Can somebody run a car fax for me?

Super car? Check out Factory Five Racing's GTM. From the FFR website: http://www.factoryfive.com/table/ffrkits/GTM/concept.html The idea for the GTM is simple. Design a modern supercar and price it where an ordinary guy can afford. The only catch is that you have to provide your own running gear (GM based) and you have to build it yourself. After more than three years of engineering and development work, we are ready to introduce the world to our vision of what an American-designed Supercar should be. The GTM is an American V-8 powered, mid-engined car with a composite body shell and an aluminum and steel tube frame chassis. The car uses GM Performance engine and suspension parts with four-corner coil-over shocks, huge brakes and a Porsche 911 Transaxle. In the Factory Five tradition, the car is first and foremost a high performance car. The GTM is light and aerodynamic, with excellent weight distribution and precise race-car handling/braking derived from the Chevrolet Corvette C-5.

What are body bushings????

You need to come down early next year and meet the boys, can't wait to get some wrenches in their little hands Merry Christmas everybody!!! David

Marcus, Your right the car looks like total trash you should sell it to me, I'll give you $1000 and pick it up sometime this month, all a big joke. Dude it looks great, I kinda like the black hood wheels are sharp what brand/style are they? Engine compartment looks fine to me. It just takes sometime, be patient. David

Praise the Lord the're healthy 20 fingers and 20 toes!!!! Lisa is doing well. I am sooooo proud!!! Thanks too all that have kept us in your thoughts and prayers. David

CASTROL I work for them so I must be biased. What FTC charges? David

Let us know how it "fits" I can't believe they won't let you pick up. When talking to them last year on my SCCA roll bar the guy (forgot his name) seemed really cool and knowledgeable all around nice guy. Hmmmm suprised they don't allow pick ups.

I had a California Car cover for the Cobra OUTSTANDING cover. If wanting to use outdoors go with the "Stormweave" material. http://www.calcarcover.com/how_to_select.aspx#noah

Just a word on the spindle pins. I took my control arms to a 4X4 shop and had them removed along with the bushings and collars for $30 bucks, a bargain IMO. (Although they screwed up the threads on one pin no big deal I ordered 2 new ones) If you have a 4X4 shop in your area I would strongly recommend doing this, is your time and aggravation worth $30? Mine is. In fact when the new bushings get here I'll probably have them installed too. I’m not lazy just not crazy about the “spindle pin†project, and yes I have done the burning of the bushings, disassembly and rebuilding of the LCA on my 240 before. (these LCAs belong to the Scarab). d

I'll post up in a few days on this subject. I started on the a$$ end of the Scarab today. I haven't made up my mind if I want to install the Illuminas just yet, I'm seriously torn between saving them for my 240 Hybrid and installing on the Scarab. And as usual uncle "while I'm at it" showed up and told me to go ahead and replace ALL the bushings in the rear or else!!!
