Haha sounds good Mark and yes I did look at Kenny's approach to it but was a little worried about clearances with the engine/box etc.
You know if you need any new product destruction tested I...

Yes it was the additional unsprung weight that concerned me although I suppose I already have the PMS strengthening kit and that didn't bother me lol!
I think I shouldn't probably fiddle with it lol
Haha nice list Mark ;) Doesn't look too dissimilar in length to my to-do list lol!
The top mounts sound very interesting it will be interesting to see what you come up with!

Yes I had already discounted mod'ing the arms as an easy solution as the only thing I could think was to weld a plate top and bottom of the arm although this has a lot of drawbacks and is probably just a bodge...

Thanks Mark very kind offer :) But yes I dont think i'd fit lol! See what you think to the difference if you do end up swapping to the PMS kit!
Haha they certainly are a very nice bit of kit but make me start...

Sorry Jonny I only saw the 'Fare point Tony' bit. I didn't realise they did any other types so thanks for that I will look into it and see if they would be simple to run :) The plan is to totally change the...

I have been told that there is a clio race car in France that's running nearly 8 degree's castor without any mod's to the arches but I also had the same worries as you Nick. I think with the different lower...

I'm not sure how necessary the brace is really but I was advised by TDF to fit it so I guess there must be some advantage to it :) I don't want to offend those with the AST top mounts but they appear to be...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
I didn't specify spring rates as i'd of just been guessing lol, I asked them to spec them to what they think are required and i'll go from there. If it's miles off then I will get Simon to work his magic, if...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Haha lol very true ;)
Yes definitely! Sounds daft but I can't wait just to get back in the car! Shame I can't use Teeside over the summer holidays :(
Haha apart from the fact i'm useless at loading them up I'm also useless at taking pictures so no one has anything to worry about ;) lol
Thanks Colin, that would be great thanks I will let you know :)

Haha no mate it's okay I know it needs to be a lot quicker :)! Yes I think it does but that won't be seen until next year I doubt as a lot of time will come from the changes over winter! Thanks mate :D
Yes...
Thanks guys for having me the other day was great to see you and John again and really good to meet Russ :)
I still haven't had chance to go through the photo's as i'm useless but I have got sometime tomorrow evening so will do my best to sort them then!
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Perfect mate well i'm certainly hoping to get the car out for it but can't be certain about anything :)
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Update time:
Finally time for an update! I’ve had a really busy few weeks behind the scenes with the car but feel like I’m finally getting somewhere.
Following on from the disappointment of Anglesey it...

The race is on the 15th September but not 100% I will be doing that and the test will hopefully be before the end of August :) Would be great if you can make it mate!
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Yes of course Chip :)
Yes that isn't a bad idea at all!
Okay thanks for that mate, I will look into the costs involved and go from there and see how Mark gets on :)
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Yes I think thats best mate :) Matt will know exactly what he will achieve as he has done quite a few ITB kits now with the 421's I think :)
Yes they are and it shows as 15-20 mins in the dry and they are...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Ahh well it certainly looked like a pick of the bunch car :)
Yes I think it is really and it's plenty fast enough! I just wouldn't do it if I were you Mark, I am looking into refitting it over winter but it's...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Wow nice low milage PH1 :) It did look very tidy when I saw it so that would explain it! Ahh very good will be the same spec as mine then! Your not planning to run without the VVT are you? I did do and to be...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Hi Mark yes long time no speak! Thanks hopefully another update in the next day or so :) Very nice what are you doing for more power? Cam's or Engine build? Haha very good mate I bet you can't wait :)
I always worry when I'm revving the nuts of mine to nearly 8k but thankfully it has been fine so far and so was my 197 before and that took plenty of track abuse :)
