I'm just going to book it and hope for the best, weather won't be too much of an issue for me luckily as I think I will just be doing one lap at a time to get it setup and make sure everything runs as it should! Can't wait, will be good to meet everyone :) I may have to retract my offer of...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Haha thanks Stu, I was on the phone with Matt earlier and he said it was sounding sweet but I'm saving that pleasure until friday :)! Last time I saw the exhaust it threw a huge flame out of it nearly blew the...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Sorry mate I missed this sentence, Yes you should do definitely, I will do and thanks :D I think its only a buffet :( lol

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Haha Silverstone events are even worse mid summer they are nearly £500 quid and then £60 for a garage and £60 per additional driver :S They include lunch aswell as breakfast so practically a bargain :P

The forecast was looking good but then changed yesterday :( I will still be going unless it is awful rain! I only have the R888's with me aswell so I have no choice with tyres, Will still be okay I think :)

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He It should be good although dreading turning into the first corner each time and hoping the cold tyres stick ;) The classes are divided up with cc intervals and you are not allowed to add turbo's etc. There are...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Due to the mods on my car I have to run in modified production so any tyres are allowed I will probably be running a very soft full slick :)

Nice one thanks for that, the first set is just bare wheels anyway but I will just get my local tyre guy to whizz them off then :) Thanks again

Good to see that you don't mind getting rid of the slam panel etc as in the scheme of things its a fairly cheap way to get a few more horses/ torque. ARP bolts would also be a good idea. I personally would save the money and just run a solid alloy or carbon back plate but I think its just...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Thank you mate :) I can't wait myself but I have got to be realistic for the first year of competing and not to expect too much, its mainly going to be a year of getting the car setup well and me developing...

Haha I think seeing and hearing the ITB's will sell them to you and I think if you were to fit similar long ITB's you'd get very similar output as me because the 438's and 421's are so similar :)

Hi and welcome :) Yes quite a few of us are going, see thread below! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?618957-January-Meet-Saturday-21st-January-Snetterton-Circuit

Thanks for getting back to me mate :) That sounds really good then I will give them a set and see how they come out! Do they offer tyre removal or refit for an extra charge? Thanks again

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He I'm afraid I don't but if Matt doesn't see this before the weekend then I will try and grab some for you when I see the car and then post up :) Its mainly the track days that are taking up the time I'm...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He No worries yes did think it may be too far, luckily I've been working in Nottingham recently so I haven't been too far away from TDF, I din't add it to the list because I'm not 100% sure I can make it but I...

Haha I had just written a reply to your post from the other day and then you had put the new one which made my post look rather random so deleted that quickly lol! Sounds like a plan to me Dom and if you want to get a feel for the ITB's your more than welcome to do some straight line testing...

Hopefully it won't be too bad and at least the temps are looking like it shouldn't be an ice rink when we arrive :)

Think you would then have an issue with UCH's Lewis give Matt a call and see what he says :)

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Hi Colin, at the moment we are aiming for this Saturday as the shakedown test for the car at Snetterton and then if this goes well then I am trying to plan a few track days and competition around what I...

Looks like a really good project, I hope it goes well and look forward to seeing the updates :)

Wheel specialist is Garforth is where we send most of our stuff and Brian does a very good job, push for discount as they always are flexible on price. I would aim to pay around £200 with them on 182 wheels. MSS wheel doctor in Morley are supposed to be good aswell and they offer wet and powered...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Haha secretly did it so my missus can't drive it ;) No but seriously its surprising when you sit in it, its mainly the steering wheel that was the issue and we have now sorted that out with a Q/R which pushes...

You certainly don't hang around Lewis :) Work out your buying it yesterday and get a skip to the door the next morning to clear a space for it! Impressive and determined lol! Looking forward to seeing progress with it and will keep my eye out for the new project thread :)

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Yes the cable throttle is supplied with the ITB kit Jonny and its a really nice touch as some of the other ITB kits I've seen use a standard rubber pedal which looks odd against the others! I'm not 100% sure...

Wow thats a surprise Lewis but I can totally understand where your coming from if its going to save you money in the long term :)! Also his PH1 is a great looking car and i'm sure once complete it will be even better. Is it not feasible to return the cup to standard and sell on? The thing I...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He It certainly is, I bet its great to drive :) That they do, I know it should be mapped early part of the week and then ready for the weekend so it will be good to see what it makes! Although I would still be...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Haha well if its there on Friday/ Saturday depending on which day I'm going then I will have a look but I think this challenge sounds like I will probably fail ;) I originally struggled with mine but have...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He It's been moved forward by about 40-50mm now Tony and I think if you tried it I'm sure you would manage although I appreciate for some drivers it may be quite a compromise. We will have to try it sometime! :)...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Hi Stu, Thank you very much :) Did you try sitting in it? Everyone that I have seen sit in it has managed to reach the pedals the steering wheel was initially the problem for one person but that has been...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Thanks everyone for the very kind comments, Matt really has done an awesome job and I can't wait to se it next weekend :) Porkie, Interesting with how frequently you have to change the pads on the Wilwoods I...
