Hi All, I basically have the same question that @trakmnky started this thread with, and I appreciate CharleyH's input above. I was wondering if anyone has some data or aero-curves that would back u...

@schneller - G'day Ron, You can see the end of the shaft up the middle of the hub. I think another way around that issue would have been to use a brass drift (... or even a piece of hardwood that wo...

@bird - Hi Jay, Main dimensions are 40mm wide and 215mm long. The material I used is 2.5mm thick (anything between 1.5 and 3mm would work really, as long as it can be formed to shape with heat.... o...

@bird - Hi Jay, Yes. That's another thing I made and helps enormously when you are trying to maximise the use of the RPM shift lights in bright sunlight. I had some thin black plastic sheet at home ...

@bird ... Hi Jay, Yes, that's something I made very early after buying my Radical and getting it up on my jack stands for the first time. I wanted a 'fail-safe' support under the car to allow me to a...

@bird - Hi Jay, Radical wanted around AU$700 per set.... So we made our own from some 5/8" diameter (or 16mm) 316L stainless steel bar, and purchased the Chrome-Moly heim joints from a local race par...

@bird - G'day from Tasmania! Just reinstalled the rear wheels on my RSX and the Radical supplied tie-down inserts to measure this for you. 1850mm (just under 73") is the exact width of mine.

@davidf … G’day David, I’ve now made some adjustable pushrods for the rear of my RSX, so now both cars have them. My setup is now ‘normally’ done using the pushrods to adjust height/weight… but i try...

@schneller … regarding your reply to @davidf above and the oversteer your experiencing… Reading between the lines it sounds like turn in oversteer, and as you mention this can definitely be induced by...

@schneller …. Why not make the shock adjustments while it’s on the ‘flat patch’ (on the scales)? You can then do the adjustment ‘live’ and you can see the difference and the end result. You can sit ...

@nautoncall .... Attachment : IMG_3607.jpg See other recent replies for Tasmania's climate which will determine if this is relevant for you... As mentioned in the other posts, I only blank the ...

@charleyhradicalsportscarregistry-com ... here's my solution to that happening... Nothing a bit of 'fly-screen' material won't fix... and the restriction to air flow isn't a problem in our climate he...

@stephen ... certainly never had a problem getting the GDU/gearbox temp up on mine... in fact quite the opposite. I've got some of those stick on temperature guides and they tell me the outside surfa...

@parsonsj ... G'day John. If there's not much diameter difference between them, then maybe you could just build the tool for the larger diameter joint, and then 'sleeve' the roller bearing end using ...

G'day All, I've just completed my first SR3 driveshaft rebuild according to the schedule... done at around 12 hours on my HD driveshafts (on-track time) rather than the 10 hours Radical recommend. Li...
