Did a fat cat gentlemen racer poop in your cereal at Sepang Troy?? Agreed Ben, the F1 was such a great looking car, especially in the short-nose form.

Cheap! Would be a great buy for sure. From memory it had a hit at Calder, but don't quote me on that. Wasn't too bad from what I recall though.

Never knew about the Sandown F5000 international track, very interesting!

Thanks John.

Well done on the times guys, especially Ant. Killer mate! Anyone got shots of the quick Sil?

Sad to see Paul, but glad the car held up well and is a testiment to both chassis strength and the quality of the cage. Shows how quickly it can all go wrong! Hope you can get it all sorted and back to full health ASAP.

Props to them for keeping the boot in! Crazy stuff.

I recall a thread in the last 6 months on the same subject, and it had some useful responses as to which Harnesses are most user friendly. Might be worth a search Personally, I've found Sabelt and Willans to have the best sliders.

Great vid Russ, well done mate! Looks like a blast.

Glad to hear you're both ok after the incident. Sounds like a big one, and goes to show that safety is not something to be skimped on so well done to all involved for ensuring the car was so safe and well built.

Forgot the price... $550 ono

Nice mate, should sort the issues out! Moving seats really suck the big one. Why did you decide to change the seat out too?

Nice job mate. Looks like that seat still needs some attention though!

In-car from the Radical Clubman cup which I thought some people may be interested in.

Sard 800cc top feed injectors model 63566 x 4 Used for a total of 2 hours. Car is being stripped and sold, no need for these anymore. Grab yourself a bargain for some as new injectors. Brand : Sard Flow rate : 800cc Impedance : Low Lag time : 1.10msec Type: Top-feed Includes collars. Can ship interstate free of charge.

It looks like it would get pretty mundane quite quickly, which is a shame as EC is so much fun. Turn 4 is my personal favourite so it's a shame to see it go, but if it allows for more days then it's understandable. An SR8 around there would be abit of fun though!

Still 3 as far as I'm aware.

I stay clear of the curbs if I can, they look awfully big in a Radical He's quick though, very quick.

Nice catch by Neale Muston there!

Agreed! I wonder what speed he was going when it hit??

Very cool!

That post deserves a sensible clap Steve. Must make the trip to Rennsport Reunion one day...

997's also have no ABS, so that can be a bit of a leveller in some conditions and tracks. Running cost comparisons working in the 997's favour could also be very much related to the use the car has had also. I was contemplating a cup car last year, and thye huge expense that the 180 had taken to get where it was and the cost of all these 996's really got me thinking and it's what prompted me to really start considering selling up and moving on. In the end my decision came down to the SR3 or a 996 Cup Car and I went the SR3 for a number of reasons, but first and foremost was fear of the running costs. I had a good idea of what engine and 'box rebuilds were worth and they were a hell of a lot higher than what I'd be up for in a 996, and the Radical is quicker on most tracks. Having said that, the person I bought my Race Ramps off runs Cup Cars and was convinced his running costs would be less than mine so I'll have to catch up with him at one of the rounds and compare notes. GMR look after a Cup Car and speaking with the guys I'm thinking my car is the cheaper car to run, especially if you do some damage to the bodywork. I'll still get a Porka one day though, but it will most likely be a road car or a classic 911S/356 etc

Agreed, cool looking 32
