    Cup with some new turbines

    I really like them although I am a bit biased as mines been on turbines (although in the original style- grey with the exposed metal) for the last year lol! The colours different but compliments the blue quite well I think. Only thing, what size are the tyres as they look quite chunky compared...

    Icemans Britcar Endurance project 182

    Did a bit of hunting and found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e72mj8svSTg It's certainly different but pretty old school lol!

    Icemans Britcar Endurance project 182

    Looks like a Sierra dash and mirrors to me although sounds like no cossie I've ever heard lol! Just realised it says on the video tags Sierra, cosworth etc etc. Go me, I got it right haha :)

    Lightened flywheel *video*

    The reason it's drops so quickly is down to the fact that the flywheel doesn't have the momentum that a flywheel of normal weight would to keep it going. The more weight/mass, the more momentum/inertia it's got which keeps the movement going for longer. If the flywheel is lighter then the engine...

    182 boot floor on a 172

    As above, cut it out and weld a plate in if it bothers you that much. Have a look at Kenny_cups (think that's his username) thread as he did this in his but only as it's being built as a hardcore track car amongst other reasons, it might help you out a bit if you can't get hold of a new floor.

    Icemans Britcar Endurance project 182

    This was at Brands a couple of weeks ago testing when I was doing a trackday there and it looks amazing, best 205 I think I've ever seen by far! Extremely quick and seemed very well setup too, cocked a rear wheel on near enough every corner though lol! Left me for dead within seconds each time...

    Icemans Britcar Endurance project 182

    The diff route certainly seems like the better idea at the mintue and could gain you those extra couple of seconds a lap. Are you going for the gripper diff or the quaife? Can't remember what you said about them a while ago. Have you got any pics of the car since it's been stickered up etc? I...

    Mudflaps - Yay or Nay?

    On a non sport, I'd say the standard moulded ones look fine but personally don't think they'd suit the sports. A definite no to rally flaps, unless of course it was a rally car and then it could be acceptable lol!

    Lucky man is lucky.

    Wow, that is a mess and he is extremely lucky to say the least. Can't believe how he got his helmet/hans device wedged around the cage :/ Really does show cages do their jobs!

    Track Car Nurburgring Toy

    Mine being on 15's changed it so much, felt better in every way. Good to hear, a bit earlier than before aren't you? I'm going back but not until the 21st July. Can't wait :)

    Track Car Nurburgring Toy

    Looking good, really want to do Oulton aswell. I've got myself some Pilot Sport Cups for my next trackday so I'll experience the semi-slick feeling then :/ I remember seeing this at the 'Ring last year in July but never got chance to speak to you or see in the car park etc, was going well then too!

    My Trip to Antarctica

    This trip looks epic. There's no other words to describe it, it looks absolutely beautiful there and the photos you've taken are lovely :) You've definitely got me wanting to go there now, never even really thought of it before reading this tbh but looks like the trip to the USA the missus...

    Tutorial - Creating a rig shot in Photoshop

    Looks great and seems like a really good guide. I love photography and using my camera but I never really do anything with any of my shots. Things like this really make me want to get into editing them :)

    BIGASH/FF-Racing X85 Clio Cup Racer Project

    Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Cheers mate, a few people have said that :o No worries, I was either fiddling with the car or buzzing round in mine or my mates cars most of the afternoon anyway so wasn't really about. I'm sure I'll see you...

    Pictures of Clio's @ Brands 12th March

    That would be mine, cheers mate :o I wasn't too sure how people would react on here to a stickered up Clio lol but it seems a few people like it, hopefully going for a cup racer rep type of thing :) Matt, I've already said it but top photos mate, they really are awesome. As you can see I've...

    BIGASH/FF-Racing X85 Clio Cup Racer Project

    Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Such a shame James but at least you've found out what the problems are hopefully. One way to look at it is at least the problems are showing themselves now rather than in a race. Was good to meet you...

    Burpspeed Version 2: Race Car Build

    That's good to hear then, seems Danny did a good job with the engine too. I think I got a couple in towards the end but there were alot of things in the way/ yielding place etc but it wasn't as bad as a couple of weeks ago, it was alot better organised than the day I was meant to do so glad...
