    Martin (Cavallino Motors) has a 208 GT4 that is partially track ready also.

    Mine is an early car (75) and it has many euro parts on it, before the change over to the US car. I have a euro air box, fuel tanks and other odds and ends.

    Need help from my gt/4 buds - does anyone know the steering scrub radius of a GT/4 (or even a 246) or can point me to a document that would have it?
    Many thanks!!

    Terrific photos - any engine shots? Would love to see what type of air boxes (if any) they were using!

    I would think that the owners manual would have it. Let me check it out later today and get back to you unless someone else does.

    Russ,
    I am not sure what you mean by scrub? But here is the info from the 75 gt4 workshop manual.

    Well, the unthinkable has happened. I installed the new hood pins in the GT4. Pulling the release cable unlocked one side (drivers) but not the other! I tried the emergency pull, which worked fine before the pin went into the latch, and now it is seized. I think that the pin wasn't centered when it went in and now won't release from the latch. I've tried everything to get it to release, tapping on the hood, gently trying to shake it loose but to no avail. Even took apart the main release for both sides and tried pulling on the cable in the hope it will pull the latch further open, but it just isn't working. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to pry the open side up too much, I don't want to bend the hood.

    Just got subscribed so here are some pics of the new style oil cooler from Ferrari UK, the hole on the bottom of my fuel tank. Now it seems that my springs in the rear are no good. After driving a few thousand KM, the back tires are almost touching the inner fender, I have lots of rubs!

    Hi Jay,
    I had the same problem with my front hood. At the left side the cable was broken and the emergency cable wasn't fitted.
    When you take of the front wheel you see inside a sort of "bal" where the hood pin falls in. I drilled a hole in it an with a srewdriver I could open it.
    Maybe it helps a little bit to find a solution for your problem.

    (sorry for bad englisch, it is difficult to explain exactly what I mean in a foreign language :) )

    Ciao,

    I have the great priviledge of holding onto the "Luigi Bruzio Memorial Trophy" for the next year. My wife and I won the Annual FCA rally in our GT4!

    Way to go, must be a nice feeling to get out on the road after those years of rebuilding her, and drive in club events.

    Took Rick (Big Red) out for a blast on Friday with the GT4 and I think it is now time to put her away for the winter. Mid November is not that bad!
