    SPF headlight bulb and fog light bulb

    I switched to LED's many years ago. Makes a world of difference. I couldn't tell which lights were dimmer. My original SPF headlights or the Smiths gauges.

    SPF GT 40 Air Conditioning

    I just wanted to provide a HUGE endorsement of Rick Muck's A/C Box Seal Kit and also the Relay Kit that improves blower motor performance and keeps fuses from failing. I've known about these products for a few years but finally got around to ordering them from Rick and having them installed by...

    5 or 6 point harness in an SPF?

    When I purchased my Superformance GT40, I felt very uncomfortable in the 4 point Willans harness they provided. Why they spec that I have no idea. I quickly replaced that with a G-Force 5 point harness. That gave me much greater comfort until I thought more about the 10 gallon fuel cells to...

    Prestige Motorsports

    About five years ago, Dennis Olthoff had his engine builder rebuild my engine. It didn't make it back to my home, 40 miles from Dennis' shop. For the next three years I struggled with various issues with the engine. Two years ago I had Prestige build a new engine for me. Like the other folks...

    Fueling an SPF Mark I

    I've found a few gas stations near my home where there is a slight incline at the pumps. Just pull up, and slowly fill the higher tank. The crossover pipe works pretty well and you'll leave with both tanks pretty much filled. No need to fill the two tanks separately.

    Car Security

    I don't leave my car sitting alone in a parking lot. These cars attract too much attention to risk damage or theft. Just my opinion. If you do park your car and walk away, Rob Klein has the best solution.

    SPF Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement

    Richard, I'm afraid I don't have the length of my spacers. They were manufactured by Holman Moody in their shop.

    SPF Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement

    After having to adjust or replace my bearings every 8-12 months over the course of several years, Holman Moody measured and installed spacers back in 2014. The bearings have been fine since then although I've driven more than 21,000 miles. Unfortunately, these have to be manufactured based on...

    Eight Stack Air Filters

    I purchased my filters from Roush here in Charlotte. But that was a few years ago.

    Wheels and tires on SPF

    I agree. I'm on my second set of 15" Avons and feel they're best for the car.

    Engine Builders for RCR GT40 Chassis

    Louis, I know that Prestige builds lots of motors with serpentine set-ups for GT40s. Are you saying that what they build for Superformance cars won't work for RCR's?

    Hello from Sydney, Australia

    Welcome, Dario. I was in Sydney a few weeks ago on business and lived in Hobart for five years previously (although I know many from the mainland don't consider Tassie part of Australia). What an awesome city you live in. I've owned my Superformance for almost nine years and have put a bit...

    This DVD ("Target 200") from 2016 was posted to YouTube yesterday. Some great shots of the early cars.

    Holman Moody Shop...

    I live 20 minutes from Holman Moody's shop. About two years ago, Lee Holman hired Paul Whitlock. Paul worked for many years for Dennis at Olthoff Racing. Paul has done more work on my car than anyone over the past seven years. He is incredibly professional, meticulous and has a real passion...

    FAST EZ EFI self tuning system issues

    My Borla Eight Stack was originally set up with FAST EFI. It was a nightmare to manage and nobody in the Charlotte area (i.e., where everything automotive is located) would touch it. I ended up swapping it out with Holley Terminator X after Prestige Motorsports built my new engine. That is...

    Air filters for 50mm Borla throttle bodies

    I have K&N filters on my Borla Eight Stack. You might contact Dennis Olthoff at Olthoff Racing. If these or anything close are still available he'd know where to source them.

    Cheapest Gas

    $3.05 per gallon (0.80 per litre) in South Carolina. I'm sure that Fox News is thanking Joe Biden for the falling gas prices....
