Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Sorry for the long delay with the write up :( Been really busy and also busy with work on the car! Only just finished and now got time for 2 hours sleep lol! Lost total track of time... whoops
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
I didn't have Ohlins on my list so will add them to it however I am keen to go with the Nitron's so will hold off speaking to anyone else until I next speak with them! Very impressed so far :)
I will add Leda...

Yes it certainly could be :) Just got to make sure it's the correct direction to go! The work they do is pretty epic and i'm sure they can produce a really good kit
I just thought by it being longer then it would cause more of a pivot point on the change ( I am clueless though lol ;)) I will get photo's tonight and post up, also had video's but then my phone decided not to save them!
Thanks :)
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Yes I am dealing with Mark at Nitron at the moment, Could be quite interesting but we will have to see what happens! Will update in two weeks when we have more news on them :)

Can anyone shed any light on my other thread about the linkage? Really want to try and get that all tied up while the car is in the garage for 6 weeks :)...
Yanoo my gear linkage end seems to be made of metal but it insn't a snug fit!
Inspected and taken apart today :)! Most of the play seems to be coming from the selector arm which can still push up even when in gear, this is exaggerated by the relocated position of my gearstick. Does anyone know...

Looks good mate :) I will watch the first bit later on! I could see in the distance where me and the proton were tussling :)
No mine run's a totally standard rear beam Tony :(
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Thank you :) Haha yes all thanks to Stu!
Yes just one of many issues along the way but i'm sure i'll get it sorted! Thanks
p.s Were you racing the blue 106? :)
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Haha lol! Sounds fun ;)
Nope just V2's and the spring rates are really soft! Must of been bottoming out hence shagged! AST's or Nitron's Fred?
Yes would be a good option but was trying to sort it out a bit...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Hi Lee :) Yes I can imagine your car does ;) I don't suppose you know what your spring rates are do you?
The one's Ian run are a very good option although Reiger don't specialise in circuit suspension and...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Yes that is true they are the safe option which is why I have slight reservations about going with a new make to the Clio market but we will see!
Haha yes but you are right, Should of done it from the start...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Haha lol! We will see from what Matt said on Friday KW are just going to replace them but we will see what happens :)
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Yes the bearing in the top of the strut has failed and also the valving adjustment has failed :( Haha no worries mate :)
Yeah I fully agree Mark :( They are great for the road/ occasional track but...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Always have been Andy, I didn't realise that! They will sort them this time it sounds like but not sure about in future. I will get the new set and sell while they are good :)
YEs I think this would be the...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Sorry mate yes it was I was trying to add a quote but then got confused lol!
Ohh dear that a shame mate :( hope it gets sorted :)
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Yeah definitely mate! Not sure what suspension to go with now as don't really want to be changing it but it is probably worth doing that and a couple of other small changes to the car to get it working a bit...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Yeah I couldn't really believe it to be fair :( I think it's a good suspicion kit for road and track days just not far a race car, I have been pounding the car recently and it obviously hasn't enjoyed it lol...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
I don't know really mate :( I made quite a few mistakes but was pushing the car as hard as I could to try and get some decent pace! Let myself down in a few places but good learning experience :) Didn't really...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Haha I know Phil :( It's also done both side's on the H+R's I ran in the race, I could feel them starting to go in Quali but the play was very slight so we still raced half way through the race though they...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Thanks for all the comments! Had a great weekend out of the car, tough time with and in the car but learnt a lot not just about the car but about racing in general so overall pretty happy! Looking forward to...
Well done guy's :) Really happy for you both as always! Thanks also for the company over the weekend which kept a smile on my face plus keeping my tummy happy with food :) Can't wait for Mallory and I'm sure you will get a good result there too!
