Looks awesome Danny and bet it goes like stink, quite different to when I saw it at Snett :)! Would love a passenger lap if you don't mind at some point if we come across each other at a Trackday again!

I didn't realise you were that way on Chip, I haven't driven there and was trying to do races this year where I know the circuit.
That will be great if you can mate :) I am hoping for a decent result there...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Thanks Chip thats a good idea :) Dates are below but the one's in Bold are the one's i'm doing. Would love to do them all but unfortunately not practical until I have a second driver. Everyone is always...

Thanks Mark, Yeah tell me about it! One of the reasons behind testing at Teeside is thanks to your write up about the starts :), I will have the track to myself so I can do practice starts in a safe...

Sorry Chip I meant June lol! I need to concentrate more :(
Thank you Tony really appreciate all of your help :) Anything I can ever do to help then you know where I am!
Thanks mate, Will be good to see you...
As Jay says I think for something like the driveshaft it's best to go with gen new ones. From memory £180 a side rings a bell and I guess that is either plus vat or trade price. We had a standard one go at Donington and replaced it for a new one then built up the old one as a spare :)

Mini Update:
Not much to say really other than just doing some small bits and bob’s for the first race. I haven’t even seen the car since the Track day at Brands so I hope it’s still sat in my garage :)...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Haha lol at 'more rattles than mother care' ;) The place sounds so awesome and I'm getting so excited to go :D I hope you don't mind taking me out for a passenger lap as I would love to see how it feels when...
Pictures look epic as always mate :) Think I saw you guys in the pit lane when I was wondering around but it was years since I met Naith at Britcar so couldn't be certain and didn't want to look like a tit lol!
I have tried to vote for you and did the 'human' test which I have answered...
I'd of bought it if I wasn't busy all week :( It will be gone by the time I would get a day free to go up and collect it! Link to it on here with anymore details? I couldn't spot it :)
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Yes definitely mate, unfortunately the backup car i'm thinking of is quicker :( lol! I'm certainly hoping it's in one piece! I was more worried about the reliability more than crash damage :eek: lol. Yes I'd...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Hi Mark :) Haha yes I do remember you saying that although I also remember saying I doubted I would ever drive it so we've both changed our minds lol! Sounds good to me and i'm sure you will enjoy as always...
Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner
Glad to hear you have got it back mate :) It was looking awesome when I was up at the workshop the other week! Sorry to hear you've had so many bit's breaking :( Great result with the power/ torque!
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Haha :) Sounds good mate! Hows the car doing have you got it back yet?
That's a shame mate :( I would highly recommend Bookatrack and from last time I spoke with the Owner they are running lots of days there...
Renault sell them in primer for roughly £85, used ones on here are normally really expensive. Buy the carbon ones and either rattle can them or send to Sprayshack who will paint them to match the car or any other colour for that matter! The service they offer is great and I would always...
Perfect it will probably be lunchtime or just after if thats okay, Thanks yes I have added it to my list of questions for Matt :) The poor guy with all my questions lol!
Will do mate :) I will have a chat with you about them when I see you! If you buy sliders I'll buy you one of those pocket fold up fans :rasp:
Ball's I totally forgot to let you know :( I'm planning to drop it of on the 28th April if thats good for you? If not then drop me a PM and I can...
Yes from what are have also heard the Ebay company ones are a pain to fit, so much so that when I spoke with them last year about it they didn't want to fit them so kind of shows a lack of confidence in the product lol! Yes well I will let you know as I am talking with someone about them at the...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
lol :)
Yes I'm the same I really wanted to do Spa especially but they won't do just Spa unfortunately, its either just the Ring or the Ring and Spa :( I hope you find a co pilot and let me know if you need...
If you are set on trying to save weight then I think the doors and boot are the areas to look at as they are damned heavy even when stripped out! A GRP door is 2900 grams and the boot lid is the same. Carbon will knock another couple of hundred grams off each but doesn't warrant the extra cost...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
I'm not too sure for the Ring as Chip is kindly organising that for me and I'm looking for potential hotels for Spa :) Are you thinking of just the ring or Spa also mate? Sorry I can't be of more use but i'm...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Thanks Lee, Yes I really can't explain how excited I am :) Very kind of you guys to have me tag along I really appreciate it! Haha yes I know I am 100% sure I will love the place but the thought of driving it...
