Hey everyone. I thought you might be interested in the work that has gone into completing a Superformance GT40. The work we completed was due to it being necessary, by choice, or required for compliance. Changes to GT40 New Door locks, and fabricate pull down handles Steering column made into...

Firstly, love your work and I’m glad RCR is busy. I have some questions for your 917 upgrades which were sent in an email on Feb 8, 2023 via Ric Hartnett. We have since rung and left a message on your answer phone too. Are you able to find the email and respond. I’d appreciate it. It was sent...

Hi Gary. I was wondering whether you had received the TSC40 package yet? Cheers.

Welcome Gary. Good to have another Kiwi here and another GT40 making its way to NZ shores. I keep a registry of GT40’s and owners in NZ only, and currently have records for 45. You’ll find some great info and clever heads in these pages.

As some of you may know, I have been collecting information on all GT40's in NZ. I began this in March 2020. It's actually been very rewarding making contact with the owners. There's such a wealth of scratch-built talent here in NZ. Here is the breakdown so far Total cars = 25 Consists of...

Hi everyone. I have for a while now been compiling a list of GT40s in NZ. If you have a GT40, be it an unfinished project, a track car, or a registered car, I would love to hear from you. I’m only really after 6 items, being a name, a general area or city, MKI etc, motor, trans, and a photo if...

A little video from youtube. Ford GT40 Heffner GT-1000 vs Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 - YouTube Foreign soundtrack. I'd be interested to know what they are saying. :thumbsup: Cam

"I'll bet you guys $5 each these cars will be third last, second last, and last."

The car looks great and in excellent condition. Congrats on your purchase. Cam Auckland, NZ

Just a quick message to fellow Kiwis that there will be some GT40s at Hampton Downs for the NZ Festival of Motor Racing celebrating Chris Amon. It takes place this weekend, 21-23 Jan 2011, and again on the following weekend, 28-30 Jan 2011. I reckon last year's event to celebrate Bruce...

Nice work. Looks like you owe that man a beer! PS Took my old classic truck for a run recently and it broke down when the MSD coil failed. Rang home for another and while I waited for it to arrive, there was a steady procession of people stopping and seeing if they could help. It was a...

Russ and Lim Very sorry to see your pride and joy in that state. At least Russ you survived with injuries you can recover from which is, I guess, the most important thing. I wish you a speedy and full recovery. I know that everyone in this forum will be feeling for you right now and out...

A little update: There were two aftershocks during the night last night, 5.2 and 5.4. Some buildings that were previously given the okay are now being reassessed due to the continued quakes. Seismologists have stated that traditionally the biggest aftershock is normally around 1 pt less than...

Most of my immediate family live in Christchurch. My sister had a hole open up on her lawn, and a mountain of sand got pushed up followed by a large amount of water which flooded the backyard, then it all got sucked back again and the yard now looks relatively normal again. Weird. My heavy 6...

and the law won... Anyone else drive their Ford GT like this? YouTube - Cops Chase Ford GT Cam Auckland, NZ

I think Ron that here in NZ at least, the Porsche fraternity wouldn't be seen dead with a 944 or its variant. Too cheap for their liking me thinks - which means commoners like me could afford one. The Horror...!

Chris, have you ever counted how many fingers they wave you off with. Is it five or much less than five?:wiseguy: I live in a house up a 100m long driveway that must pass about 8 houses before you make it to the road. On a Sunday morning I don't take anything out that will wake the...

Hi Paolo Nice photos. Did you manage to get any pics of the engine bay area? I haven't seen the chassis plate in the position behind the driver as shown in the photo above. Is that normal or has the owner moved it there? Regards Cam Auckland, NZ
