Paul, I hope to do some clearance testing tomorrow. I’ll take some pictures. Closing off the cup is a challenge since the spring has to be able to compress. Perhaps a nylon sock with a hole for the coil. I am going to call Stance to see if they have any ideas. Cheers, Randy

Looking for bed liner guidance for the bottom of an RCR40. Project Farms has a good review of Durabak 18. My understanding is that these products once opened, must be used with a few days. The spec sheet says 75 square feet per gallon so a quart would not be enough and a gallon is probably too...

I think all the fiberglass parts would fit through a typical 36” front door, but once inside you might find it hard to find space. The front and rear clips are big and cumbersome. I did take over the dining room with the seats, carpet and bundle of snakes.

I talked to Bill at RCR. He said that they put the cup on the bottom of the spring and that they haven’t had any problems with debris accumulation. He also suggested getting a one gal air tank. I just ordered this one. It has plenty of ports and is currently on sale...

I finally received my Stance lift kit. The cups are indeed 120mm. They will definitely interfere with the chassis. I am going call Bill at RCR and ask what they do. If they don’t have a solution I am going mock up some 110 cups to see if that will work. The 120s might fit mounted on the bottom...

I have yet to start work in earnest on the RCR40. I had another project that needed to be finished first. This one has been an on and off effort for the past eight months. Finally finished it today. It’s a bobberized Yamaha V-Star 650. It started out as two basket cases. I did complete the...

I just received my kit the other day and can use the following parts: RCR40 Heat/Air Plenum (resized to fit the 6 pt track day cage) 2 pcs. Flexible Fuel Fill Hose 2"x48" Pair of SBF Engine Mounts Misc. Lengths & Diameters of S/S & Aluminum Tube & Brake Tube 2 Borla Brand 2 3/4 Muffler Clamps 3'...

I feel like an eight year old at Christmas. Now to clean up all the gift wrapping :)

Joe, Thx much. Good to know that Prestige stands behind there FI systems. In my case, they will be sending me the parts for me to install so they will help, but for a couple of hundred dollars per hour. The first two hours are included in the invoice. Cheers, Randy

Douglas, I had not heard about the GT40 Uncovered book. There are fewer than 25 left of the 365 printing run. The price is crazy high, but I bought a copy anyway. Hope it is as good as it looks. Cheers, Randy

If I can only spend one night, for which night should I book a reservation? I am building an RCR40 (if it arrives before I die of old age). Therefore, I would really like to check out other’s builds if that makes a difference as to what days to attend. Thx in advance. Cheers, Randy

I ordered mine in May. I suspect there is something like steering racks or wheels holding up many car orders. Mine is waiting for flares to be installed.

Dave, I probably was not clear. Both pictures are Borla systems. I wonder if Prestige can order the 8-Stack system from Borla with trumpets from the EFI ITB system. Since air filters will largely hide the trumpets, the difference in looks should not matter that much. I will give Prestige a call...

Walter, Thx for sharing. I will check this out. It looks like it could be made to work. Cheers, Randy

Paul, Thanks much for explaining the differences. This is a really hard decision. Both these systems look awesome.
