CAV GT in component form

[Strobe]

Geoff,
Car looks even better in the Flesh! So much so that it tipped the balance, bought the next CAV mono 109 from them last week. I am living between you and the CAV shop, so without Ou Kapseweg will probably be in with Jean and John more often than you. Look forward to perhaps picking your brain a little as things progress.
Cheers
Stephen

Hi Stephen.
Glad to hear you have joined the ranks. I am overseas at the moment but will give you a shout when I get back in 10 days or so. When do expect delivery?

Geoff,
I expect to get the car about 5-6 weeks from now....... Interesting that the Audi wouldnt hold up to the 390 hp?? I trust that the you have had little problems with the Audi/Porsche hybrid?
I am leaving myself for Angola for couple of weeks. Sure that we can hook up after that.
Happy flying

Hi Stephen.
I am back in town for a week or so and can be contacted on 073 3866163.
Do you know about the track day at Killarney on Saturday the 16th? I will be testing my GT from about 0830 and I expect there will be a bunch of exotic cars pretending to be GT40's. I am at home most days and look forward to
your call.

Geoff

I have just fitted a Renault 21T gearbox to a CAV, a little antiquated you may think, but the GTD racers in the UK have developed and raced them for years and useing up to 450 hp. The Renault installation simplifies a lot of the problems experienced with the Audi, has better ratios, and fits the chassis much better, allowing for the necessary chassis cross member under the box.
