  1. Oh sure, mention dream shopping and they throw in a photo of a NART Spyder. I better stay home.
  2. Anyway, a can (half?) of octane booster is cheap insurance. Where's the petrochemical specialist? Choosing the booster is another argument.
  3. For a normally aspirated engine, you lose about 5% power per 1000 feet of elevation. So, combustion chamber pressures and temperatures are lower. At sea level we ran 105 or avgas. At a few thousand feet and over, any 90+ was fine. Never harmed an engine.

  5. Congratulations! It might be trite to say it was worth the wait, but at least we wish you many future happy miles, in a car you built.
  6. Felicidades, Doctor! I'm a year ahead of you and still have not found the answers.
  7. older locost. Too bad it was put out to pasture? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/873319005718648/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Ae5b38e88-b99e-42b3-8d21-130a10a0da34
  8. "seller has to know if he hasn’t got the interest in it at his asking price then it is too high. " @DreamofBoost When something doesn't sell, my wife and I say, "There's something wrong with it." And we know what is wrong with it, car, house, whatever...THE PRICE.
  9. "Ad has been removed" is what I got.
  10. "Renault parking" That is so wrong. Those R5 Turbos are wonderful little cars. Drove one about 1200 miles right after the same with a 308. The Renault was so much better than the Ferrari through the mountains. Course it was high rally spec except stage 2 motor instead of a stage 4 hand grenade.
  11. Amen, Brother.
  12. If so, try to see everything. Check for old stickers. See if they have cleaned out old insurance papers. Old photos - if at a racetrack, we might determine date and location, then SCCA records may help (at Lime Rock). Any old license plate to determine it was licensed, then it was titled. IF you find about licensing, some states will run title history, some won't. I've researched many old, dead race cars and you'd be surprised what a detail can lead to. Look for weld marks from removed rollbar or braces. Take a LOT of photos. We used to say film is cheap. Turns out 1s and 0s are even cheaper.
  13. Regarding the scratchy plate. Once you own it and have it on a trailer, you may want to try police. If your locale has a well funded police, or state trooper office in reach, they may have a stolen vehicle section. Those guys have equipment that can read numbers that are absolutely invisible to the eye.
  14. With the drink in your crotch, it won't stay cold for long, but may be a temporary relief on a hot day. 90 at 10:00 AM, high 101.
