What about all the talk concerning light weight flywheel and racing clutch and other enhancements. Didn't make it in the end ?

When Eagle did my custom cell last year they said it was the last race car cell they would do, going just aircraft. Shame as always a great cell from them.

Don't know what the purpose of the car...

Need to remember it became just another used, old race car for a time and people didn't worry about having all the original bits and pieces. never mind making modifications to try and keep it...

Ran a 298 Lola for a number of years with the M12. A more robust motor than the stretched out Ford based motors. Lots of smooth low rev performance when the FI was set up correctly,The biggest...

While it is well documented how flexible the 340 to 440 series was it was not the first FF to earn the title. Had about a half dozen pass through my shop at Sears Point raceway for modification...

It can also help to back fill the pressure side of the oil pump by pouring oil down the output line of the pressure side. Once the pump actually has oil in it the suction will be established. I...

Yes, the same Lewis as Lewis cellars. Has his old second generation CanAm car run out of Competition Touring Cars at Sonoma Raceway.

Bunny was living in Mexico, past away not too long ago.

I think you will find that initially the splitter was part of the...

I've never seen an Alexis in person but the structure around the seat is very interesting. Not sure if that is original or not but bound to stiffen the chassis, which is the weak point I always...

Experienced runners out here consider that the realistic min. size for a vintage FF.

This model and the earlier T300 introduced the term "the Lola limp" to drivers vocabulary.

We have run for 8 years a modified FM with 235 hp @ 8300, 130 Lbs T. Wide rims with Avon tires to go with the Rino case, Quaife Diff, MK 5 gears. Had one of the end caps on the Quaife break after...

How did you get a hold of all those copies of the wheel. I hope you can get it all able to be seen on the web. I wish I had kept copies of them back then for my scrap book. It's like...

As to transporting. I learned long ago rule number one is to always strap the car down by the chassis, not just because it avoids wearing the suspension components but also will stay put....

Tom : Why would you even consider using a miss-matched set of old shocks ? Who knows how the Bilstein is valved and it's not adjustable plus meant to be mounted "upside down" to reduce the unsprung...

The two pictures most likely came from the late 70's. Frank Briggs was a local racer out of San Jose, CA and worked at the United Airlines maintenance service located at the SF Airport. He was a...

There are a lot of people who "rebuild" these shocks. But most just put in some new seals and change the oil. You want someone who will be able to change out worn valving parts etc. Not so easy to...

Eagle will do a super job at a reasonable price and they will go in the opening. I have used them on several cars.

Always been curious as to the effect the "ears" on the d-9 front body have on straight line speed. Any one every experiment with comparing having them removed over leaving them on the nose.

While considering a number of possible cars for Vintage FF on the Royale RP3/3a I notice there seem to be a number of different rear suspension mounting point locations being used on these cars. ...
