About 5 years ago when my wife and I were looking into starting a track day rental car business using mostly sports racers as or cars we look at the Radical sr1's but they are very far and few in the states. there is pretty much only one dealer in the states that has them the other dealers said they can order us a few if we want but after some thought we decided going with the SR1 would be the best idea. We ended up going with the Rush SR's and I will say that was a mistake for a number of reason.

part of the 5 years we have owned the Rush car we were a dealer for a short part of that time and that too was a big mistake for a number of reasons. 

the Rush SR do sell very well and the Rush spec series is taking off with 30 to 50 cars running at event's. Radical has the sr1 series in the UK but nothing in the states. this has always made me question why?? the SR1's are about the same cost as a rush car they are a far better car. there are SR3 owners selling there cars and buying Rush SR's to run a the spec series because of the lower running cost and lower cost of the Rush cars. the SR1's are a perfect car for a feeder series to more powerful SR3's and other sports racing classes. If you also take into consideration of people with brand loyalty that start out in a SR1 they may also want to move up to the SR3 series ? so the question is why hasn't Radical or the Radical dealer in the states offering anything like Rush does?   

I'm looking to streamline our paddock setup this season. Right now, the car goes on the main hauler, but the tow vehicle is getting completely trashed and overloaded with all our support gear (extra sets of slicks and wets, nitrogen bottle, heavy tool chests, and multiple VP fuel jugs).

I’m planning to buy a dedicated support trailer just for the pit gear and maybe a pit bike. I'm currently pricing out a standard 6x12 enclosed cargo trailer to use as a blank canvas for this.

For those of you who use a separate smaller trailer for your paddock support:

1. How high up the wall do you mount your E-tracks for tire racks? I want to keep the center of gravity low, but I still need room underneath for rolling tool carts.

2. How are you securing your 5-gallon fuel jugs? Do you build custom wooden racks, or just strap them to the wall tracks?

I'd love to see some photos of the interior of your gear haulers if you have them. Thanks!

Hi does anyone know where I can find the rear bodywork and a complete bi-plane wing with uprights for a 2005 SR8 ?

Any help would be appreciated as I am in South Africa and have no options locally 

I have changed the front sprocket from a 16 tooth to a 15 tooth and now the gear indicator doesn't work because of the change of ratio.  (Hillclimb & Sprint Use)

Unfortunately I did not get any software or programming leads when I purchased the car.  Any help greatly appreciated :)

I have replaced my lower control arm and both heim joints and was curious on your opinion on if it appears the upright might be too tight even if it was torqued to specs.

The issue I am experiencing is that I am not able to shift gears.

The compressor is on and holds pressure, the paddleshifter levers do not initiate any response unless I have the neutral selection button pushed and when that is pushed, you can hear the pop of shifting gears.

I hope I just missed plugging something in during the re-assembly process and is a super easy fix but I have no idea where to start that search.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks!

Looking for either a used part, at the very least the center shaft itself would work and I could reuse my ends. 

Now i want to upgrade my gearbox with a flatshifter, im looking for the one from flathifter.com because i want to keep the original shift stick. Any recommendations, tipps, tricks or experiences are welcome ! :)

What also interests me is how your experience are with the original suspension. Mine is the standard not adjustable one (except of the height) and acutally 20 years old (if the last owner didnt refurbished it). How ever, it felt great for me! But i would be very interested about your experiences with this or other suspensions too.

See you guys!

This solution used the same 'safety clips' that hold the wheel hub tie-down restraints during transport... and some old brake cleaner aerosol can lids....

Literally 5 minutes later...  no more mess.
