I use a snap on pry bar. If you put the cranked end against where the floor pan curves upwards towards the bulkhead, you can use the bracket that secures the bush as your lever pivot. Then it's simply a case of push with one hand and pass the bolt through the bracket with the other. You can use...

I got my friend who's a graphic designer to copy the cup 172 logo so I could have some stickers made for my door pillars.

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Just watched the video James! You were right as well! I'd have definitely been losing my temper with the amount of people getting in the way! Lol! You could do with a shift light at eye level as well. Saves...

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

Yes mate a massive amount. It starts working at around 15-20mph and the vents are directional as well. You can have cool air blowing in your face or down near your jacobs! Lol! I fitted mine after me and the missus got stuck in roadworks on the Brussels ring road last year. We were on the way...

It tightens the front end up quite nicely having the bushes fitted. It takes me longer to lift the car up in the air and put it on axle stands than it does to fit the bushes!! They're not difficult to fit at all if you've got the tool for the job! And I don't mean fitting longer bolts or using g...

Cheers phil! Shame I couldn't have stayed longer at donington to have a nose around yours! Roof vents ftw!!!

Yes that's it mate. There's still a small amount that comes through, but nothing drastic. Not to noisy at triple figures either!! Iirc, I paid £255 delivered for mine. It needed some fettling but nothing drastic. Yeah I've seen that mate! Thanks! Nah never got one but I might get in touch with...

Lol! I normally get put through to the head man in their parts dept tbh. Only problem I've ever encountered with them was when I was trying to get the grp n timing tool off them (guy who sold me the ecu was sending it when he'd found it - 'it's in my garage somewhere' - pah! Never showed up!!)...

I have the fastest and most viscous springer spaniel in the world guarding that car, so you'll be lucky!! Lol! Tony mentioned to me about wanting to run a roof vent on their car, but when he asked he got told no. He also said some guy was in cscc in a rover with a roof vent and got entered in...

As James has said, mine is a genuine Renault part. It wasn't £400 quid though mate!!! I got it direct through r-sport and it was almost half the price of that!! I've got pictures of how I installed it I'll post up as it means I can remove it without being left with a gaping hole in the roof skin.

Ah yeah I can see the typo now! It should have said, I had the holes cut in the windows when they were made. They're polycarbs all round and were made by plastics4performance. They use a cnc machine to do the holes so they're accurate. Whilst they weren't cheap for the options I chose, they are...

Thank you Fred! I appreciate that! :-)

You have to re-drill the megane block to accept the 182 box mounting holes. Iirc you need to swap the sump over as well.

438 inlet cam and standard exhaust cam would work well too.

Yes, but also when it's worn the bite point on the pedal will be higher as well.

I'll be there on wednesday as well! I'll see you if your there relatively early. I'll be in my Clio as well - minus the new suspension mods though. ;)

Is that meant for me Tony? If so, thanks! Lol!

Is this much of a pita to do Tony?

I had to holes cut into the windows when they were made mate. Tbh, they don't do a great deal anyway! Them pictures are how it looked last year. I have a roof vent fitted now to get cool air into the car. I'll get some up to date pictures this week if your interested? Btw, the roll centre...

Here are the pictures you requested mate: 304144_2403005880259_1404475619_32927701_987099520_n by NorthloopCup, on Flickr 289039_10150803659595107_748806229_o by NorthloopCup, on Flickr 297616_2403006280269_1400939916_n by NorthloopCup, on Flickr Enjoy! :-)

Fuel Cell 003 by NorthloopCup, on Flickr This is the fuel tank i designed and lars fabricated for me in one of my previous projects! Astra Gsi fuel system by NorthloopCup, on Flickr The atl collector does a excellent job and has the trap doors your describing of fitting in yours.

Lol! Ok will do! I've done lots of thinking outside the box mate, just don't do much shouting about it. Wait till I reveal my new engine........lol!

Pip pins are difficult to explain mate! They have a button on the end that when pressed, allows a ball to go into the body of the pin so it can be withdrawn. Demon Tweeks sell them mate. Yes mate I have a few pictures of it I can post up if you like. No project thread on it though. I've got...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He I will do with great pleasure mate!! Lol!

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Lol! This is assuming they don't post any more of your parts to me yeah?!

Pip pins for the boot lid hinges and aerocatches would be a possible solution if they aren't mate. I've removed the strengthening ribs from my bonnet to save a bit of weight and used 4 aerocatches to hold it on. It flaps about a bit, but it was still going strong after 135! Lol!

Could you not mount a small alloy fuel tank inside the original tank? That way it looks totally standard from the outside, but gives you the ability to run a minimal amount of fuel. Assuming of course the car will be used for sprints and not tintops stuff mate.

Those fibreglass panels look to be excellent quality from the pictures!

10 minutes toe out works well. If you readjust the camber you will need to re do the alignment and you will see a rediculous amount of toe in. Toe out is twitchy but gives nice turn in. It's all about what your used to though and that's where it comes down to personal preference. Also how are...
