In the photo looks like the motor has a single carb but with trumpets go give the appearence of throttle bodies, and I seeing this correctly? Cheers, Neil

Re: Chris Melia\'s Mono \"Raiders of the lost Arc\" Hi Chris It looks like you have powdercoated all of the chassis including the outside surfaces of the roof and pillars. What happens with final painting? Will you remove the coating from these places or can you just paint over top? Cheers, Neil

Cheers for the feedback Espen Thats interesting. Like you say it reduces the options when it comes to lining up all the body panels etc. But really that is kind of cool, seems to make it less (yes this sounds bad) kit car like. With the welded steel floor and welded pressed panels could you...
