Yup I really love the effects you can get for architectural photography with them. One of my mates played with one years ago in London (but on a crop body) - got some lovely shots with it

Uh huh! Me and my mate played with one on his 5 mkIII. Insane. I'd love a proper fish eye lens at some point

Yeah i'm game. Worth getting there early for a spot and some bacon sarnies :D Should have a load of new camera gear arriving on Friday so looking forward to this now

Ooof 6.30am start on a sunday LOL Aye we do seem to keep missing each other

I'd reshell it - can't be much more than a few weekends work I've seen 2 182's sell for under £400 in the last few weeks with engine issues. By the time you buy one and sell the leather, wheels, standard bits - you'd be in profit after the re-shell easily

Good god that's clean. Love this car so much The stance is perfect!

The iMessage bug is driving me nuts. Each morning it won't send ANY iMessages for some reason. They all just hang on the "sending" thing. I have to fully turn the phone off and back on again then it says they all failed to send and I can retry and they go through I know apple have promised a...

I'm going straight up A1 from Lincoln - then off at the A64 junction Would be good to meet somewhere as I'm on my own this year and i'll be a bit bored of rattley throttle body noises by then lol

I know it's 100miles from you - but you should take a trip to the Malton Big Breakfast next weekend The place is swarming with supercars, it's epic and both me and Leeds182 will be there in our throttle bodied cars so you could have a good old nose around them and go out for a few passenger...

I plan on buying a spare gearbox to nick the CWP out of to send to quaife - and I was planning on stripping it down for the same reason you have. I've never stripped a gearbox and I'm eager to see how they work :)

Awesome thanks - I'll be there!!

When is donington guys? I have bought some new camera gear and I'd love to be there taking photos on the last day :)

They will make 215 with engine mods too. Above 215 is mega money. But you won't get 215 from just bolting a set onto a standard engine. Most will produce 195ish or 205ish with cams

Ohhhhhhhhhh..... ok lol

The column doesn't seem to offer any extra resistance when it's turned off - just the manual rack being heavy as you would expect

No offense dude - but mine makes 194bhp. What were you expecting? It's not cammed so mid 190's is about right In fact yours is making the same power, the same torque and the exact same curves as mine does

When do they go on sale? ;)

Didn't James say his gearbox oil was getting way too hot? I know a few lads that have fitted gearbox oil coolers to their race cars

LOL I really wasn't trying to accuse anyone of anything I understand racing is racing - it's just on the videos that same tyre locks up on most corners so I'd just wondered why it hadn't triggered a "something is wrong with my car" reaction. But yeah now James has replied I can totally...

Aye true

No no - I give up LOL I'm not saying I would have retired because I hit someone else - but it seems like the car was skidding a lot under breaking before and after the accident. I just wondered why James didn't just head back to the pits as something seemed wrong with the car. I was just...

No yeah I read that - what I was wondering was it seemed to lock up a few times then badly and hit Tony. At that point I think I would have called it a day as either the brakes were having issues or there was oil on the tyres. Seems a bit weird carrying on for the rest of the race and at a fair...

Just watched the video - OUCH. Have to ask though why did you carry on to the end of the race? Did you think it was just a lock up rather than an oil leak?

Ooooh I take it you could fit my quaife as well then. That means I can just bring you my engine and gearbox this winter and let you do the lot! Good sales pitch! haha

Or maybe you're boiling fluid because the standard disc and caliper heat dissipation is shite and a £10 bit of ducting would solve the problem? ;)

I wish I'd remembered to watch it - would have bought it for that just for the loom/ecu - then sold the rest on

I wouldn't even bother with that mate lol You can go down the "why did the cup racers use them" route all you want but it's smacking your head against a brick wall. IMO there's a big difference between getting pads hot and getting your calipers, wheels, tyres and fluid hot too. Yes pads...

Creaking steering rack - good luck A mate of mine had that on his 200, took years of arguing and renault eventually replaced the steering column, epas system, steering rack, loads of other bits - I believe it's still creaking and knocking :(

Bog standard 172 cup engine on 118k miles Jenvey ITB's - 90mm trumpets - omex 600

Does that 106 have one of the usual 'well built' engines? ;)
