Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone

I spent the day drilling holes in the bell housing to provide access to the top two bolts that go into the ZF. Those two bolts are normally hidden once the transaxle is mated with the bell housing and then bolted to the block. This mod is necessary in case the ZF has to come out for some reason, wit...

Re: Lakeland cruise-in March 2, 2024 DSCC

Yep, that’s what I saw also. Not like we don’t still get wet with the tops up. I’m not even sure I remember how to put it up, it’s been that long… :wink:

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone

When I was pulling the motor out, I noticed the weight of the motor compressed the poly mounts just enough to create metal to metal contact on mating parts, so break out the 4” grinder and create some space… 8-)

Re: Power Tek

I stopped into Power Tek this morning to drop something off for a friend, and while I was there I thought I’d get some additional info on their monthly track outings. Well, I’m a bit embarrassed to say that my initial post had a few, um, inaccuracies… :oops: They typically run monthly at the Firm in...

Re: Jet Packs at Austria GP 2023

That’s so cool! I remember going to see Thunderball (James Bond) when I was a kid, I was wide eyed watching the opening scene with 007 flying off the roof with a jet pack…😎

Re: Mike's GT40 gets redone

Got a late start today due to a few unforeseen distractions, so only got a few done…😏 The drill guide worked out well, holes were drilled straight and the tap had no problem following the hole. I lined up each hole with the starter opening in the backing plate so I could drill and tap with no interf...
