Thanks guys. @trakmnky Sorry to hear about your weather. This is the time of year when Florida weather really shines, so to speak. 🙂 I'm working on carrying more speed through the turns -- there's sev...

Hi Ben -- sorry, the mirrors are gone. @benm

My videographer wife punched up the video a bit.

Mine arrived today! That was fast! thanks Charley, I'll wear them with pride.

@rotorman Hi Simon, the chassis and body panels from one of the SR8s is for sale, but you'd only want that for spares. I expect you'll be hearing from Charley soon, but have you checked the classified...

@rotorman Simon, welcome! I have two SR8s (one of which was parted out to help build the second one). Now is certainly the time to buy one... their values have fallen below SR3s, and now I'll bet will...

Haha! Fishplate is what I've always called it -- I always thought that term comes from the typical diamond shape of the reinforcing material. Had no idea of its railroad origins. I learned something t...

The tubes are not 4130 or 4140, just ordinary mild steel. I use ER70S rod. You can use either ER70S-2 or ER70S-6 for the repair. If it were my car, I'd add a fishplate reinforcement too.

I'm using those tires on my SR8. It's a big cost savings for the exact same tire.

I just finished this steering wheel upgrade. I wanted control buttons that kept my hands on the wheel instead of searching around on the dash. I ditched the original loom and all the dash switches and...

Digging this myself. What lights are you using? How hard are they to mount? I've ditched most of Radical's original wiring and am using ECUMaster PMU and CAN-based switches and keypad. I've got a coup...

@alex-heavens I'm using an ECUMaster PMU (power management unit), switchboard (for steering wheel switches), and rotary switches (two on steering wheel, one on dash). The PMU does all the power manage...

I'm with Garrett. I plant myself in the wing mirror where I want to go by. It works pretty well. I'd also recommend mentioning it during the driver's meeting: "hi guys, I'm out here in a <color>...

@alex-heavens I'm learning how to read the ECUMaster logs, and I'll be able to set the parameter to a smaller value once I gather more data about "typical values". Yes, the new shift system is damne...

This past weekend was spent at Sebring, and I can report overall success with the car. I finally have the closed loop flawless shifting car I've been searching for. I had one issue with my ECUMaster ...
