Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Team America ftw! Lol

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Yes just fit the biggest alternator you can then mate in that case! The 135amp one may even curl up and die with that much current draw! Lol!

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Sleeved the tie rod mate. Worked a treat!

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He You can "extend" the length of the track rod arms mate FYI. A bit of fabrication needed, but easily doable.

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Without knowing what the draw of the ignition circuit is, it's hard to say 100% mate, but I doubt it tbh. Worst case scenario is that you need to upgrade to the bigger alternator because it kills the 75amp...

Re: 172 Cup track toy! A mate of mine did the same with his r27 Clio! The salesmans face must have been a picture as he bounced off the limiter on the way out the dealership!! Lol

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He A mate of mine has this set up on his turboed nova and he used the box of tricks off eBay for controlling the amount of assistance you get. It's not a bad little mod at all either, but I can't say he's ever...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Lol!! On a side note, I've watched your 'ring lap now. With some kerb action (in the right places) and some adjusted lines, you'll go very fast round there mate.

I'd contact bilstein and ask whether they can revalve them mate. If they can I'd say it's worth a punt.

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He You'll have to get your neighbour to give you a push with the car! Pmsl!

Re: 172 Cup track toy! My first engine was run in on the engine dyno, but every other one I've built after that has been driven like I stole it! Lol! I've never had one fail, or make poor power for that matter so that goes nicely with what swede cup is saying! Lol! I run mineral oil as well...

It all depends on what you use the car for really. If you go to stiff at the rear and the car gets used on the road it will swap ends quicker than the blink of an eye and you'd need to wear a gum shield when you drive it! Lol! It's worth keeping in mind the lever ratio of the rear axle as...

Through trial and error mate really. There's a calculation I used that I found somewhere (can't remember where from - I'll have a dig about) but it was a very involved bit of working out iirc. I've had the rear dampers revalved to match as well which helps. They are static rate as well.

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Yes mate, the ring. I've done in excess of 350+ laps now and go as often as possible. I've seen all the crashes and unfortunately witnessed a death as well. I totally agree with your opinion about the place...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Lol! Yes, possibly a waste of time! Still excellent times around there though considering it was your first time as well. Not sure if I'll drive over on 888's next year or load them up in the boot and...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Lol! What was your best time at the ring then mate?

No problem at all mate! I got them made by a company in sheffield called Coilsprings. I've used them loads of time for springs, and they're excellent!!!

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He How come the camera is on the piss for the videos??? I forgot to ask you the other day! Lol

Holy s**t!!!! That would seriously flick my top note having to wait that long! Do you and Tony not bother doing any track days to keep you going?

Here are the kw v2 spring specs I have. Approx 30mm lowering from standard height. 0-25mm travel: 215lbs 25-50 - 435lbs 50-75 - 667lbs 75-100 - 1059lbs. To get some lower and stiffer springs you'll need to get custom made stuff mate. This was what I did with mine.

I've got the rates at home. Will post them up in the morning.

Standard bonnets weigh in at around 10-12 kgs. If you remove the strengthening ribs like I've done you can get a standard one to weigh in at 5.2 kgs. The weight of the fibreglass boot lid you have is impressive as well! If you remember would you be able to weigh the cup spoiler? From memory i...

There used to be one of these knocking around in Coalville Leicestershire.

The point I was trying to make is that you can't just say 'oh 120mm long trumpets will give you x amount of torque' as there are variables that will make that figure higher or lower. Incorrect cam timing for instance can have a really dramatic effect on the f4r engines, even in standard trim...

Re: Namakubi Clio 172 Cup "track project" I use Harry's laptimer as well and there is literally every track in the world on there!! It's the pro version I got. Definitely worth the money I'd say!!

There are too many variables that come into play, so there's no way of saying how much extra torque it will gain or if it increases the torque spread I'm afraid. The mapper and cam timing are the 2 biggest variables in it. It's a bit like asking 'how long is a piece of string?' if you see what...

I see no reason why it wouldn't fit tbh.

The rear does have a anti roll bar as standard on a 1*2. They're welded into the rear beam across its length to reduce the amount of twist it has. Not sure if you could fit one to a 1.2 though.

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Are you sure your not confusing it with his power steering reservoir??

The weight of my bonnet with all the inner skin removed is 5.2kg. I weighed the bonnet hinges and the guts I'd removed and seem to remember it being around the 4-5kg region. I would therefore estimate a standard bonnet to be in the region of 8-9kg mate.
