Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Can that BMW legally pull that trailer mate?
Glad you are enjoying the car!
You going for a Gripper? Thats what I have... it stops car washing wide in my experience. Is that right??
I didnt think it made THAT much difference if I am 1000% honest. Cars pulls on the line you want rather than understeering on.
Is that what its supposed to do?
I have a Gripper in a...
WAY over £50k has been spent on them!!!! They are proper ex TOP level race cars that have now come down to club level racing.
and they arent cheque book race teams... they are just people who realise that the best way to be competitive is to buy a car that NOW isnt that expensive but was once...
have you thought about Caterham Academy?

You can sell car at end of year if you want some money back.
Do a few trackdays in the Clio... get Clio thing out your system AND have some fun in the 182. (sounds to me like you always been a fan... and now they are worth pennies you wanna do whole Clio race car thing?)
Then buy a proper racecar IF you wanna go racing.
Or prep and race the Clio! you...
You clearly didn't read what I wrote then did you...
If you are doing the mech work yourself then its all very different isn't it!
Those hours tinkering around, perfecting this little bit, making that little bracket etc etc... soon add up if you are paying £70+ an hour labour rates!
If you...
IMHO your budget is way to small to build a remotely competitive Clio.
Sorry!
Obviously it depends if you are doing the work yourself? or paying someone to build it?
Its too small either way! but if you aren't doing 100% labour yourself... and you want a race winning capable Clio? I think...
Nope... makes the Westy work look DIY. Its OFF the charts. Seriously cool install. PROPER car. The very very best of everything. Its a masterpeice!
Will get some pics
I'd take the grand off Paul and move on to be honest.
And I wouldn't do one last day in it either... coz thats when you will break something! coz thats just how life is!
My Clio exhausts too loud as well. Will buy one off Fred when he does his if he says its gonna be quiet. First thing I did when I got mine was take off the Decat and put a sport cat in there... that was a Yozza. Not sure what systems on my current Clio actually! Same Sportcats on there though
Nah Spikys car is on another level. VERY fast car. I had good play with him in my 911 and bedford one year. Take the main straight out of the equation where the 911 starts putting on BIG speed and they were almost evenly matched!
Nah. not me. May have been Roy driving or maybe Maria
Got me thinking of Combe now... we had some fun there in our Clios. They were VERY evenly matched that day!
