Oops! Sorry about the `e` Scott!

Popped down to the Autosport Show 2009 on Saturday. Radical had a great stand and the new cars look the business. The new SR3 was particularly good! Had a long chat with Mick Hyde and Phil Abbott. Im still working on the first trackday at Silvertsone with respect of getting us all a discount on the list price. I will keep you all posted.

In the meantime, if any of you know any other radical owners who might be interested in ROC and/or the trackday please pass on my details. The more of us that join, the bigger the discount for all of us.

Many thanks,
Will

Hi Will...

You must be getting desperate inviting random people to our trackday who are selling Radicals on Racecars Direct That was an old advert you responded to from when I was trying to sell my Clubsport last year..

[Willbee]

Haha, I wouldnt call it desperate, just keen to get to get the numbers up to as many as possible. How`s the rebuild going by the way scott?

Slowly... I takes time to assemble all the suspension so that it does not bind up when you do the bolts up tight.. I have made new bushes (asetal) and where required new sleaves so that they are the correct length, this way when you do the bolts up tight it clamps the sleave so that the bush rotates smoothly on it.. with the origional set-up from Radical some of the sleaves were too short so if you did the bolts up tight the suspension would not run freely as it was rotating on the bolt shank and the bushes were rubbing against the chassis.. it would be much easier if the cars were made to better tolerance's (Sorry Radical - mine is only chassis No4 they maybe better today)

I chassed MVS Racing up today and the new PRO6 style side pods, rear carbon bi-plane wing, front splitter/diffuser, extended rear diffuser, roll bar fairing, and wheel arch vents should be with me for Feb..

Hopefully the Hi-spec calipers should arrive later this week..

[Willbee]

Well it sounds like its all starting to come together. especially once you get the new parts on from MVS. Keep up the good work and keep us posted with the build.

Just out of interest, is there going to be a seperate website / forum for the ROC, or is it going to run on PH ?

A ROC website is high on my agenda along with finalising arrangements for the fourthcoming inaugural trackday. Watch this space and your inbox.

Pics at last - sorry about the quality

Newley powder coated chassis - It was red!

Rear Suspension completed and Engine in - catch tank still to install..


New Black acetal bushes


Front Suspension and shiny new floor pan - and yes that is carpet - I have a hoover for cleaning up so its nice to lay on..


Next stage is to comlete the front suspension and start to fit the dash ready for wiring.....
