Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Haha! Yes you did it first :p lol! You inspired me to do it once I knew my bumper wouldn't fall apart ;)
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Yeah I have done for now mate :) I think it looks good although I'm slightly worried as to how much stuff could find it's way in and towards the belt's. I think I might get the fibreglass out and start making...
Good news Mark and glad you have got it all sorted :) Looking forward to Mallory will be good with all of us there! I'm hoping my car will be ready in time

Sorry I probably wasn't clear it is the top bearing in the coil over that failed not the top mount :)
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Yes Mark I totally agree its crazy! Most of these companies have great products or offer a good service but I guess I am a small fish to them and I can only try so many times until I go elsewhere. It's a shame...

Not much to update really, My garage has leaked water while we have had the heavy rain which has somehow got into the electrics so I have spent the last few nights and today re-wiring the whole garage! Waiting...
Wow that looks amazing what he has done to the car! As you say he certainly is the man for the job but the car isn't down there much anymore due to how far away it is from me. Its a job that i'm going to try and do without until at least the end of the year as just too much hassle mid season...
I'm okay with patience as long as I know what I'm doing which to do with the clio I don't lol! Yes from the dimensions I have got they need a much bigger level surface to sit on, can't just cut down the raised part as that would then lower the stroke :( The only way to do it is the same as Kenny...
Ahh sorry yes of course you do, I remember seeing them in the picture now you've mentioned it lol! I am currently trying to work out a solution to run the Nitron top mounts which give really nice adjustment of castor and camber but the strut top is really odd on the clio's and unfortunately I...
Yeah Nick I don't actually understand the difference yet lol :)! I was just told that if I can improve the roll centres then it would a good hurdle to hop! Ideally dont want to do it now but was just trying to plan ahead incase they were different fittings etc :)
Sounds good mate :)
Thank you...
Epic project :) Can't wait to see this progress! Can I ask where you got the front hub's etc from? Is it readily available or all tricky to get? Do you know if the racer hubs have the same bolt spacing as the non cup packed cars?
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Yes Chip I certainly will do, I meant to ask him the other day but we both ended up running out of time! I am speaking to him early next week so will discuss it with him :) I'm sure he would be up for it but I...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Yes I totally agree with you his knowledge is incredible! I also really like the way he works and he was suggesting various things to save money rather than spend it which is always nice :)
Yes I was lucky...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Thanks for that Chip, it makes for a really good read and brings up a lot of what Simon and I discussed :)
I went to meet Simon on Tuesday and I'm very grateful for you recommending him! I can see what you...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
I'm not even sure about that to be fair Chip! I don't remember reading anything that says you can't although as you say the name would imply not :)
Perfect Andy would be good to see you there :)
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
No worries Neil, It will be early next week when I find out the plan from Nitron :)
My catches turned up this morning and i'm doing it tonight once I go to B&Q to get some cutters!
I will let you know how I get on :)
I am doing it to make it easier to remove the bumper and also to give the bumper more support lower down
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Not sure at the moment in a few minds as to what to do with them! Firstly need to make sure I am changing them for something else, then the options are to sell or keep as a spare set and get valved and sprung...
Sorry what?! :p lol I mis-read that at first
Haha that sounds more like I imagined it from looking at it the other night lol! I will await my cir-clip pliers not fitting and go from there ;)
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
They certainly seem to do great work! It's about the only place that is local to me so i'm going to make the most of it lol!
Thanks for that offer Chip very kind :) I will mention it to him!
I think it...
