Lol! I normally get put through to the head man in their parts dept tbh. Only problem I've ever encountered with them was when I was trying to get the grp n timing tool off them (guy who sold me the ecu was sending it when he'd found it - 'it's in my garage somewhere' - pah! Never showed up!!)...

I have the fastest and most viscous springer spaniel in the world guarding that car, so you'll be lucky!! Lol! Tony mentioned to me about wanting to run a roof vent on their car, but when he asked he got told no. He also said some guy was in cscc in a rover with a roof vent and got entered in...

As James has said, mine is a genuine Renault part. It wasn't £400 quid though mate!!! I got it direct through r-sport and it was almost half the price of that!! I've got pictures of how I installed it I'll post up as it means I can remove it without being left with a gaping hole in the roof skin.

Ah yeah I can see the typo now! It should have said, I had the holes cut in the windows when they were made. They're polycarbs all round and were made by plastics4performance. They use a cnc machine to do the holes so they're accurate. Whilst they weren't cheap for the options I chose, they are...

Thank you Fred! I appreciate that! :-)

You have to re-drill the megane block to accept the 182 box mounting holes. Iirc you need to swap the sump over as well.

438 inlet cam and standard exhaust cam would work well too.

Yes, but also when it's worn the bite point on the pedal will be higher as well.

I'll be there on wednesday as well! I'll see you if your there relatively early. I'll be in my Clio as well - minus the new suspension mods though. ;)

Is that meant for me Tony? If so, thanks! Lol!

Is this much of a pita to do Tony?

I had to holes cut into the windows when they were made mate. Tbh, they don't do a great deal anyway! Them pictures are how it looked last year. I have a roof vent fitted now to get cool air into the car. I'll get some up to date pictures this week if your interested? Btw, the roll centre...

Here are the pictures you requested mate: 304144_2403005880259_1404475619_32927701_987099520_n by NorthloopCup, on Flickr 289039_10150803659595107_748806229_o by NorthloopCup, on Flickr 297616_2403006280269_1400939916_n by NorthloopCup, on Flickr Enjoy! :-)

Fuel Cell 003 by NorthloopCup, on Flickr This is the fuel tank i designed and lars fabricated for me in one of my previous projects! Astra Gsi fuel system by NorthloopCup, on Flickr The atl collector does a excellent job and has the trap doors your describing of fitting in yours.

Lol! Ok will do! I've done lots of thinking outside the box mate, just don't do much shouting about it. Wait till I reveal my new engine........lol!

Pip pins are difficult to explain mate! They have a button on the end that when pressed, allows a ball to go into the body of the pin so it can be withdrawn. Demon Tweeks sell them mate. Yes mate I have a few pictures of it I can post up if you like. No project thread on it though. I've got...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He I will do with great pleasure mate!! Lol!

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Lol! This is assuming they don't post any more of your parts to me yeah?!

Pip pins for the boot lid hinges and aerocatches would be a possible solution if they aren't mate. I've removed the strengthening ribs from my bonnet to save a bit of weight and used 4 aerocatches to hold it on. It flaps about a bit, but it was still going strong after 135! Lol!

Could you not mount a small alloy fuel tank inside the original tank? That way it looks totally standard from the outside, but gives you the ability to run a minimal amount of fuel. Assuming of course the car will be used for sprints and not tintops stuff mate.

Those fibreglass panels look to be excellent quality from the pictures!

10 minutes toe out works well. If you readjust the camber you will need to re do the alignment and you will see a rediculous amount of toe in. Toe out is twitchy but gives nice turn in. It's all about what your used to though and that's where it comes down to personal preference. Also how are...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Pretty much mate yes. It's all about keeping things simple like they did on the cup racers really. Hubs have not been modified. I don't have any pictures mate and tbh until I know it works and is safe (going...

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He Yes something along those lines. They've been manufactured and trialled on my own car. I will be changing the design to engineer more strength into them just for my own peace of mind.

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He If only I could adhere to this thought!

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He You'd be better off raising the pick up points on the subframe like what kenny has done with his to adjust the roll centre. The only other options is to use a similar setup to the cup racers. I'm just in the...

If you pull the hub out at the top you will lessen the camber, but you'll need the tracking setting up again. Did they not even advise you about the difference in camber per side?! Most normal garages won't adjust anything camber wise as these places generally employ idiots. Standard camber is...

Could possibly be the bottom ball joints at the wishbone. I run revalved v2's and even when they were new I found the rear clunks/knocks. Can you take a picture of how the fronts are built up? Would be easier to see if they're fitted right as well.

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He If you could fit in the driving seat of my cup you could experience a lot of castor mate, but somehow I think you may struggle!! Lol! I'm running Ast top mounts set to full castor and the front edge of the...

Re: 172 Cup track toy! I have one of those laminova oil coolers. Absolutely excellent bit of kit!
