RE: Adding preload to shocks

@davidf Thanks very much for all that info. I think I've got a decent brake shape, but my goals this year are to add more trail-braking and to move my brake points deeper. I've always felt just a bit ...

RE: Adding preload to shocks

@parsonsj Hi John. I have to look at my data for the percentage, but 60% sounds familiar. Sitting in the car, you can set your initial bias, but generally you want tune the bias on the track so tha...

RE: Adding preload to shocks

RE: Spare bolt / fasteners / parts

@davidf David, that's a great list of suppliers, tools, and hardware. I have nothing to add, other than to extol the virtues of Milwaukee 12v (not the 18v stuff, they are too big!) tools, including th...

RE: Spare bolt / fasteners / parts

I looked at some of my Belmetric orders, and I used grade 12.9 for M5 and M6 bolts. 10.9 for M8. Honestly, I don't really know what is required but for the smaller screws they are all 12.9 at Belmet...

@fsts2k Hi Kevin. What model and year Radical did you purchase? I am familiar with SR3 only. The fasteners you need depends on how much work you plan on doing yourself and how you drive. The ma...

RE: PSI/Bar required per gear change, ball park figure

@frank Happy New Year! 10 bar is fine, though you'll want to run a bit below that to increase the compressor lifespan. My SR8 runs at 8.5 bar. 35 liters / min means you can fill the accumulator in abo...

RE: Adding preload to shocks

RE: Adding preload to shocks

@davidf … G’day David, I’ve now made some adjustable pushrods for the rear of my RSX, so now both cars have them. My setup is now ‘normally’ done using the pushrods to adjust height/weight… but i try...
