Radical Progress...
Some of you may remember that I bought a Radical a while back to make road-legal. It didn't work out for me, so it went off to a mate.
Was an SR3 Tracksport with a ZZR1100 engine, but Stewart has since fitted a Busa engine and if that wasn't enough - a Rotrex supercharger!
He's just got some wiring / plumbing to sort out, then on to the bodywork!
Really like the Motoscope-Mini display... it's feckin tiny!

PS what airfilter is that? I need one to fit my rotrex and am a little reluctant to pay £80 for a K&N one

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Will find out about the filter and get back top you David.
The Motoscope-Mini has pretty much have every function you need for the road... the only bit that might be a problem for IVA is the edges (not a prob
on the Radical though as there is bags of room behind the wheel).

nice but i dont think that intercooler position is great unless it has a huge scoop to force the air through

It does indeed... the Radical has large side-pods.

I love radical's chassis detail
I love all the details on a radical chassis, all that extra bracing and gusseting just does it for me! One of the magazines recently did an article on
them crash testing one of their latest chassis, something few other companies bother with (or can afford), it was an impressive display of designing
in safety and made you seriously wonder what the outcome of most other commercially available designs would be. My guess is a few would do OK, most
would do a worse but still acceptable job of protecting their occupants and a few would be an absolute liability.
We all pays our money and makes our choices….
On another note: If anyone has the information I would love to know the front and rear suspension geometry for a contemporary radical to use as a
comparison for the midi I’m working on

Nice car although not sure about the cable tied brake lines on the last picture, can't see Mr IVA liking them either although I've been
wrong on many occasions!
Cheers

as i understand, cable ties are quite ok for brake lines. maybe not rigid ones, but they look like flexi ones

LOL this brings back memories of when I spannered for an SR3 team!!
The driver wiped the whole offside out of the car including ripping both the front and rear corners off, tearing out the wishbone brackets and
actually tearing a big chunk of the rear chassis corner out altogether.
That was in morning practise.................
Radical reckoned new chassis and give up for the next couple of meetings...........
I had new tubes, brackets etc fabricated, welded into the chassis, corners rebuilt, borrowed bodywork stuck on and between two of us got the car out
for the race 5 hours later.
Had to miss qualifying but still finished 3rd in class iirc!!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning
