Posted by: @rojid Would it be quite easy to repair these holes? Can i just apply some sort of fibreglass filler compound? I just removed the entire half of the fiberglass panel under the roll bar t...

@rojid, David explained the process well. If standard expanded rivets have been used you will likely have to repair a couple of holes but it isn’t difficult. Just use some fiberglass material and so...

You loosen the tension at the foot pedal. There is an adjuster that can be used and a barrel that can be loosened. But you should be able to remove the cable without loosening it. There is a fixed end...

@tmpoquette Are you sure that is not your paddleshift compressor that you are hearing? The water pump on the later LIFE cars should not come until the engine is started. Once the engine is turned off ...

i already have the dry break fuel sampling connector on the car, and i'm struggling to find out what the actual connector is that i need with a bit of clear tubing crimped onto it, so i can drain fuel...

@higgins613, Welcome! And Congratulations on getting your new car! I like this car so much that I was considering getting it for myself. 🙂 You got an amazing car at a fantastic price. I am looking f...

2018 SR3 chassis number 1156 showed up this morning from Radical Northwest. I did the Primal three day school in the SR1 at AMP in December and was hooked and had to have one. Purchased this a month l...

Plenty do in the UK without any issues. The charging system will cope with it fine so no problems. You have to be on top of the system as Lithium does not like being discharged (like a failed charging...

20 hours is not great!! Although I have seen a forward gear starting to wear after only a few hours. I guess once the metal is in the oil it probably speeds up the wear process, plus once the case har...

Fortunately I did not see much damage elsewhere. I will look into super finishing -- thank you for the tip. I found a tiny bit of steel on the bottom outlet fitting magnet, and similar amount on the ...

Just FYI - yall may want to consider FlexTape or associated products. Once applied, super strong. I have used both FlexTape and FlexSeal to reinforce some areas of the gel coat and offer protection ...

Just a couple of points to add. Yes some of the early SR3’s were available without GDU oil pumps but it was a problem. A pump and circulation is essential to GDU longevity. the other point is that th...

@rjbender I did not open up the GDU beyond the left cover, and I won't refresh this myself, but I will ask the tech and then report back. I was quite surprised that the ratio gears look like new, an...

@rjbender, when I got my first SR3 it had 13 hours on the engine and the time on the GDU was unknown. I was told by the seller that it likely had similar hours to the engine. At my first GDU oil cha...

I will guess that the louvers serve as a vent to release air pressure in the wheel wells which would otherwise create a lifting force, reducing downforce, thus reducing traction. That said, I know an ...
