@rjbender I took a test drive and did not see anything for launch control It is fast!!

@gwt561324, you are correct, I should reconsider that statement. This car is so much faster that I am sure it will go through brakes quicker and the cost of transmission servicing is unknown at this ...

I seem to recall seeing a document (maybe in a manual of sorts) that had all the dimensions of the bodywork of the SR3 laid out for purposes of creating graphics. I now can't find it for the life of ...

I do it the same way Garrett explained. I also flush the old fluid out of the oil cooler a bit. Flushing the cooler is easy to do when the rear wheels are off of the ground. Simply put the oil retu...

@rjbender, yeah I need to be careful on the scrub in laps. New rotor needs to be bedded in with the pads.

Report on this Radical SR3: Fast and fun. I took it to VIR two weeks ago at a TrackDaze HPDE. There are several other tracks nearer to me, but I wanted to start with a track that I know well because...

Inspired by @kitleslie I went to check out Eagles Canyon. Great track with several sweeping corners that make the Radical come alive. Definitely more time on the table but it was a DE only weekend wit...

@lunatic, If you found that in your engine I would change the oil cooler and make sure all of the lines have been flushed very well. For me it just wouldn’t be worth the risk that some more of that c...

Congratulations on getting out to the track! It is good to hear that you had good luck bringing passengers. I find that many are only good for about one lap and then they want to come in. 🙂 Charley

Take a look at the latest "Ask Phil" question where he talks about the SR3 Turbo cars and Radicals first Nürburgring record.

@rjbender, When the fuel cell starts to leak you will have a fuel smell around the car when it is in the garage. What is usually happening at this point is that there is a small (or several small ) l...

@ntf3000, Do you know what type of fuel tank his car has? It will either be an aluminum tank or a fuel cell. Also, Do you know when the situation is happening? Is it happening on left hand corners, ...

Data shows that the fuel pressure is solid. He has also replaced the fuel pressure regulator three times. There is something that resembles a fuel pump zip tied to the frame rail. Is that the regul...
