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

Sean.

Holy shite! Glad to hear the driver is ok.

And what an impressive series of photos!

HOLY SH!T thats a tough break, hope the driver comes back bigger and better than ever!!!

Kudos to the photographer its a great sequence of photo's.

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.

Adrian

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

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
