Some good suggestions by bothers including the penetrating oil and Milwaukee 18v impact wrench you have.... ultimately the answer may well be as simple as a longer breaker bar... and more people to he...

Hi David, ... so to be clear these strips (in that temperature range) are the ones you suggest using on the uprights bearing carrier? I already use these type of strips in a number of applications ar...

Small upgrade as I strip my RSX for a full rebuild… thought I would get rid of some of the rivets in the bodywork - in this case for the ATL Dry Break Fuel Inlet and the Air Vent/Breather… I have a cl...

Hi All, I thought I would post my suspension bush question here as it’s at least related to this topic. I’ve suffered some damage from a crash about 5 weeks ago, slipping on some oil that was dumped r...

Hi All, I had an unfortunate accident in my RSX about two weeks ago (slipped on oil dumped by another car that was 0.7 seconds ahead of me in a 160km/hr corner...) and will need to remove the steering...

@helmutweber ... there's not much 'e' about that box... mostly pneumatics in there. The 'e' part of this box contains the 3 solenoids that drive the 3 pneumatic valves that control the up-shift, down...

@davidf ... Great insight David. I don't know much about the TPS either.. but I do know where to buy them as I purchased a spare based on some previous comments about their reliability. Here's what ...

@davidf - Thanks David, Appreciate you sharing your replies. Just checking that when you say you run “hole 3 from the bottom” on the main plane that is actually the second lowest wing setting? (Ie w...

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.
