    A call to anyone in AUS (or unlikely as it may be) in the US, that may have a set of torsional test data for the Coupe or Roadster. The Automotive Engineer I am using in Aus would accept the Roadster data. Having this would save a lot of time and cost during my build. With thanks Chris

    This is the best write up I've seen on the subject, so I thought I'd share for the Californian's out there. http://home.thegrid.net/~ffr4776/SB100_Registration.pdf Page 1 of 4 Registration in California is fairly straightforward. There are a number of steps that have to be taken, some forms...

    If any one lives in Houston, and is willing to help please contact me or PM me. I have a FF5 I build which mostly sits in my garage unless I get the guts to drive it as it is totally illegal to be on the street. I can't insure it, and my registration was DENIED. I am frankly worried to death...
