Out for a test drive yesterday and ran out of gas on the interstate. Gage was reading 1/2. Luckily, I was only a couple miles from home and was able to get my wife to bring my Colorado with a tow strap to get the car home (AAA is useless, as they refuse to use a tow strap and their rollbacks...

Actually got to take a ride in a factory Manta when I was stationed in San Diego around 1983! It made quite an impression:) I still have the brochures.

Good visual on the height delta next to classic cars:

I went with a camera rearview mirror setup as the fender mirrors are useless:)

Brian, The Google translator converted it to this: Hi here at the bread roll fetch at my bakery the ride on the road is a challenge with a lola with 580 hp you can only see what in the back and on the side you can see nothing at all greetings meinolf Jim

Brian, Good to hear you are enjoying the car - looks awesome! How hard did you push it at the track? Best Regards, Jim

Paul, RCR did a fuel tank cross connect line on mine just aft of the lower bulkhead behind the seats. It's tight, but I have all hoses routed above the level of the floor pan so nothing will catch on any road debris. The attached pics are the before and after. I also had RCR install a layer of...

Paul, My RCR Lola should be the same - it's 6 inches by 1 3/4 inches (ID) Best regards, Jim

When I bought my Backyard Buddy lift less than a year ago, the steel was U.S. and they were manufactured in Ohio. The other Advantage lifts are a different design. Advantage Lifts took over the operations of Backyard Buddy in September of 2020.

Found a low res converter that worked, but without audio and crappy quality:(

I did a lot of research before pulling the trigger on my Backyard Buddy 4 post lift and it is really hard to find a company the does everything here in the USA. A lot of companies claim made in the USA, but in reality are Chinese parts assembled here. Best regards, Jim

Nick, Wish I'd seen your thread earlier - another option for the tight space for alternator mounting is to fab up a bracket and reverse mount it so you don't have to hole the chassis. I went this route and it is working well so far. The Sanderson type A/C compressor will just barely fit along...

I'd share the video here, but it won't work as this site does not accept the MP4 format:(

A couple interior pics.

Thanks!

1st judged car show today and the Lola took best in show:) Used the interstate coming home and the gearing is not as tall as I thought it would be.

Baby steps - did my initial test drive around the neighborhood this afternoon (5 miles worth) - verified 1st through 4th gears and the brakes work. No fluid leaks:) Did hear an intermittent squeal after it was up to operating temp, so I need to investigate. First impression is that this will be...

Not yet - still have gremlins to chase (fuel pressure regulator leaking, brakes need bled, needs wheel alignment, CV joint boots will not stay on) and a trip to DMV once I get the MSO back from RCR

Made enough progress to get the car mobile while working out the remaining bugs, so today was a good test of the trailer. Got a set of race ramps which worked well with no nose scraping and the car fits the trailer well and tows smoothly. 3 hours each way to VIR for the Haggarty car show today)
