Johan, A friend of mine and a past IMSA driver just bought a T70 spyder. I think he is planning on going to Rd America in a few weeks with us. I hope to bring my Cheetah too. See you there I hope! Casey Putsch

Thanks guys, He made the deal on a great T70 Spyder today. Hopefully will see some of you at the Lola reunion in a few weeks at Rd America. I may bring my Cheetah too! Casey

Hi guys, A racer and friend of mine is looking for an open cockpit real T70 or McLaren, etc to vintage race. If anybody has one they would part with or know of any, please let me know. My thanks, Casey Putsch

Hi guys, I want to clearify one detail of the car. After meeting with Bob Mckee, and looking closer at small chassis details, it turns out the car is in fact the MK3 and not the MK1. Still quite an interesting car historically speaking. I think it did rather well considering it was completely...

Here's a picture of my CAV with the Lambo guys. The CAVs exhaust/engine made me feel self-conscience and like I was around a bunch of stock Hondas while it was idling in this picture.

Hey guys, I should likly keep this as a secrete, but I thought I would share. My AAZ audi tansaxle recently failed and I needed something to get by. I found a Diesel 016 Audi and while it has a 4.11 rather than a 3.89 like the AAZ, it has a taller 3rd, 4th, and 5th. In 5th I have a 500 rpm...

Mine broke 3 teeth off the pinion just pulling away from a light slowly. I think those 5,000 miles of the previous owner took their toll. I did get e new transaxle in before the Lambo cruise though. Made me feel like a bull in a China shop with those guys. We had fun.

Hey guys, Where does one get syncros, seals, and such for our 016 Audi transaxles? Casey

ok, so I found the serial number on the top of the bellhousing. I wasn't seeing it anywhere and wondered what I was missing. Thanks, Casey

Ok, So where is the serial number on the 016 that have the "prefix" letters, so I know what exactly I have? Casey

Hello, Thanks for the help guys. It is very tempting to get a refurbished one with the LSD. However, I'm unsure if I can be happy with this gearbox in the long run and am not sure if I want to invest in a $2000-$3000 unit rather than experiment with a cheaper one. I'll give you guys a ring...

Hey guys, I thought I posted this today, but I don't think it worked. My Audi 016 transaxle failed and I need to get another. I am located in NW Ohio. I'm not exactly made of money at the moment, but obviously need to figure something out. Thanks, Casey

Yes, I thought about that. The clutch engagement was putting an impacting into the drivetrain that I'm sure didn't help. Also, I cannot verify how the car was driven for those 5,000 miles before me. I did hear the builder say they took it to 7000rpms many times in 1st and 2nd. The car is...

Hi guys, Well my Audi transaxle failed. I have the 016 5 spd. Judging by how the car acted and what I have read, I think the case broke away as they all do. However, mine broke as I pulled away slowly. Go figure. Anyone have any leads on where I can get another? I think I will make a...

Well crap! Mine broke. I have 480hp I bought my car with 5,000 miles already on it. I put on 1,000 miles I have never poped the clutch and don't get on it in first. Mine broke while I was pulling away from a stop light like a grandmother. Go figure. I think it was the case that broke...

Hello Everyone, August 16th is the Horsepower for History Concours d'Elegance in Tiffin, Ohio. It will be a fun evening in the park with live music, antique crystal awards, museum displays, italian food, new Mercedes displays, evening police escorted cruise through town, etc...

Thanks Johan, I think I am going to go 15x8 or 8.5 and 15x12. I'll get them in the Torq Thrust wheels like would be on the McKee. It will be interesting to see what people say when they see a Lola with "hot rod" wheels on it. See you this summer. Casey

Hi Johan, Well, the McKee chassis, suspension, and drivetrain is unaltered from original. In the future, if I do a correct one-off McKee aluminum body, I'd like it to be correct. I am trying to see if I can get away with running McKee sized wheels whithout looking goofy on the Lola body...

Thanks guys, I am restoring that McKee MK1 Chevette that currently has a Lola T70 MK3 coupe body on it. Since the McKee's body was a one-off aluminum affair that is long gone, I am going to do a mechanical restoration on it and run the Lola body this year. I would like to run the wheels...

Hello all, Does anyone know the original sizes for Lola T70 wheels? Were the early spyders 15x8f and 15x10r? I imagine the later Mk3b coupes were wider. Are they? Thanks, Casey
