finally got round to posting the application form off to Des this morning.
How long does membership normally take to approve etc and for magazine to be sent out?

hoping to get on some trackdays with club members this/next year as mine isnt a road legal car so track only for me.
cheers

Chris,

Non-GT40 owners are just as welcome.

Sorry nothing received in the post yet. Was there a reason it has gone indirectly via Desmond?

Hopefully it might turn up today as I will be working on club stuff this evening. Nominally I will be pulling the list of members to receive the June magazine tonight as well, but you'll get the mag anyway even if I just have to send you one.

Cheers,

Max

any update on the membership form? i do recall it was sent to tony hunt name/address as on form. cheers

 

[Max Walter]

Chris,

It turned up Wed or Thurs, and I processed it and sent out your Starter Pack Friday afternoon 1st Class Royal Mail (along with another I was doing in parallel). You'd like to think 1st Class meant they could get it to you the following day, but clearly not these days... I guess you'll get it Monday.

I will send you the June magazine when it is published.

Cheers,

Max

 

[Chris M]

many thanks, cant wait!
cheers

 

[Chris M]

membership pacrived today, many thanks.

 

[Max Walter]

Chris,

Good to hear.

Slightly disappointing about Royal Mail's 1st Class service - 3 days (+1 for Sunday)!

Very nice looking car Chris! :thumbsup:

More information about your driveline?

I was somewhat surprised to see an open wheel formula car mixed in with sedans. They're very hard to see in your mirrors..

 

[Chris M]

yes it was a mixed day, but generally only 10 cars out at once so it was never that busy. didnt notice the formula car tbh, only one guy in a westy who failed to move over as per track etiquette for 2 laps before he realised he was holding us up!

car has an upside down porsche G50 box with torsen diff and h/d driveshafts etc. engine is a forged ls6 bought just at the right time when the dollar was weak (£2k for a full forged bottom end!)
heads are stock refurbished ls1 243's with uprated rockers, pushrods, retainers, springs. cam is very mild, 220/220 and i only rev to 6400rpm
carb is a demon 750cfm with mechanical secondary, and an msd 6010 box does the ignition working from the stock crank and cam sensors. car runs a 7 1/2" super clutch full paddle clutch
i run an ARE dry sump and twin coolers, no ps/abs/air con etc etc!

tyres are 255 or 245 fronts and 335 rears.

Sounds like a very nice setup all the way around. Do you recall the series of the G50? 01/02/03/50/52 ??
What sort of shifter arrangement? Looks like it was working well for you...

i cant remember offhand which model it actually was, it came out of a 92 carrera and is 5 speed, its not overly long gearing either. its all rod change, with uj's etc, its not 100% perfect but works, you do need to be deliberate as such with the changes. i fitted a quaife diff in place of the std open diff.
