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...

On my SR3 RSX, my belts look more like this: (lower part of the shoulder harnesses are 3 inch wide, all other straps are 2 inches wide) Attachment : Screen Shot 2020-11-15 at 5.50.51 AM.png

Here's a better view Attachment : IMG_1437.jpg As far as installing - not too big of a deal although there's no real guide I could find. I've seen pictures of one other SR1 with a rear diffuser...

@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...

I worked all week to get a new setup on the car. I went with the Hankook 'recipe' from the manual and I must say it was a good starting point. There are some things I can tweak to get some improvement...

I have heard that if one over-tightens the tie down straps, it can move the alignment or bend arms. I don't have first hand knowledge as I am new to tying down and towing, but I would rather not conf...
