  • Hallo, Many thanks for the info.

    Warm regards

    Giani

  • Yes, I still do ZF's
    I wish that was my GT 40. It was a customer that needed the ZF rebuilt.
    How long have you had yours?
  • Hi Mike,
    How's everything. Great collection of cars.
  • There is a coumpany called GTO Enginearing in the UK that makes the LSD for the 5. Kelvin Jones is the owners name but he's been hard to get hold off of lately, they were £650.
    Also 3S do them www.3sdeveloppement.fr they are very good and send parts out quickly also for other bits i find GBS Alpine as good.
    www.3sdeveloppement.fr ,all the best Paul.
  • Hi Mike
    It was taken at John Price's work shop in Hereford.
    He is the main man here in the UK. He rallied them in the 80's and has links with Ren Sport.
    He has a web site www.Johnpricerallying.co.uk
    Are you using your Renault 369 trans in the GT40, Martin Bell has a good web site on the tec setup of the UN1.
  • Hi Mike
    I own a T2 and i am the reg for the Renault Classic Car club in the UK.
    I wish you well with your Maxi project. There are quite a few replicas in the UK as well as a Ren Sport car.
    How are you getting on?, if i can help in anyway get in touch.
    All the best, Paul.
