Hello Everyone, I am a new Radical Owner and discovered this Forum after not getting an answer from the dealer. I purchased my new SR3 a few months ago and am glad there are knowledgeable Radical Owne...

Getting end of season work done: Engine refresh and conversion from short to long stroke GDU refresh New uprights 4 corners ECU battery replacement replace front rotors replace fuel cell with Harmon ...

@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 ...

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...
