@crimonto No problem at all. Its reserve capacity is smaller than the Odyssey 950 it replaced, but it can still crank the engine for 20-30 seconds to get oil pressure after an oil change and then star...

I don't think so. SR8s are notorious for alternator wear (secondary vibration from the flat plane crankshaft seems to be the consensus for why that is so) even with OEM batteries. I've been through 7 ...

Hi Chris -- my battery continues to hang in there. I have gone through a couple of alternators this past spring, but the battery is still working great. @crimonto

@coochas Dave, I crank up the trailer to reduce the angle like you mentioned, except that I leave it attached to my truck when I do it. That does help a lot. It makes enough difference that I don't us...

Hankook's is having a Black Friday sale. I saved $249 on a set of tires.

@niknam Hi Niknam, no I don't know the part number. It's a full-on racing part that isn't sourced from a road car. I'd give the guys at RLM a call if you can't get to Radical. RLM Racing

@nickallitt I don't understand the purpose behind the clutch pedal, but the ECU knows to blip the throttle based on a downshift request (left paddle). Depending on the year, and any mods made since th...

Yes--something inexpensive and replaceable, perhaps incorporated into an annual maintenance program.

@crimonto I hear you about fire, but this little 1.5kg battery is hardly an EV. Plus it's Lithium phosphate based, and rated for motorsports, which greatly reduces its fire hazard risk. Just like ever...

@crimonto. I've been using a Lithium battery from BatteriesPlus (they have locations everywhere!). I bought two and keep one as a spare. 3 year warranty, and light as a feather: X2Power Lithium Iron P...

@crimonto Very nice. Mine are a mess! Now we need something for the front edge of the sidepods. I've repaired mine a couple of times already.

@rcx_de Chris, I'd check with the folks at RLM Racing. They are in the UK and might be able to help.

It's been a few years now, but I converted my SR8 to an internal pin connection, i.e., the connections are internal to the steering shaft. It's been flawless, and very convenient without a cable. Happ...

I was at VIR 3 weeks ago for Kaizen's racing school. There were several drivers there who had only seen VIR via simulator. I heard one of them say to the other: "it's freaky how closely the real track...
