hmmm, no. He just said their records had it in for a massive rebuild in 2012. He didn't say for sure that the seal was from the factory. I asked SRM first about this, but haven't heard back. Carl told...

So here's the definitive answer from James S at Radical: The engine was first built in 2008. The last factory records show this engine being rebuilt in 2012 here at the factory. This was quite a big r...

The engine is sealed, with a "medallion" number of 016434. I sent that information off to SMR -- they seem to have some decent records on the car. I'm leaning to the "refreshed, but forgot to reset th...

Right. I agree with Graeme... seems like you're running on battery only. There's a fuse between the alternator and battery... It would be a good idea to check that first.

Anybody do any leak down testing? I've been doing it after each event with my older SR8, and had consistent cold (didn't warm up the engine first) numbers of 8% or less. All good. On my newer SR8, the...

Ah! I don't relax into my HANS either. In pictures my head is rarely pointing straight ahead so I think the natural thing to do to keep one's head off the HANS as you are looking for apexes, traffic, ...

I asked because the HANS will be between your headrest and helmet. What about necks -- my last track day resulted in several days of neck pain! My newer car has the halo; I hope that helps some or I'...

I bought a Stilo helmet and found that it had much less lift, even without any aero aids. I don't want to be the nag, but you guys are using HANS devices, I hope? 🙂

I like the Honda swap a lot more. Much lower torque, slightly less horsepower, far less expensive. I could re-use the existing (and broken 🙂 ) Quaife gearbox with a Honda K20/K24 swap. I see engines i...

Wow that Subaru swap looks difficult. 300 lbs added to the curb weight... All that turbo torque will blow up the SR8 gearbox... I need to look at the SR5 more carefully to see about a Honda swap.

I've got a good contact for Stack -- Creative Motorsports Solutions right here on the east coast of Florida. Colin from there has already sent me software upgrades, links to the right manuals, and con...

Thanks Charley. That's good information. Also, the wiring on this car looks pristine. I think I'm going to leave the driver's seating position alone -- no need to start ripping into the wiring. I'm wo...

A picture of the back of the ECU: Attachment : fullsizeoutput_337.jpeg Seems like a factory Stack setup. I'm hopeful the dash is connected to the ECU via CAN-bus. I don't see any duplicate sens...

From the local Stack dealer: I’m going to guess that you have one of Eric Vasian’s old cars from Radical South in Atlanta. He was a Stack dealer for a while and most of his cars got this package.

Thanks Charley -- I know a Stack dealer here in Florida. I guess I'll give him a call tomorrow.
