Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He 2nd gear! Thats mid-high rpm in 3rd gear druids!

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He James - Having watched that vid, I swear you said to me that you had a diff in that car? Looking at Druids it seems to be lighting the wheel/s up like mad!

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Told you it was close Tony!

Sorry for the delay, completely missed this! As a weekend car they are fantastic in short, very capable chassis and extremely quick. The relentless power band can get you up to very naughtly speeds without trying/realising. For me I feel like I can only drive the car at 4/5 tenths when going...

Lol thought as much!

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Is this done yet? ;)

Lol, cheeky! So who was this engineer that told you about stress forces etc? Shall copy your layout for mine so then if they do get wise we can just say it's factory! ;)

I think Total control racing (TCR) do/used to do rebuilds on them.

Looks like its had a front ender if you ask me.

I can talk from experience owning a 172 Cup, i'd still have the 182 FF. Xenons/cruise control/climate control are big things for me, even though I love my trackdays. The only other thing that I wanted at first from the 182 was the lack of ABS, however after the first week of owning the 182...

Arctic 182 FF with turinis. Comfort/Cup looks/Spec, what else would you want?

That's bodies and cams Mike, bodies will make less. I'm not discounting ITB's either in my post, I think they're a very useful if you plan on more power like cams etc. In real life terms the extra 10bhp between all the modifications really makes not a lot of difference when driving so for me...

IIRC you need a FBW throttle body for Hill climbs? Correct me if I'm wrong. Anyways the makes the RS-2 fit into that category well. There's no doubt that a set of catcam 438's will give you similar if not more power in some cases but in my opinion torque duration over peak torque makes for a...

Do you want out and out power or drivability? Is the car for track or just a daily? I had an RS-2 and loved it, driven an ITB'd car and it felt good also. But I'd save the extra pennies and go with an RS-2 with grp. N timing tool and not both with cams either. Money better spent elsewhere tbh.

Jesus you cant even start to imagine how jealous I am of this car! Perfect colour combo and looks like it'll be driven properly!

Great first race to the season at Brands! I must admit me and Mike missed the safety car boards at first so we thought we'd lost our chance of leapfrogging a few cars, we were lucky to get out the pits before they put the closed it also! Dont know how it worked in our favor but we'll take it!

Lol, get over yourself princess.

That would explain the scuff on the wing/wheel. Would of thought there'd be more damage given how much they touched from that picture!

How much for some steel wheels! If your going to go with some then get some 8" wide ones, will fit perfectly on the front and with a bit of arch rolling will look nice on the rear.

Yep, max of 25mm per side.

See the racecar was in at Edwards Motorsport having an exhaust! Had my cage done there, quality of works sublime!

Lol at that Vid Tony! Cool as a cucumber even when swapping lock from side to side, down a gear and plod on as if nothing happened!

Obviously you don't get as much seat time as a trackday, however everything thing else like getting ready/checks to the car etc if you do that yourself fills the day out nicely. It's very alluring indeed... Maybe too alluring for me come to think of it... May have to sort that.

Lol

Race entry. Trailor hire. Transportation fuels. Racecar fuel. Percentage of tyre/brakes wear etc. Think there's a few other little things ive got noted somewhere but they are the main ones. Nick

Roughly £1000 per race meet from when I priced it up last year. Half that if you had a second driver.

Only just seen this thread, looking awesome so far! Loving how many holes you've done so far! lol

Russ - Guessing the cage wouldnt conform to MSA standards will it?

Jesus Christ! Came out of absolutely nowhere! The chap on board in that video was lucky to get away without contact!

Yeah by all means use the pictures matey, photobucket has killed them a little so if you want the larger 'raw' photos I could always send them over. Nick
