    Gota love driving the GT40 to work...

    After fighting with moving my pedals in my CAV for weeks, I finally get everything right last night and drove it in to work today. I have it parked for 5 minutes and a long time customer of mine starts asking loads of questions about it. By the end of our 30min conversation I find out that his...

    Funny story about a GT40

    Own a business in El Cajon, Ca. I have this one customer that has been coming in for 11 years. When we first built my CAV back in 03? My customer told me a story of how his friend's older brother had a real GT40 street car back in the 70's. His brother went off to Vietnam and the car just...

    Pedal update and location on CAV GT40

    So I put the pedals back in. Bolted down. Made a new rod 2.5" longer. Brakes work great, clutch master bleed. Now to the throttle. I had to change the length of the cable. Well...now it hits the tube in the tunnel that the cable runs in. So I had to pull the cable to cut back the sheath...

    Electrical problem with RF light and RR lic plate light...

    It turns out the 1A 2A are the locations in the fuse block. My problem was caused by a wire working it's way out of the back of the fuse block. Got her all fixed and back on the road.

    Pedal update and location on CAV GT40

    UPDATE: So... looks like the pedal set we were given 5 years ago really does not fit at all. It's over to the left too far...the booster rod would be off by 15deg or so. The throttle linkage is not even close. So... we just moved the pedal set that came in the car back 2.5 inches to the...

    Pedal update and location on CAV GT40

    My CAV has always had the pedals too far away for me. I am 5'9 and the car's previous owner was 6'3. So when I purchased the car it came with an updated pedal set from CAV and I thought I would install it tonight. Well... I can see this is going to be a major pain in the A$$. First of...

    Electrical problem with RF light and RR lic plate light...

    So my CAV (#27) is having this problem with the lights. I don't have the RF lower white marker light and the RR license plate light. Did the obvious. Checked the bulbs etc. They have good grounds. Checked the plugs on the front body and no power to the harness for the lights... at the plug...

    Early CAV with 302 crate motor...Audi 5000 5 speed...what should I do???

    What is the exact model application in the USA on that trans? I own a wrecking yard and I have lots of contacts that do Audi. If I don't have to replace the adapter, clutch etc that helps my decision to go Audi. What is the part number or model number we need to find. What part of the US...

    Early CAV with 302 crate motor...Audi 5000 5 speed...what should I do???

    So, I just picked up a CAV from a friend. I helped build it 7-8 years ago. Right now it has the 302 Ford Motorsport motor (300+ hp) and the Audi 5000 5 speed. The gear ratios suck. 3000rpm at 70 or what ever it is just bumms me out on long trips. What can I put in that does not cost 10K. I...
