Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Haha legend I can't wait to see it in orange! Don't leave it at TDF too long Mark or I might end up stealing your rear beam ;)
Mine might still be there Colin just depends if it needs any tweaking after...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Haha lol! ;) What colour are you doing yours Mark? Im guessing not orange :)?
Lol it seems to spend most of its time without a front bumper I think they are finishing off a few bits of wiring and the lack of...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Haha I certainly will be doing and this thread will always be updated when even the most minor mod is made :) Ahh perfect well I will look forward to seeing it and i'm sure that once I see your painted rear...

Thanks alot Mark :) Driving is the main plan for now but got some good ideas for future developments! I can't wait :) I will hopefully see yours on the 16/17th on my way to Donny if its still at TDF then!

Sorry for the delayed response not been on the forum for a while as been out of the UK
Hi Mårten I will make sure I get plenty of pictures of the car next time i'm with it :) The gearbox hasn't got a cooler...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Sorry mate :( I will put some more up next week when I get back to the UK!
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
I will have to see nearer the time I think unfortunately mate, as still got loads of work around then and its just the issue of having to trek home and get everything so will be two missed days :( If I can...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
I'd say go for it Tony, I would't mind ;) But it will be back at my house by then which is half the reason I can't make it as working away from home that week so would be massive effort to go all the way home...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Hi Porkie,
Thank you very much for the invite, I would love to come and it would be great to meet up! At the moment it will have to be a no unfortunately though as my diary is fairly hectic that week already...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Yes it certainly looks the part :) I know what you mean about the dyno floor it looks soft in the pictures but is surprisingly hard! Still I suppose its softer than concrete lol :)
Duplex penthouse with...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
It certainly is mate :) It's staying with Matt until the 17th and then I will take it home after the trackday subject to everything going to plan! Sounds good! The workshop looks great after the refit and must...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Yes exactly, from what he said on Saturday he has seen it happen before and instantly had many suggestions on how to resolve it! Matt has so much knowledge and experience of these cars I know it will be sorted...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Yes I have seen this in the past Chip on cars but I think with very long runs with that solution it could potentially still be an issue! If it was just a normal track car doing 20 mins at a time then it...
You would need 195/50 15 and I paid £106 per tyre for my R888's this was from my local tyre guy a few months ago and places like camskill are normally pretty well priced for these.
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Thanks mate, I have no issues with using used parts so could be an option :)
Yes I see what your saying Kenny and will have a good look into it and work out with Matt what to do. The kit that was mentioned on...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Thanks for the drift works recommendation I have just had a look and seems like a decent kit :)
I didn't realise that it didn't have any cooler as standard which as you say probably explains the issue, Yes I...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
I don't think so for now Kenny, I think we will see if it can work successfully without so we will increase the tank size and I will ask Matt about some more heat shielding then give it some stick at Donington...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Hopefully not, it certainly seemed fine even at the end of the day so I will keep my fingers crossed :)
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Thanks again everyone for the comments :D
I thought this myself and wondered about just scrapping it but I doubt it's very practical and also especially if we end up doing endurance in the future as I...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Ah okay, I see yes that would would be a handy bonus! Thanks for letting me know and I'll have a chat with Matt and work out what to do :)
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Can't say I even realised this would be an option. I'm really not very technically minded but I presumed that powersteering fluid should never get all that hot so by water-cooling it your already going to be...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Thank you Porkie I was over the moon :) I'm not too sure but I have seen a few cars run similar figures on stock injectors.
I saw the pictures of your engine parts yesterday Porkie looks like its going to be...
Sounds like a good idea as I can't imagine they are cheap to fill! It will be a beast down the straights on track if you use it lol :)
I said my car would be finished by now but there is an ever increasing list of parts that I had forgotten about :( Its never ending! lol
Yes I think they will do very well and I look forward to seeing the results!
Different is always good and the nos setup will look and go great I'm sure :)
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Yes for now that is the plan and see if it fixes it, if not then a small cooler but their will be extra weight with this option so would rather avoid it! I will update with any findings :)
