    So collected the car last week from the Bodyshop! They have done an epic job on it and it's impossible to tell it was ever damaged so fair play to them! I think since they painted that panel white I've got a feeling the car might end up being painted white over winter along with the new...

    Yes buddy :) you going to enter? Would be good, I'm hoping you and Simon both enter! Gutted I'm not doing Oulton if only it was on the Sunday rather than Saturday I could have made it! My plan is Birkett, Snetterton and probably Brands Hatch Time Attack @ Night just trying to work out if my...

    Called the bodyshop for an update today, Hopefully the car is ready to collect tomorrow I did ask what they’ve had to do to it but didn’t really understand so guess I will see when I collect it. Just need to try and get a new rad for the car now as the current one has some damage from my tyre...

    Iceman had this issue I thought all they told him was to put an O ring on it! Hope you get sorted :)

    How did Oulton go chaps? Think it was the same weekend we were at Cadwell?

    If you don’t have a spare it will most likely go wrong, if you have a spare and leave it on the shelf for a race weekend it will definitely blow up 10 mins into testing :( Yes hoping not too serious I wouldn’t like to be the clutch cable having to pull the extra force of the springs on the...

    Dug this out this afternoon from my spares collection. Think after the clutch issue the other week it's time to get this in and hopefully eliminate any future clutch issues. So hopefully sometime before the Birkett will pull the engine and swap it over :)

    Ahh okay didn't realise you meant that! It dusted off a mclaren MP4 Gt3 can am at Brands GP surprised the guy so much that someone was on his rear bumper he went straight off into the gravel at the next corner haha! It has upset many Radicals in its time too Still playing around really it used...

    Haha I don’t think you can say it isn’t already fast but faster I agree ;) We have been talking about slicks but along with it will need to be new brake setup and the car is working so well at the moment it seems a shame to start making fundamental changes. Recently we have been playing with...

    Yeah it runs a 20vt audi engine spec’d along with the turbo to do best part of 600bhp! Bit OTT for what I would want to do with it I think

    BIGASH/FF-Racing X85 Clio Cup Racer Project

    Yes I still have the Exige but its an unfinished project and to finish it and do it properly (The only way I would want to do it) Will take a lot of time and lots more money. Then once its done to go and do a race weekend will be about 4 times the cost of one in the clio and I can’t see i’m...

    BIGASH/FF-Racing X85 Clio Cup Racer Project

    The turbo and sequential package is a big spend so doing the swap is really money dependant. 423 engine would be interesting at some point :) Haha we have lots of F4R shiny bits on the shelf but been choosing not to use them as selling them will put lots of money in the pot for the turbo build...

    Thanks Sonny, Not sure yet for next year really. The plan was to go turbo engine with sequential and keep developing the car but had lots of fun at the weekend so will see how the next few races go and decide from there probably :) Will see how busy I am over winter too! If I get time i’ve got...

    Thanks for the nice comments chaps :) What adjust it out on the chassis/rear beam mount? Yes near the fuel filler cap Yes was very squeaky bum... trying to work out which way to go in a split second wasn’t the best. No I was on my normal box but was taking it easy to make sure the temporary...

    Hi Jack I did wonder if you were his Son or a friend sorry didn’t want to offend anyone lol! Was great to meet you both and your help was massively appreciated. I think my brain must of been very tired the amount of times I messed the release bearing up! Yes I was really surprised when Simon...

    Thanks guys :) Haha thanks mate! Its the 1st of November would be good to see you there :) Thanks mate, Yeah wasn’t too bad the car could be better :) Yeah exactly! Yes should pull fine, the bodyshop are hoping they dont need to weld in a rear wing or sill but will have to see when they...

    Cadwell weekend report: This time a week ago we were trucking upto Cadwell, it was a great weekend wish I could do it all again every weekend! So testing didn’t really go to plan, New brake pads causing vibrations and the new tyres not working well were annoying but coming into the Mountain...

    My new racecar project (Icemans old shell)

    I’ve done well to have 3 years racing and this be the worst damage so can’t really complain :) As Dave says I had the same situation but roles reversed last year with Tony and know how bad I felt so could completely see it from your point of view! Glad your car hasn’t got much damage, bit gutted...

    What a day so far! On pole this morning by a second but then put it in the tyre wall at 30mph after dodging a slowing car. Won the first race and had a good tussle but was on the wrong tyres for the conditions so the car wasn't great to drive. Hopefully it'll dry up or get damp again rather...

    BIGASH/FF-Racing X85 Clio Cup Racer Project

    So not the greatest day, slight judder on the brakes which I think was the new pads. Also the new pads stop the car so well but love locking up so I flatspotted a tyre on the first lap of the day. Went out in the second session on new tyres to bed them in and set pressures for the race but after...

    Thanks for the kind words :) today didn't go to plan update to follow! It's just 6 cars per team so I'm in a team with another Clio, a Caterham, a Morgan, a Ferrari and something else. Yes old harnesses will be for sale but only the drivers ones need the passenger side still for laps ;)...

    Cadwell Park Weekend Had a very busy few days getting the car ready for Cadwell, the car needed a full fluids change, spark plugs, dodgy injector replacing, new air filter, swap track day brake pads to the ones I use for racing and the list goes on. Lock wire rear brake pads to stop them...
