Yeah tis very true!
Fred and I laughed at mine when it came back from geo as it was -2.49 degree's camber one side and -2.51 degree's camber the other side. Along with the toe been bang on too! He said he's never seen such a straight rear beam we thought the machine was lying :)

Hi mate, you can get two types of shims that I know of. One is the plastic type with the hole in the middle from tweek's, k-tec etc. The other are the metal one's like I use from Pure motorsport they are nearly double the price at £30 for a pair of 1 degree but apparently the plastic ones can...

Thanks Russ :) It's going be a hectic week for the car from Tuesday so got a few busy days now to get it all ready! Don't worry about it and i'm sure i'll see you soon!
Yes Colin quite a few more from what I...
Depends if I get on track on the Wednesday mate! I guess I will be testing though and the AM session is cheaper so would probably do that. I will be there anyway to setup and get sorted :)
Good stuff Tony :) It reminded me I need to get mine checked after the hit on both drivers side wheels :(
You going to Oulton on Friday? I think I'm getting there first thing on Friday morning! Cant wait
I would recommend to change them after lots of advice I have had recently! Although I was advised a year ago not to by one company. I would presume they are the same company :)
Great to see you've finally got a project thread Andrew :) Look forward to seeing the progress and I didn't realise you had gone to town on it so much! Please let me know how you get on with the PMS kit I chatted to Nick about it the other month and sounds very good!
He sold it the other month...
Didn't realise you had a thread for the car mate :) Cars looking great round Llandow! You are correct about the standard suspension, also it's much comfier than coilovers! Took mine down the road tonight to check everything over and it is so hard I don't know how people put up with coilovers on...
No not all the time, Mine didn't have the spacer's for a while and I didn't know until I took the disc's off the first time! There was no play until it shagged the bearings, it had ground the bottom of the stub axle on mine though where the disc had been rubbing on it
Thanks for that Mark :) My oil temp used to be on the cooler too but has never worked so just trying to get it all working for the next race
Ahh good stuff I was going to use a T piece for the pressure so I will order one of those now!
Good idea by Troy as then you have two different readings...
Yes mate that was why I asked in the first place as I guess they had been run without hence all the damage in the first pic! Just grab a couple from Renault and pop them on so that it doesn't damage your new set :)

No worries Russ :) I didn't realise Jonny had the same tb as you! I remember you modded yours

I will let you know next week if thats ok Colin! I'm going to be in Maccelsfield in the morning to get my new exhaust fitted :) Then depending on what time i'm done I am planning to go to Oulton and try and...

I'm not to sure to be fair i've had it since 2008 and think its called a chase cam PDR-100! Does the job for me well :)
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Ahh okay! I don't know why but I thought you'd swapped to ITB's earlier in the year. Bet that's exciting on track lol! I remember last time at Llandow when my throttle stuck open it was a touch scary lol
Just watched the Clio cup coverage from the weekend and they mentioned this car on the commentary lol! Look forward to seeing what it can make and well done on the results at the weekend Josh :)
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
The coolant was overheating in the race when moving but hopefully that is all sorted as made a couple of minor mod's to get more airflow to the rad! Unfortunately the oil temp gauge has only worked once and...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Haha ;) Unfortunlty it's been cancelled as the circuit is flooded :( Back to bed for me now lol
Haha cheeky git :slap: lol

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
It's always had one Mike until the donny race but it was leaking from the rad part and was in a vulnerable place :( I do have it on my list for Oulton but the list is adding up lol! Fingers crossed tomorrow...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Had a few productive days over the weekend working on the car and now it's all set for testing in a few hours :) Will update with pics of what I have been upto on Tuesday!
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Thanks for that Scott I might get some of those then and can keep an eye on everything :)
No worries mate :) Gray said it was from Merlin motorsport and I found it on there site for £64 so not too expensive :)
