Well done James, I didn't post good luck as I didn't want to put the mockers on you lol, then when they said you'd thrown an aux belt in practice I couldn't beleive it, and again well done looking foreward to the videos.

James we all know you'll be at oulton come 6th oct with your RACE car on the grid. Lol

Still a few little things to sort out for the next race and do some pit stop practice lol

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He

Haha the list of current jobs is below:

  • Re-wrap side strip
  • Touch up wheel
  • Remount, both bumpers
  • Clean inside, outside and wheel arches
  • Investigate front brake calipers
  • Refurb rear calipers or replace (Still pulling to the left a bit)
  • Play with cup distribution valve (Going to put it on an MOT brake tester and adjust the valve)
  • New exhaust (BTM baby ;))
  • Blank rear holes in boot floor
  • Air vents in rear windows
  • Increase cooling capacity
  • Check engine after engine temp
  • Heat shield gear lever
  • Cut front bumper and cross member for more airflow
  • Trim wheel arches at front for tyre clearence
  • Add Castor
  • Flare rear arches
It's not the above list thats the issue really as I can sort all that in time its just the money in doing so but I will certainly be trying my hardest as always :)

Pit stop practice wouldn't be a bad idea lol would help if I didn't stand about lol

Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He

hahaha at the vid! - too much looking behind you there mate, not enough looking forward

I did the same thing loads when I was last at Donington - that bloody first corner, I spent more time in the sand than I did hitting an apex :(

Regarding increasing the cooling mate - a lad on here has just found a £160 ish golf alloy rad on ebay - it's the same height as the polo one but longer and apparently offers 30% better cooling being all alloy

I'm gonna order one for mine in a few weeks as the Polo rad really does struggle :(

Lol yes probably but the Proton was better on the brakes and thought he was going to come back round the outside so didn't want to run deep and take him out lol!

Yes I saw Mark (Iceman) had put that link up but I don't know how much bigger I need to go as it was running mega hot!

That is very true! Need to work out if its the sensor, If I boil a kettle and then put the end of the sensor into the water would that work? lol!
