    GT40 side impact protection

    Gents, I was wondering if anybody has some nice photos of rollcages welded into GT40 replica frames? I think the original GT40 chassis as well as most of the replicas off the shelf would have fairly poor side impact characteristics - I have not noticed any intrusion bars built into the doors...

    GT40s on HOT ROD TV

    Coolest thing I have seen for a while! http://youtu.be/v7TdTk-7KoU "These cars are every bit as nice as the original, but they don't cost as much as the original, why not spend 1/10 of the money and have something that's faster ..." "...they're better than the original, because they have...

    Will there be any GT44 / GT replicas?

    Engine for my 1972 Holden HQ 1 Tonner [Australia]

    Hello everyone! I've been thinking about upgrading my ute with a new engine but am uncertain where to go. I need more horses to pull my wagon! The 308 Holden engine that is in it now has got about 220 hp only. I'm in Australia and crate engine suppliers over here are limited. As far as I...

    Endless Piston Rings for Internal Combustion Engines!

    Hey there, I wonder if anyone knows how an "endless combustion ring" looks like. WEINECK engines claim on their website (in "Our Engines, tab 2") that, in contrast to other manufacturers, only use "endless piston rings", preventing blow by! Weineck I can't imagine how this is going to work...
