Quote: Sure. I went from aim strada back to analog. Other than e85 and knock readings it’s perfect for me. I can always plug in laptop for more info. Gauges are from speed hut. I used them many years ago for a complete 73 240z upgrade when I went rb26. Have a play on their website. Under 300 a pop is a steal especially when used to greddy unify at 700 a pop. I have a link g4 as well, powering the 338whp from tvs and flex fuel
Nice set up! Jan is working on mine now. I’ll be going with the Link MXG Strada 7” dash with my setup. You didn’t like the AIM? The link is pretty much an AIM.

I don’t see how I associated you with Jan, but ok. You obviously have RMW parts. I wasn’t trying to start anything, just asking if you didn’t like the AIM, but your hatred got in the way of answering my question. Thanks anyways.

Folks that know me know my skillset and my talent for building high quality cars.
Obv well over 17k into it. Yes I know we never get it back. But as a person who has been building for 30 years I Am aware. Also aware that you still couldn’t build this setup for less than 17. But again feel free to ***** moan and measure your internet ***** with each other.

Here's one forsale. I'm not affiliated with it. High mileage, one owner. He doesn't have the R90 wheels anymore, I asked.

Do you think the price is fair?

Hello, folks. My MC40 has a couple of paint chips on the leading edge of the roof. I know that the paint code for the Chili Red is 851. Does anyone know the paint code for the white that was used on the roof. I believe it to be paint code 899 (Aspen White). Can someone confirm? Thanks.

New Owner of Carlos #227
Hello all, After the great run we had with Monty in 2021 and selling him to friends that we met up with in the 2022 MTTS, we have been thinking about getting another one. Well one popped up locally, the price was right, so we now have #227 MC40 in our garage. We are heading to Albuquerque for MTTS 2024 today and won't get to drive him until next month. We are the 4th owners and bought it site unseen (other than the photos on the internet) and trailered him home.

So once again, we are happy to be part of the MC40 family.

Jeff

Good luck and I hope it treats you well!

There's an MC40 in Bryan, Texas for sale. Runs and drives for $2,000. The rims alone are nearly worth that. Someone jump on it.
