The flex that the original poster mentioned, and what I'm talking about, is the flexing that would happen from movement. If placed over the spring, the cylinder becomes a stationary object, instead of moving up and down as the wheel moves up and down. In any case, Fran said that it can be place...

Allen, I'll be calling Fran with my list as soon as one of my CDs matures. I think it was discussed in the original question back on page 1, but it seems to me that placing it at the top of the spring would make the hydraulic cylinder essentially become part of the upper shock mount. I don't...

I looked on the RCR and Superlite cars websites and found no mention of these hydraulic lifts, as in, pricing per unit or per pair. A previous question went unanswered, that being, could these units be placed at the top of the spring instead of underneath the spring? I'm getting real close to...

Per the Race Car Replicas - 586-329-1573 - Superlite cars website, "Functional roof scoop feed cabin with aircraft style vents" -- I think that means that the cabin is fed via the vents, not the motor.

I'm talking the entire motor, ready to run, and not just the short block. If you're going to turbo the rotary, then the turbos and the exhaust manifold would be part of the motor weight as well, if you wanted to compare apples to apples. I've read about several LS1 into RX7's and the reports...

Yeah, I was going to say that Dave is short selling the LSx motor. Guys with stock cubes are getting 500+ rwhp with a 6-speed and if you bump it up to 400+ cubes, 600+ rwhp is readily available. All in a motor that weighs about 400 lbs. At least in the states they are plentiful and relatively...

The build time is very encouraging indeed. I have a friend who said he not only is willing to help, but actually wants to help with the build. I've worked on cars more than he has, but he's far more meticulous than I am, so I'm going to take him up on his offer. As for the trips to Las Vegas...

Thanks for the info about having it built by parts or whole. I've replaced brake rotors during brake jobs, radiator replacement and water pump replacement, installed long tube headers, and installed a supercharger on my Z06, so I'm pretty sure I have the tools and mechanical skills required to...

It seems like the SL-C is the quickest and easiest build of any of the cars that I'm interested in. Now I just need to finish up my house renovations and cash bleeding :)

Thanks for the tips about storage space and a trip to visit Fran. If I do get a car like this, I'm pretty much sold on the SL-C or an RCR40, but leaning more toward the SLC. I'm finishing up on some house remodeling at the moment -- two bathrooms being redone, all the carpet pulled out and...

That's good to hear, so it might be usable for 300 mile trips after all.

Well, it sounds like any long trips are out, unless I'm willing to just buy clothes at the destination and then either ship them back or trash them at the end :laugh:

Thanks for the replies. Yes, the passenger seat would be occupied by a passenger :thumbsup: I have been thinking of the RCR40 as well, but the SL-C just makes me drool... that the build time seems to be about 2/3rds of the build time of an Ultima GTR is all the more appealing.

Does the SLC have any storage space at all, like the Ultima GTR with its side pod storage bins? I was looking through the photos on the RCR website and I couldn't see any. What about the RCR40 cars... do any of those have any storage space? The reason I ask is that I live in the northern San...
