Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Thanks for all the comments guys :) I'm away for the long weekend until Llandow so the car is packed and ready to go on Tuesday night and will collect the Clio en-route :) So excited!

Thanks for coming on here Yanoo and giving some information :) Yes I thought that it was the lack of heat shield and the exhaust being closer that would cause it! I love the product and it really helps with...
I've taken the rear adjusters out of mine at the moment and it's still not exactly low! Once you do that you then obviously loose the ability to corner weight the rear :(

Haha Tom used to say it was driven not cleaned so fair play for that :) Exactly thats the whole thing about the clio's that keeps me coming back for more!
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Thanks mate :) I'm sure it will!
Nothing in all fairness, we are swapping out the the Yanoo kit for the standard kit to eliminate it for now and then we will play around with it once we get the car reliable...

Nice read mate :) I remember seeing this car when I used to visit JMS! Nothing ever goes to plan on these cars does it :( Good news on the RS2 they are a great bit of kit
That's an odd one Pete :( I hope it doesn't re-occur!
I've got a pedal you can have FOC when I next see you but unfortunately sold my TB a few months back
I'm sure you'll be able to find a trackday and get sorted! Fingers crossed :)

Pre-During-Post Anglesey:
So before we went upto Anglesey I had been prepping the car from after the race at Brands. As most of you know I'm pretty clueless with spanners. Below are the pictures from the few...

Dohhh lol! I do yes :) But I have realised that my little brother is away on Holiday so I think I will go to his house and pinch it lol! (It's not the one pictured in the trackday thread :p)

There is only one interesting picture anyway ;) Shall I text it over to you?
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Haha what timing ;) I'm just writing it lol! Need to load the photo's so guess it'll be another hour!
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
No I don't even know that 5th exists yet lol! I think for now I have got to work with the stock gearbox mainly for money reasons :(
Ohh dear I feel for you mate :( If I lived closer then I would offer to...
I'd go with opposite to how it is now and along past the cam caps and then behind the heat shield :)
Haha the spare parts collections starts here ;) You'll end up taking half a car with you in no time :p
Good work mate :) We run the oil temp sensor in the sandwich plate and then the pressure one on a boss that comes from the oil cooler. I'm sure they do thermo plates with four take off's :)
Look forward to seeing pic's of the brake servo line's best way to do it IMO
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Fair play Mark :)
I agree with you in part and I do enjoy the technical challenges but having mechanical failure after mechanical failure has become tiresome and has left me just pissing money up the wall. I...

No mate was CTS will be going to Agency if it needs anything in future!
Jay told me you already had it out :) Good going! Yes definitely worth checking it over, hope it's okay and save a few pennies
Thanks...
Cracking write up mate :) Was such a great day, made me actually want to fix my car rather than burn it ;)
Can't wait to see where you finish at Anglesey! I thought one of us had a picture of when you wet yourself but I just checked and I don't have it :( lol
Really neat job on the catches :) Worth taking the time to get right as they always look bad if not done well!
I would personally bin the plastic fittings for the fan, they were pant's on mine and kept coming off, I've just used some M5 stud and then tap washers just to allow for expansion :)...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Thank you mate! I couldn't believe it aswell :(
I'm not too sure myself but I will update when I hear back from TDF :) That is so kind mate thank you! I really hope it doesn't need a re-build as it was only...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
