car now has no cooling system, no wiring loom, no braking system, soon to launch the exhaust at the bin outside also, and 12days to finish it! I might just pull the engine and box as i keep getting annoyed at stuff!

Think that's a bit too much weight saving TBH. Unless your name is Bugatti.

I've been wanting to post that for quite a while LOL. "Doesn't get much better than this" from what I've seen so far it gets a LOT better than that.
DO IT!! This is going to be epic!

I met James for the first time at 3 Sisters when he came to spectate and he's a top bloke, I hope this gets sorted for him as in my mind he deserved a lot better than he's got from speaking to him, but he's kept his cool and composure and that's a big credit to him tbh, it sounds like Fred could turn it all round.
Regards Russ...........

James, I'm not sure where you have got that info from. I have just been asked a similar question on the Rallye Register. This was my response, hope it helps and offers clarity:
PS if you end up fitting a bias valve it has to be out of reach of the driver for bluebook

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
well that's inconsistent, because I asked the Tintops organiser/scrutineer if the rears could be disconnected as a temporary fix for James, and he said yes
Remember also that a clio has less than 25% to the rear as standard. I expect the handbrake is taken into account.

James I doubt I'll get to Donny on the Saturday (I shall ask and see). I'm glad to see Fred making fast progress as others have said however the weight saving does seem a bit extreme but I guess if the holes in the floor are for james's legs thats the braking and accelerating covered and lets face it with a beard and a leopard skin throw on James he would resemble a slightly more shaved Fred Flintstone.

I can second that stood right next to him when we asked.
How can they tell anyway?
They don't test brakes are that the handbrake works!

Fun day of holiday today! Got a call to say that my AST's have arrived back although that was from my neighbour who had signed for them rather than Fred which is where they were supposed to be sent with very clear instructions! My neighbour and I don't really get on and he has said before that he doesn't like signing for stuff so his call was come and collect them now so 100 miles later I have been home collected them, organised and paid for a courier to collect them tomorrow and take them to Fred. The misses is livid with me as it's been one of our 5 days of holiday in the car faffing around when it was supposed to be a clio free week lol! I am now in the bad books so am grovelling on cooking duty for the evening!
Massive thanks to Fred though who has been hard at the car and don't think he is joking about everything that he has removed lol I've been having fun trying to locate parts while in the yorkshire dales with no internet connection to speak of! The pub offers Wifi though so is rude not to go for a quick drink and pretend I'm googling for places to visit I look forward to seeing how different the car is when I return and can't wait for Donington
Hope the sprinting is going well and see you soon!

It's because the clio ideally wants to run circa 90% to the front wheels Mike so it has to be out of reach
Thats a shame Andy! Haha lol PMSL! I'm not sure I have the fitness or stamina to run for 40 minutes it's bad enough in the car for that long

Feeling your pain mate. I was not allowed in the garage for a week after my first race.
I'm relatively lucky with the neighbours though they are normally intrigued to see what I've had delivered. Although they do think my 86dB exhaust is a bit loud!

I'm surprised they didn't send them to me like the last time!! Lol! It would've been significantly easier for me to get them to Fred though!

Haha what are they like! Its just when we are away that I'm not allowed to even mention the clio. I'm still on cooking duty!
I wish I hadn't given the neighbour my number while I'm away and then I wouldn't of heard from him lol! 86db you want to try best part of 100 while testing the launch control... I think I can see why he doesn't like me now lol!
Haha I gave them specific instructions because of what happened last time I guess that didn't work lol! Very true but all sorted now hopefully

Back off Holiday
Sounds like UPS couldn't find BTM with my suspension and now aren't sure where the box is! Lets hope they turn up time for the race and can then have another go at finding BTM!

Haha I wouldn't put it past him but UPS have said they still have it (somewhere)
I was already begrudging having to pay for the courier as it was and decided not to pay the £26 extra they wanted to insure it so my own fault lol!
I suppose it is insured for the full cost of works.......mmm lol
Also PM'd
Only kidding
If the suspension doesn't arrive Monday then I will drive down and locate it and hand deliver should of just done that in the first place!
