Bit of a surprise here... The fellow who bought the 2023 Z06 from me called me yesterday to report he had crashed the car. Apparently went off the road at high speed and the car is a write off. He was asking me if I had some of the original purchase documentation (window sticker, orig...

You won't be disappointed with RCR. Fran has been making excellent products for a very long time and is well respected in the GT40 community and elsewhere. Personally, I liked the CAV product because of the stainless steel chassis. Exquisite welds and craftsmanship. Not sure if it's still...

Hello Gents, bit of a weird one here. In going through a very large inventory of car stuff there's an extensive inventory of NOS tires (about 100 or so). Mostly Pirelli along with a mix of Michelin, Avon, etc. There's 5 NOS (never mounted) Pirelli CN36's which are all 175/70/13. They have...

Jfeds, yes, it's a very limited market for good GT40 replicas. There are many good brands/sources - Superformance, RCR, CAV, etc. - however, at any one point in time it's a very limited supply. I believe demand has gone up over time as well. Movies like Ford v. Ferrari have increased the...

Thank you Gents, those are some good suggestions. I'm really looking for some track-only/R compound tires. I have street tires that came on the car (2024 C8 stingray) which are the Michelin Pilot Sport all season I believe. The track tires would be for the 1-2 track days I might do per year...

Quick update here fellas. Picked up the 2024 Stingray and have been driving it a bit. Very impressed with the car. Unfortunately, the Seattle area dealer I left a deposit with couldn't get the car in stock for about 8 months..... I'm 56 and a cancer survivor. Not waiting 8 months. Very...

Just wondering what folks might recommend for a good track-only tire. My new weekend ride has staggered 19/20 Michelin pilot sport all-season tires (245 F, 305 R). Great tires. I'm just looking for a track day tire to mount on an extra set of stock/OEM wheels - prefer not to burn up my...

The Advantage list is definitely well built....everything fits well and it goes together very precisely. It's much better made than the other China-made 4-post I bought for my home garage about 10 years ago. I was just under the impression the Advantage was made in America. No so...

I thought this Advantage lift was made in the USA. Nope. Dang. Didn't do my research properly. We need to get American manufacturing back on track. Start with 20% import tariffs on Chinese made goods......

Little bit of an update here. Chevy wasn't accepting orders on C8's during the strike apparently. That seems to be resolved so now the order can go in on this one. Couple last minute changes - added the sport exhaust and the low spoiler/splitter. 2024 MSRP is up a bit to roughly $70,000...

Here's how you fit five cars, a ski boat, motorcycle and tools in an (oversized) residential three car garage.... Just installed an Advantage Lifts 9000HD lift in my home garage. Very impressed with the quality and safety features of this lift. The whole thing is very solidly made and well...

There's some important differences about EV fires v. ICE. EV fires can't be put out with water...in fact, that's likely to make it worse. Lithium reacts with water extremely aggressively. Other containment methods are not very effective as the "fire" is really a self sustaining chemical...

Quick update here gents. I've spent a ton of time going through automotive stuff - cars, parts inventory, whole facilities basically. I've sold a lot of nice cars this year...over 50 so far. Last week the 1939 Alfa 6C was sold to a very well known collector. The car had a very interesting...

Yes, absolutely right....unfortunately. That would be like Fred Flinstone trying to perform brain surgery....

Yup, exactly, I won't be trusting fuel injection pressure to a clear plastic type fuel filter..... Unfortunately, no schrader valves. The early motronic and CIS just wasn't that way. I'll keep looking for some kind of clear/visible fuel filter capable of FI pressures, but like you've...

Gents, Quick question here... I'm having to resurrect a large number of cars after some years of slumber. Most are vintage/carbureted cars but a few are newer cars that are fuel injected. The older/carb cars are fairly easy - soak a bit of magic oil in the bores for a while, git a new...

Barry, you might try bumping the fuel pressure up 5psi. I run all my webers at 5-5.5psi and that seems to work well. I assume you have the brass floats? Have you checked them? If the carbs are the original 1960's carbs to the car then there's a chance the floats are no longer...well...

Amazing thing. Could use an exhaust manifold....or two..... Somewhat bigger than the 3 or 4 Fiat 600 and 850 engines I have laying around.

Haasman, contact Kenney Engineering. They can help advise and supply parts for 01E applications to American V8's. www.kennedyeng.com

Quick update here gents. While I really wanted a GT40 (preference would be CAV), I found current prices on a decent car to be in the $100,000-$120,000 range. That's a lot to spend on a car, especially since the CAV I bought some years back was only $57,000 at the time. I like wrenching on my...
