Your write up's are always great :) Sorry to hear about the issue in the race, I can imagine you would have been so gutted! I get annoyed when stuff breaks in testing never mind in a race when you're leading! Great job with getting your lap time down in quali too :) Hope the engine issue is an...

I failed at getting the wheels for free even after spending the whole morning on the phone trying to persuade a couple of companies lol! Managed to sort a decent deal on them in the end but not free :(

Ahh perfect mate :) Yes sounds like a plan to me thanks!
Sorry Rob I should of been more clear the wrap is being re-done FOC because the current wrap is un peeling from the whole car and the only solution is...
Looking good :)!
I used rubber tap washers on mine just to allow for expansion in the rad but I don't know if that was the correct thing to do!
I run a 10" fan now and it's rated to 11amp's so I need to get a 15A connector I guess your's will be similar :)

I would love what you can give ;)
Yeah if you get time mate that would be great! No rush though I'm not going anywhere :)
Managed to get OZ to commit to getting me a set of the wheels from Italy in time for Anglesey so they will arrive the day before lol! Tyres have arrived too so hopefully we should ready to go next week :)
On another note though the car has nearly finished prep thanks to TDF today and is now...

Thank you very much :)! Yeah it wan't on circuit for long :( Hopefully next time!
I had every intension of going but unfortunately have to go to Cumbria to collect a seat and then over to Anglesey for Testing so not going to be able to go on the Thursday anymore :( I have got 4 tickets which are going to go unused so if anyone wants me to post them to you just let me know!
Looks like an epic trip mate! I got offered the chance to go to Le Mans on the Thursday and turned it down :( Really regret not going!
I'm in love with your car! One of my favourites on the forum :) Keep up the good work and I want to see it on track soon ;)
Wow that is anything but a standard! Nice work :) Thanks mate don't worry if you can't i'm not going to anything to mine till July so I've got a while to devise a plan!
I'm not too sure yet unfortunately, I wanted to but have got some credit with bookatrack that I need to use up asap so may end up doing their day the week before :(
Also was tempted to do this one, it's £6 cheaper if you book direct with http://www.circuit-days.co.uk :) Although I doubt they do additional drivers for £1!

Yeah definitely mate just never ending bank account drainer lol! I knew what I was getting myself in for though :)
OZ can't get me a set in time for Anglesey though and I need to try and get an identical set...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Apparently so :( I called them to order some tyres as they are mega cheap for the 888's but then they said they aren't going to Anglesey this year! I'm not having much luck trying to find a local garage to the...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
The new Sabelt seat arrived a few hours ago and still isn't right :( It's not the end of the world as now just going to swap for the same seat but without the added head wrap round so should be able to see in...
Hi Hal,
Thanks for the PM :) I didn't even realise that gripper did a dog box for the JC5! Have you managed to work out if you can put the internals into another box? I know that the twinge one requires a different diff so I guess different internals.
Ahhh I never realised that would help with...

Haha yes I was trying to keep a decent gap to the people in front as didn't want to get caught up in anyones accident lol!
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
I can't imagine it's the nicest place to spin! I had a big moment yesterday but luckily just floored it and straightened it up but then missed the next apex lol! Bloody novice :o
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Haha sorry yes it's because normally I just warm the tyres up by building the speed slowly and just working them that way but was only going to be out for 5-10 mins so needed to get some heat into them lol...
