So, I sheared the input shaft of my bastardised 944 S2 (3L Motor version) tansmission the other day. It lasted 5 years of hard competition work, so can't complain really. Was hoping it was clutch splines that went, but no luck... So, ideally I want a 944 S2 input shaft. I can then get that...

So, all was going well at the July McRae Rallysprint until I threw it into the gate on the last corner. Damp day and trying to beat all the 4WD rally cars leaves less margin for error than I allowed for! Don't try this at home... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9T3D--OWf0 Turns out...

Had a great time at the McRae Rallysprint (Yes, the Scottish McRae rally legends, Alistair, Colin, Jimmy) about a week ago. Co-Driver brought the Go-Pro and we got some good footage. Car went hard with no issues all day and we did well, best ever placing. Three different views - course run in...

Couple of clips of my gt40 at racewars. YouTube search racewarstv. Sorry, me not know how to link. There is also an in car 1000m standing start video I did, search 200MPHGT40

Finally got around to uploading recent (Sept 10 - present) in car videos from hillclimbs and circuit sprints. Car is DRB#67 GT40. I'm finally getting on top of a few problems and getting some speed and consistancy out of it, which makes a nice change! My lovely work computer blocks youtube, so...

Picture taken at Australian Festival of Speed, last Sunday. 599 Fiorano, 430 Scuderia and 458 Italia are all trucks by comparison! Supercar cup consisting of Cobras (+ GT40), Corvette, Ferrari and Porsche was run and won as it was in the day - GT40 first!

I'm having trouble sorting out a couple of things in my GT40 motor, which I'm starting to thing are related. I use my 40 for sprints and hillclimbs. Only three events this year due to trans issues. Not fun. Anyways, just completed a circuit sprint on the weekend and it seems there is a pattern...

Well, Finally managed to get to an event this year and in-car footage is on youtube on below link. Went well considering I haven't driven there in over 5 years and still a bit of setup work to do to get front end to bite (6th overall, see www.classicrally.com.au Aug 8 superkhana for the...

Managed to get a loud bang, followed by unhappy noises as I coasted to a stop the other day. My Audi 016 in my DRB GT40 is now not happy, and neither am I! Will pull the trans on the weekend and have a look, but I'm not optimistic about what I'll find. It was toughened up with a case stiffening...

Hi all, Just managed to make the 016 trans in my DRB GT40 go bang, just after I got the motor tuned happily on the dyno. Made 386 RWHP on a hot day, so happy with motor, not so with gearbox! Anyways, point being, I need to find another trans that is tough enough to deal with that power on...

Hi, Some photos taken of my DRB GT40 at a hillclimb a couple of weeks ago. Course was very tight at the top, but still did well for it's first hillclimb. 12th outright and 1st in class. Mostly beaten by 4WD's and open wheeler hillclimb racers. I'll get them, after a slow and expensive (no...

Just posted on youtube a couple of videos of DRB #67 at the WA Sprint Championship that was held on Sunday just gone. Was the first time I've been able to start to push the car reasonably hard. Went well enough, but a long way to go. Had a top end misfire at around 6500 RPM and needs a fair...

Some pics of a cruise combining Ford's 60's road and race cars. Was a good day all round. The 40 finally clocked up some driving without many problems, wow! Mundaring pub run - Club Cobra

Some in-car footage of the first competition event for 200MPH. Only managed 3 runs before the alternator decided it would stop charging when hot and make horrible noises! That plus an oil leak (suspected at dipstick insert to front cover) put a premature end to the day's precedings. Driver is...

Finally got DRB #67 GT40 on the road on Sunday. Been over a year since I last drove it home from road registration inspection. Sigh... Video link attached. Now just gotta get the rest of the bits bolted to it. Then hit the track and find out how it handles. Drives very well on the road, but that...

Well, after much fooling about and much spent, my proper motor is finally done and ready to go in to the 40. I've had my DRB GT40 registered for nearly a year and not driven it since rego as it was built initially to get through registration requirements with a suitable motor and I have since...

Hey all, After the chassis/body turned up some 13 months ago, DRB GT40 chassis #67 passed final registration inspection today! Finally got to attach custom plates to the intended car. Me very happy, depite getting rained on a bit during the morning I spent in line. Funnily enough it rained...

Just thought I'd share a few pics of the DC&O injection setup that arrived today. Very plesant distraction from work it was! Just gotta build a motor to do justice to it now...oh, and get car registered, and...etc.

I need to buy an LSD for my Audi 016 and it seems the Quiafe ATB unit is the go. Either that or a Porsche 944 turbo diff, which I understand to be a direct swap for the 016 diff. I'm pretty sure that the Quaife ATB diff for the Audi 016 is QDF4Q. Quiafe list this part for both the 944 turbo...

Well, after nearly a year in the build, DRB #67 hit the road for the first time last weekend. Wasn't a real exciting drive, but was nice to verify that it all worked as it should, clutch notwithstanding. Plan was to drive it to workshop for wheel alignment first thing, but clutch decided not...
