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

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
