Someone saying they spoke to Anthony last night has said that the car dropped oil under its own tyres causing it to veer hard right and hit the wall.

Such a shame to see one of the worlds quickest RX3's tumbling like that. I really liked that car :(

That's a terrible shame-but brilliant that he's come out of it okay, and that's the most important part.

That was one of my favourite comp cars.

Here's a shot I got of it at Compak Attak in May. :D

not laughing at the situation as it is a shame to see such a well presented and quick car like that written off.

but it is maybe coincidental but at the HKS mini Jam not to long ago in QLD a Pac customer flipped his RX3 Sedan whilst racing he was the original owner of the Daquino RX3 back when it was silver before Rob Stanbury brought it and then sold it to Daquino.

he was known as the Dentist when a interview was done for fast fours.

Dentist's car in QLD - viscious cross-wind into the chutes.

Anthony's RX3 at WSID - popped/loose fitting dropped oil under right rear tyre.

Pure co-incidence. Let's not forget how well and more importantly, how consistantly this car has been campaigned for years.

co incidence was probably the word I was looking for

was just tying it back to that originally the Red Rx3 was the dentists first car which he sold. then brought back again then sold again to stanbury who then sold it to Daquino.

then the bug bit him again so he built another RX3.

and unfortunately both cars have gone bye bye within in such a short time frame

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!

      Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
