Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He LOL Whatever you did worked. 118k on the original gearbox and shafts - still pulls like a steam train Abused FTW!

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He I say the same thing to him every time I see him. Mine's built all by me (with the exception of roll cage welding) in my garage, it's done 116k and was abused by you before I got it. Every track day it goes...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Yeah I FULLY do mate - the amount of money spent building that car you want to enjoy it I'm in a similar boat - the sensible thing for me to do would be to buy a 2nd car ready for winter and start planning...

About 30mins - it's only 2 bolts really and the hose to undo. Make sure you undo the T40 (I think) torx screws that hold the standard discs on while the calipers are still on. If they're pretty seized you'll need someone to press the brake to stop the disc spinning while you undo them. Other...

Any time mate - had a fun night. More than happy with them - Drop in unsprung mass and being able to brake that little bit later should make a massive difference on track :)

Wow - it's been way too long since I've updated this Had a problem with the rear pads being worn at Donington/FCS - turns out one of the piston seals had gone and the piston on that side had seized out. Thought about rebuilding them but then found a mint set of calipers on ebay for £26 with...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He I'm sorry but I agree with Jay/Tony on this one Looking at all the bodged crap on that car from previous builders, I'd forget this year and start stripping it down You've only got 2 weeks till Donington...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He I really don't understand this either. I've ragged the s**t out of my car since I got it setup and the pure motorsport top bushes have no play in them at all! Maybe it's something to do with the juddering...

Looks a good show - and some of the rare cars like the cossie I can understand, especially if it's still got original paint, but having an aventador or ferrari and just polishing it is criminal. They're not exactly good looking cars and they definitely weren't built to be cleaned

In my experience - you get bent over One of those types of companies offered me £210 for my 70-200 f4L - sold it for more than double that They offered me £90 for a 50mm f1.4! LOL

FOOOOOKING hell don't use hammerite - it turns soft and gooey when it gets hot - that s**t will be sprayed everywhere first time you use the brakes hard If it really bothers you take the discs off - clean them all up with some wire wool till they're sparkling then spray them black with some...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Hehe just it's a bit soft and grainey - that's just me being critical of the photo though The driving - FULL of win! I'm gonna go back down on the 15th to see everyone racing so I'm sure there'll be...

Holy s**t I thought that rover was going up and over the bonnet! lol Awesome video

I have used them quite a few times, I write mobile apps occasionally you know - they are cheap for a reason.

Just seen this after you PM'd me mate That's not the same alarm as on my 172/182's - they don't have a control box in the car they just have a single plug going into a siren/box under the scuttle panel :(

This I agree with. The new OS X is a bit of a dissapointment, it's just lots of features that should have been out a year ago. The new iPhone is late and to be honest in this market will need to be pretty special to make an impact. The smaller tablet they're producing I think just muddies the...

FPMSL at threads like this - spot the people (geordieracer) who can't afford an iPhone and are peeved that their cheap copies won't be for sale much longer LOL Apple innovate - that's what they do. The iPhone changed the mobile phone market over night in a massive way. Lots of other companies...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Of course not mate :)

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He LOVE this car so much! FF Racing by Phil_Barker, on Flickr FF Racing - Focus by Phil_Barker, on Flickr A few "fly on the wall" shots The team FF Racing - Hard at work by Phil_Barker, on...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He This is technically a really bad photo as I snapped it quickly through the metal fence as I was still trying to get track-side when James went on a flying lap - but love the commitment into that corner :D...

Excellent result. I assume you guys are racing at Donnington in a few weeks with James.. Definitely popping over to watch that!

I think you'll be fine the way you've bolted it - the back of the the 106 without anything on it weighs nothing. I've picked a back half up and put it on the back of a trailer on my own before lol

No probs I'll rummage it out on Tuesday for ya

Welcome - get yourself along to our meet on the 9th september! Your car looks lush!

That'd be awesome mate I'm doing a big 12 day euro trip next year and can't decide whether to take the Clio or my Passat TDi that i'm buying in a few months Passat has air con but I'd love to take the Clio to monaco. All of my mates think I'm mad doing the riviera in a stripped out clio with...

If it's the same as a cup one - I still have mine in the garage from when I stripped my track car out Want me to bring it over on Wednesday with me? :)

Ok we could do an evening meet on the 9th at gridline - they say they're open till late. I'll book us in when we get some numbers. At least being in door we wont get rained on if the weather is a bit shite Let's say Evening 9th September then - who's interested and how many for karting...

Think the focused events one is for motorbikes Donington is stupidly expensive. From October onwards Javelin seem to have done a deal to get Donington back on their calendar and only £139 for a full day. I'll be doing the October 30th one I think as the last day before the Clio comes off...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He That video has fully made my mind up about suspension - AST's will be ordered for my xmas present to myself this year lol

Sunday 9th then? I'll ring a few people on tuesday and see if we can book some gokarting somewhere if everyone fancies it :D
