Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Hi Kenny, Yes I think it was. The tank was taken out so presume it would need draining, It didn't seem to be frothy just the fluid was leaking from the cap and seemed like it had boiled over but thanks for the...

Yes Mark they are around that price and seem a popular route to go down.
It would of been good to meet you and see the car but I'm sure we will cross paths at some point at TDF, Haha lol ;)
Yes it certainly...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
That is cheaper than I thought it would be! Sounds like a worthwhile upgrade and take the strain off standards
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
That would be great Tony well I'll drop you a PM nearer the time to confirm we are still going!
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Yes they have worked out really well Mark and I'm really happy with the power it's made, the Polo rad is a really good option from the pictures I have seen of them fitted it does look to create a good amount of...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
I thought that myself about Mark's torque! Thanks, lol I can't say I was expecting it to be an issue but I'm sure we'll get it sorted :)
Yes Matt and I discussed putting a set of Megane injectors on in the...

Hi Mark, Thank you yes over the moon with how it went :) Yes we did its removed and lower rad fitted to allow for the long throttles!
Sounds good to me and I can vouch for the fact that with 215 it fly's and...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Haha I told you I knew that I had forgotten something in my email :P
I'm afraid I'm not too sure about the technicalities but heat shielding isn't too bad an idea :) I'm sure you'll be fine Jonny just keep an...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
We were trying to get a long run in at the end of the day to check reliability and see how it was running so we did 25 mins and then in for a couple of mins to swap passengers so Matt could jump in and then...

Thank you Dom yours looked great aswell and seemed to be running well :) Yes it will all come with time and when we start work on the setup. They are the Oreca door cards but i'm not 100% where Matt got them...

I used to have to really feather the power in when exiting rocket in my 197 so it will be interesting to see how this compares then. I'm really looking forward to trying the car round circuits that I know and...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
I can imagine :D I don't know why but I wasn't expecting it to make anywhere near as much difference as it has done to the way you can put the power down. It will make even more difference once i'm used to it...
I used to have one from Machine Mart but it wasn't great, then bought a Halfords pro one and its perfect I use it every week and think it cost around £50
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
I forgot to mention in the update yesterday, The quaife diff is great! you have to adopt a different driving mentality but boy does it put the power down early and very well :)
Thank you Kenny I am over the...

Thanks Neil :) It will be great to see yours when it's back together and running!

Thanks for all the great comments everyone, very kind of you all and they mean a lot to both me and also TDF i'm sure :)
Haha I only used those because they were in my loft from my old 197 and I didn't want to...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
First major update!
Well on Friday afternoon I ventured down to the TDF workshop to be greeted by Matt, Alan and the car. This was the first time I have seen it since a few weeks before Christmas so was...

Hi Jonny :) Sorry I got totally carried away when I saw the car and forgot to get any pics of the exhaust although I do have a vid from today which shows the sound nicely :)
Sounds good mate what you having...
Great pictures thanks for putting the ones of mine up mate :) They are all really good photos! I have had a look through the pictures that my friend took using my camera but they are all pants I'm afraid!
Do you mind if I use a couple of the ones of my car for my thread? :)
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Haha thanks Stu I have been there nearly all day today and only left at 9pm! It sounds so good I am over the moon with the whole thing :D when I took it for a drive the noise and power were something else...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Didn't realise you had a BTB Jonny :) Yes they have done such a neat job of it and have been creative and changed the layout of the system to optimise it :) I will grab a photo tomorrow! Yes we have kept the...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Its was a custom job by BTB, basically we asked them to make their 182 system but just with one back box to reduce weight and they have done such a nice job the welding is divine :)
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
