That is an awesome looking engine!

Best to remove the clamshell, but temporary flexible exhaust pipes would work. https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/319476/10002/-1?srsltid=AfmBOor7fmHusyu1ONsuMVsOYlulCfRDA1yptSHeSjZbc8ICgAebdyetpFw

Depends on the year and what issues I'm having. Always includes a check of the wheel bearings. Paul replaced all four last month. Over the years, Paul has installed tons of upgrades on my car including Rick Muck's air sealing kit, upgrading the fan blower relay (an issue on older SPF cars)...

Paul Whitlock at Holman Moody has completed annual maintenance for my SPF MK I. If you've never had a chance to visit their shop here in Charlotte, it's like stepping back in time. They even have one of the original ocean containers that they used to ship cars to Lemans back in the mid-60's...

My SPF GT40 has been insured (with a guaranteed replacement value) by Midwest Classic insurance for the past 11 years. Similar to Classic Auto Insurance their policies are underwritten by American Modern. Their premiums are very competitive, and the policy allows me to drive up to 6,000 miles...

Dennis Olthoff sells a thicker rear window for Superformance cars. Not sure if it would fit others. It reduces noise and heat a bit. He also sells a pad that fits behind the seats. That improves the driving position and also cuts down the heat somewhat. I have both installed in my car and...

Lee, both front and back have the same issues. If you haven't had someone make crush sleeves for all four spindles, I'd check the bearings at least once per year.

Paul Whitlock at Holman Moody is conducting annual maintenance this month. Although my car has crush sleeves installed on all four hubs, wheel bearings are a constant maintenance issue to check.

Dennis Olthoff sells a pad that installs behind both seats that improves the seating position. It's been in my car for 11 years. I believe that fits both MK I and MK II cars. His website has been down for months, however. You might want to call him.

Jim, I assume that Hillbank could provide some referrals? They must have worked with several good shops on the West Coast.

Another option that I installed about four years ago is a product called 4ucam. A rear view camera that I attached to the top of my license plate. it connects to an iPhone or Android phone via an app. I place my iPhone on the dash and can see anything behind me. In addition to showing the...

Congrats, Alan. Great to see someone who loves to drive their car. I just passed 23,000 in my SPF MK 1. I'm almost a neighbor here in Fort Mill, SC.

I agree, Randy. I didn't mean to blame Prestige. I was just pointing out that there are differences between front runner systems that work for Superformance and RCR.

Sorry to hear that, Randy. Another issue for RCRGT40 customers to watch is the fitment of the front runner system. As I understand it, the front runner system that fits Superformance cars won't work on an RCR. Something to confirm with Prestige if you're having them build an engine with a...

Prestige Motorsports built my GT40 engine four years ago. They are AWESOME. Anyone who is looking for an engine build should consider using them.

Hey everyone. If you haven't purchased and installed Rick's AC Seal Kit, I highly recommend you do that. I live in Charlotte, and Rick's kit made a huge difference in the performance of my AC.

I just passed 22,000 miles in my MK1. It has its quirks, but's as fun to drive today as it was when I registered it with the SC DMV 13 years ago.

This RCR GT40 just sold for $302,000. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2011-ford-rcr-gt40-mark-iv-j-car-replica/

Randy, sorry for the delayed reply. My guess is that Prestige can find the solution. My K&N filters were installed by Paul Whitlock who works for Holman Moody here in Charlotte. I believe he purchased the filters from Roush since K&N may make them for their engines.

The Borla set-up (bottom photo above) is what I have on my car. It works very well. My only complaint was that the flange at the top of the trumpets did not accommodate the KN Filters I wanted to use. So I had to swap them out with trumpets similar to the top photo that have a rounded top edge.
