Are you still collecting the car tomorrow Mark? :)

Haha ;) Normally whenever I take a day off I still have to make up for it by working at night :( Luckily I can manage on a few hours sleep! lol

The front windows are fitted by removing everything for the door i.e. motor etc and then drilling through the metal from of the door into the poly and then screw through! Rears are just bonded in :)

It certainly is Kenny :) Thanks, yes but you will get there and when you do you will be able to look back and be very proud of what you have built! Without any doubt this will be epic!

Sounds good guys! I bet you can't wait to get out and give the new engine a go :) Hope you have a good day and if you need a spanner boy/general bi*ch for the day then you have my number!

That is awesome Kenny, The lengths you go to are incredible and this is going to be a masterpiece when complete! It is always great to see the updates, Keep them coming :)

No worries Tony, See you Friday! Don't suppose you need a hand on the 12th if I can spare the day from work?

Haha decisions decisions ;) Yes will be a good day out, I'm already looking forward to it :)!

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

Haha I'm afraid I am a Ferrari guy (although not F1) they are great cars and it was nice to see the 458 challenge cars flying around at Donington the other day! Haha sounds like a plan Mark :)! Thank you for that I would really appreciate the advice! I will certainly try my best to make it...

Haha I don't think I would suit the international playboy image (You'll understand why when you see me ;) lol) Unfortunately there is work and I have got a meeting on the 15th that I have got to do a lot of prep for but I think I should still be able to make it work with Brands :D! No worries...

I had seen the one on the 14th but we are at Anglesey a couple of days before so it just depends if the car needs anything in between. My plan was to see how we do at Anglesey and then if the car can go straight back out then I was going to last minute book the 14th so that would be really good...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Thanks for the comments mate :) I wouldn't say it was scary but the main problem was I was there with a trackday mentality and they were all in racer mode which is where it got a bit dangerous really. Thats...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Haha I'm not allowed to run one anyway in CSCC :( lol

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Yes Mark I have to agree :) I just need a matching roof vent now ;) lol

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He The plan from the beginning of the project was to go down the Matt Grey and Orange colour scheme hence the rocker cover. Well today I took the plunge and dropped off my set of wheels for the wet tyres at CAS...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Yes Chip it certainly does and I always look forward to getting back on track in it :)

That would of been really good Mark but unfortunately I am not down until Friday morning :(! We will have to meet up soon! I am going to be at Brands in March, April and May so would be good if you are around for any of them if you fancy coming and then I can get a chance to look around the car...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Thanks everyone for the great comments :) I will try and get the video off my friends phone as the in car seems like it was only switched on when we had red flags although I will go through it this week and...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Thank you very much :) Its not too bad normally but you just have to have your wits about you and it was just a bit of shame as I spent so much time looking in the mirrors as the last thing I want is to have a...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Donington 17th Feb: On Friday we went down to Donington for the day to try and get some more miles on the car and do a bit more of a rigorous shakedown test. The first shakedown test at Snetterton was to...

Sounds good Mark, yes Matt mentioned you were thinking of getting some other parts done I think it will look great! I did but only from underneath lol, the car was up on the ramp so could only see part of the car but what I could see looked really nice and I really like all the things you have...

Yes Jay I think its the best way really and then you know you have an engine that you push but will also last a long time :) Yes it definitely will if its getting 213 on 95! Sounds interesting and I hope everything goes well and I will keep an eye out for updates!

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Great to meet you too Mark and thanks for coming along! Next time you should come out in the car if you fancy :) Thanks for the kind words much appreciated! Thanks yes its all going better than I could of...

Great result guys! Really nice engine spec and it should be super reliable with the modifications you have gone for :) Look forward to seeing the car at some point in the near future!

Mark I ended up going back to the workshop last night after Donington and all I can say is it looks incredible! The quality of the paint finish is incredible, I have never seen powder coated parts look so good! If you haven't already seen it I can imagine you will be over the moon with it...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Thanks Stu :) Yes it was quite a big one unfortunately, he came out of the esses and had a bit of a tank slapper then ended up hitting the wall on the entrance to the pits straight on which then span him round...
