I’m just interested to know what (if any) different engines people have put in their cars. I guesss the Ford family must be in the vast majority of cars, but has anyone gone for a completely unusual choice? BMW, LEXUS etc? Just interested. Simon

G'day everyone, I'm Christopher. I'm eighteen and have started with a GT40 build. John Steiner (kaspa) suggested I get on here, so here I am. Some really nice cars cars being built, and your advice would be appreciated. So far the contraversial plan seems to be a chevy ls power plant...

SPF in conjunction with Safir Spares may release special 50th anniversary edition of the famous '68 and '69 Mrk I Gulf Heritage GT40s. There may be a limit of 25 of each year. Cars may cost between $170K+ to $190K+. Too many other specifics to quote. Let's hope it's not just a dream...

Anybody have a line on which and how many original GT40s (or cars pretending to be original) will be racing this year? Will there be a paddock for GT40 street cars? Hope to see some of you there! :thumbsup:

Hi all, came across this intersting article on the use of the UN1 transmission in the Esprit, written by the Esprit Platform Manager at Lotus Cars and thought I'd share to a wider audience Regards, Andy

Seems to me that very few people are ordering new gt40's superformance? Cav? Bailey? When was the last time you saw a post about a new order? I see a few active power cars.. Are people loosing interest?? Are the cars becoming to expensive? Was it just a fad? Feel free to answer.. Walt

Hi all, Fran was kind enough to give me a tour of his place and the cars a while back. Not sure if I drooled more from the finished cars or the manufacturing side of things. I fear I might fall into the category of "If you need an instruction manual, you shouldn't be building one of these...

Last April the Hants & Berks region of the GT40 Enthusiasts Club were fortunate to be invited to Thruxton Circuit to put on a display of our cars at a race meeting. We were also allowed two demonstration laps of the circuit during the lunch break. This year is the 50th anniversary of Thruxton...

I noticed in a picture of Graham Hill standing beside a GT40 with the front clip open and next to the off side filler cap is a small object which I had not seen before so I looked in the book Ford GT40 Production and Racing History individual chassis record by Trevor Legate and in the exploded...

I’m new to the post and just purchased my GT40 roller from Active Power Cars. I will be asking for advise from experts and pros on this forum. Thank you.

Hi my name is Zach, I live in Redlands, CA. I am very interested getting into a GT40 replica. I have loved them since I was a kid when I saw them at Pebble Beach Concours d'elegance (I think ford was the feature auto maker that year). I have been reading everything I can on this forum and...

It's been about a year since I started offering drop gears for the Graziano (Graziano Gearing and Drop Gears) - multiple installs and feedback has been great from those who have driven cars with them installed. The one shortcoming of the 1.038 set, however, was the lack of a true overdrive gear...

I'm in the planning stages of building a GT40. One of the things that has come up is the wheel diameter. I'm thinking of building a car from Active Power Cars and they use Corvette C5/C6 suspension pieces and brakes. I've seen that the factory size rotors are 12.6" on the front and 11.8" on...

Does anyone have any information on the inner CV joint for this 01X transaxle? I had to go with this from Lithuania and I know it went to a AUDI A4 B7 8E – I’m assuming a 2.0 TDI 6Spd car.... But it didn’t come with axles. Trying to get them made and while it have the outer CVs to measure- I...

All (especially UK), Please read the items in the link and please put forward your view. In a nutshell, it looks as though the emissions relaxation for our kit/replica cars is being proposed to be withdrawn. It means you'd have to meet current emissions. I am also reading it that it may...

Gentlemen! It looks really cool making it go up and down into "track mode" at Cars & Coffee while wearing Birkenstocks... End of discussion period!
