RE: Adding preload to shocks

@parsonsj Hi John. It was a really fun week. Turn 7 is good because you want to drive deep into that brake zone, and if you overshoot there is plenty of run off. Turn 10 is my favorite for settin...

RE: F1 Style Halo / Center protection

The maintenance interval for the uprights is 40 hrs, correct? Thought the reason was because welds can start cracking. The bearings definitely make sense. I replaced mine when I bought the car. I ha...

RE: Adding preload to shocks

@bird - Hi Jay, Radical wanted around AU$700 per set.... So we made our own from some 5/8" diameter (or 16mm) 316L stainless steel bar, and purchased the Chrome-Moly heim joints from a local race par...

RE: Left foot vs Right foot braking

RE: SR1 pedal spacing. Anyone make throttle pedal spacers?

@speedsmith @charleyhradicalsportscarregistry-com Wow. That's a real pearl of information! I've ALWAYS set my pedals up so that at maximum braking, the throttle was about level with the brake -- which...

RE: SR1 pedal spacing. Anyone make throttle pedal spacers?

RE: Car width with Tie downs (part # AT0008) inserted into spindle.

@bird - G'day from Tasmania! Just reinstalled the rear wheels on my RSX and the Radical supplied tie-down inserts to measure this for you. 1850mm (just under 73") is the exact width of mine.
