Gavn Posted 23December, 2021 Report Share Posted 23December, 2021 Hyundai's currently offering full factory warranty, inclusive of track work, for very modest $ if you're looking at other badges & they're fun to drive. So many options! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They installed the spare motor which blew in qualifying. The spare spare motor then went boom in race 1. After that they packed up and went home… hugh and DJM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper track car I race against radicals , sorry nothing cheap about them and parts and repairs can only be sourced through Radial themselves . Those of us that are owner drivers , really dislike the Radical rental crowd , none of them can drive and want to run into everyone else 911CSR and GC9911 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wasn't getting a 5S-GTE built for my MR2 (stronger 5S-FE block from a Camry, modded 3S-GTE head and forged internals running flex fuel) I'd consider a modified 2GR V6. Popular engine swap for those keeping it in the family. Otherwise people K swap... My MR2 was bought as a cheap track hack. Bought for sub $10K with 240 RWHP so theoretically cheap and potentially fast enough for my first track car. As per Hugh's equation, current engine rebuild validates pick two... hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't really ask them in all honesty. If worst comes and they won;t let it run in Radical events, will just use it as a track car and go from there. We are fully re-wiring the car and building an Emtron ECU patch harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other events you would be able to get involved in EG Super sprinting or the Pro sport and Super sports series those cater for car like the radicals .. I registered My Stohr for the State supersprint series and my Clubman car for the Clubman series .. 911CSR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
