davedutch Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Chris, will you ever buy anything that doesn't "need" fixing? I am sure you will love putting it through it's paces. Any thoughts on a name for this beast? 1 Quote
WhackyWill Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Great start, should have enough rubber for a few track days there, yes' that's the biggest problem with running a Radical and that's Radical only parts and prices.. Quote
Ken Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) We are at Snetterton this Saturday 15th Chris. Phil was booked in but i think he has a problem with his car and won't be able to make it. Give him a PM if you fancy coming along. Should be able to swap places. We are also booked on at Oulton Park on Saturday 6th December. Edited November 8, 2014 by Ken Quote

R35LEE Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 These things are incredibly quick! Look forward to some updates Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk Quote
Keyser Posted November 9, 2014 Author Posted November 9, 2014 So what's next on the to do list - Today I had a go at this - and This The first is the plug that allows the rear section wiring loom to be unplugged so it can be removed - the problem is it has completely broken out of it's mount. Also the rear has a wiring issue - when the plug is connected and you turn the lights on the fuse blows so.................... I took this off cut of ally (got to keep the weight down ) did this then this fitted to this And that all fits back together like this Find blown bulb Replace - Also turn the other brake/side light the right way round in its holder then find melted wires remove (not connected to anything) may wire up some under car LED's with them as they come on with the side lights Bolt car back together and I now have all working lights. Still have a very small oil leak though it seeps round one of the bolts - ordered a cometic race gasket supposedly for the dry sump - may help It's not enough of a leak to stop me driving but it's still annoying that it's there Still Orange - for now 2 Quote

greg tl Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Just called Chris and he was having a bath... Must be that time of year again. Anyway, i'm taking the bitch up to Bedford to crash it into the pit wall so unless anyone wants it, speak now of forever hold your pieces. 3 Quote

Ebized Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Your next upgrade after the Radical Chris - that was made to feel it was standing still! (orange is the new green) Quote
The Chubby Ninja Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Honestly wouldn't surprise me if he ended up with a formula 1 car Quote
Keyser Posted November 18, 2014 Author Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Problem with a formula car is finding somewhere to use it 90% of track days will not allow open wheel cars After I start hill climb and sprint next year I get a ban from Silverstone in the Radical as well The TandC's for Silverstone state - "PLEASE NOTE WE CANNOT ACCEPT RADICALS IF THE DRIVER HAS A RACE LICENCE" Edited November 18, 2014 by Keyser Quote
