On my car, there's a small amount of play in the front clip when you grab the radiator opening and lift. It's just enough to make the metal to metal contact between the rollers and their holders clatter when you jiggle the clip up and down. Can that be adjusted out? Also, the fit between the...

I'm having a debate with myself about tires. I was at the track the other day and the most often heard discussion was about tires. With a MkII car, what 17" wheels are available and what size tires will fit the car? It seems the only decent tires in 15" size are Avons and I'm looking for...

I'd like to convince a local airport manager to turn the the town's small airport into a race track for a day. I've heard of clubs having done it before but I don't know what airports those may have been. Do any of you know of one? Thanks

I know I've seen something about using all of the gas out of the tanks but I can't find the thread. What's the fix? I'm only using about 15 gallons before it doesn't suck anymore. And THAT sucks! Suggestions?

Senna. Two thumbs up. Five stars. Available to stream on Netflix.

On a left drive SPF, have any of you installed a dead pedal?

Anyone know a good source for parts for a Series 1 ZF? I'm looking for the cone that's part of the 2nd gear sychro. Thanks.

Here's a fun little video: Contour | Stories | NSWMRC 2010 Rnd3 R3 EC Anyone recognize the GT40?

I have a hard time limiting myself to a single 50 mile lap over mountain roads, and just once a week. My parents used to complain about me that I have no discipline but I think that when I'm able to so restrict myself, I prove them wrong. Being an adult, however, I don't really feel obliged to...

How often do you wear ear plugs in your GT40 when you're driving on public roads? I wear them every time.

I should probably start taking care of the chips. Can anyone supply the paint code for yellow? Much appreciated.

Does anyone have drawings for a car jack? I'd like to fabricate one but save some time on the planning phase. Thanks, John

Rumor has it that "Go Like Hell," the book by A.J. Baime, may be made into a movie. Michael Mann is said to be the producer with Brad Pitt and Josh Brolin named as drivers. But who's going to play John Surtees and Enzo Ferrari? Who would be good as Henry? Should the foreign speakers in the...

The light on the A/C switch in the door doesn't come on when when I hit it. The A/C doesn't come on either. The switch is good but that's as far as my troubleshooting has gone. Recommendations for further investigations? Thank you kindly. -John

In studying the (useless) wiring diagram from SPF, I see there are two alleged HVAC blower motors. But where is the switch to activate them?

The wiring diagram in the owner's manual is, perhaps, the worst I've ever seen. It's nearly impossible to understand. Does anyone have a useful diagram that shows switch connections and wire colors? Thanks.

I have to admit that I've always been skeptical of the unintended acceleration claims that have popped up since, when was that, the '80s? Anyhow, it happened to me yesterday. I was doing some spirited driving on a twisty road. I had recently had the car tuned and had been in the high rpm...

Hard to imagine the amount of force one can produce in just under 4 seconds. There are no rockets or airplanes built by any government in the world that can accelerate from a standing start as fast as a Top Fuel Dragster or Funny Car! DEFINITION OF ACCELERATION...

I've made my way to some pretty good videos from gt40s.com and I thought, hmmmm, maybe like the jokes thread we can have videos thread, keep the videos kinda organized. Sam the Bellhop: YouTube - awesome card trick - Sam the Bellhop
