My wife, son, and I are planning on going to the Brazil F1 race. My son spent 2 years in São Paulo, so he is fluent in the language and familiar with the local customs. Question, is it that much better to be in the Orange Club than in the stands? With the club, there are pit passes and a lunch...

In the Summer of 2010, I gave Ian the first half down payment for his suspension parts. It was promised to be delivered by October of that year. He asked me if I could give him the second half as delivery of my parts were to be on time. After many months of emails and phone calls with one...

I know there are those that say, bigger is better. Talking to Ian at CAV Canada, he has mentioned that on my CAV, I can upsize my rotors to either 12" or 13". He did mention that going to a 13", though will fit under the 17" rims, may rob horsepower due to weight. I do track this car, just...

I will be taking off my 225 17 and 335 17's michelins for something agressive and am thinking of either the toyo or the hoosier in the 245 17's for the front and 315 17's for the rear. I do run the toyo R888 on my corvette, but am leaning to the Hoosiers. Thoughts? Yes, I did a search to...

Here is a link to a car that I came across that has something that I havn't seen before. It appears to be some kind of cable accuated shifter for the ZF 5 speed. I wonder if the shifting would be faster as you still need to use the clutch. AutoTrader Classics - 1966 Ford GT40-Replica Coupe...

Why would CAV install Facet Fuel Pumps which flows 35 GPH when most engines we will put into these machines require closer to 100GPH? My local Napa dealer looked at the pumps and they said that "we see these on forklifts". I was wondering why I was leaning out at higher rpm and further research...

I had the GT40 at a dyno a few weeks ago. It really leaned out badly above 4250 rpm. I didn't have my extra jets thinking that I needed larger jets. A thought came to mind which was that maybe I didn't have enough fuel flow to the carbs. I just tested the regulator and it was set to 2 lbs...

The mirrors that came with my car are woefully inadequate. I don't know where they came from or who made them, however their 1" x 2 1/2" is just ridiculous. I have done research on the site here and have come up with two styles that I like alot. I would like honest opinions of each of the...

A special thank you for all of the help that I have received from the forum members. 3 years ago I purchased a CAV with the ZF. It has taken all most this whole time sorting it all out. As of this morning, I was committed to sell my GT40 and purchase an '07 Porsche GT3RS. I had come to the...
