Cub's Flamer - Supercharged, Cage etc

[NorthloopCup]

I'm excited about Anglesey because it will be first my TD since some significant improvements that I felt I was "used to" with the previous spec. It will be my first TD with;

- braking: the brembos and ducts
- suspension: ASTs vs Bilsteins
- engine; another 70bhp / 60lb ft from the charger.

I'm hoping it will challenge me to get used to it again, push myself harder in terms of my driving. :smile:

I see no mention of a roll centre kit in here?!

Ssshhh. I was hoping people might actually think I could drive, and it wasn't all down to brilliant parts!

I thought it was you, but turinis instead of f1's threw me man. You good? Was that your mrs?

No they were the f1s :L yeh I'm good thanks you ? And yes it was :L

 

[Cub.]

I'm sure I saw a BG with turinis today, Caversham park junction? Or was that you and I'm clearly blind when it comes to wheels!!

Looked good. Both the car and the other half

 

[182jwilliams]

NEVER AGAIN.

Ok probably KW Clubsports LOL

ASTs in terms of quality are brilliant. It's just the hassle of having to acquire them that pisses people off.

But, I've happily avoided all that

Best Clio out there in my opinion, from looks to the parts it just works well.

Hopefully I'll bump into you at a Trackday at some point, would love to see it.

Appreciate the comments Josh, I've got Anglesey, Oulton, and Blyton x2 booked. I'm hoping to do Snet and Bedford as well, so hopefully catch you at one of them

Not whining.

Back in your box, Frost.

Shame it's pink though.

Haha yeh that was me there :L hahaha thank

 

[Dan@SJM]

Good to hear about the map mate.

 

[Clio172Powell]

Nice Clio,i like it

 

[Cub.]

Good to hear about the map mate.

Indeed. If the engine had gone I'd have wheeled it to yours, and left it there until I could face seeing it again 😂

Nice Clio,i like it:smile:

Thanks, it's no detailed / unmarked show queen but it scrubs up ok.

Oli, apologies if I've missed it in your thread, did you lacquer your Brembos before fitting them? If so, what did you use in terms of product?

 

[Cub.]

Oli, apologies if I've missed it in your thread, did you lacquer your Brembos before fitting them? If so, what did you use in terms of product?

J-tech painted them and lacquered them in hi-temp paint my friend. When it goes in for the ASTs I'll ask them what they used, and let you know

 

[Martin.]

That's a result getting ASTs within 3 weeks! Took me like 4 months to get mine.

The blokes an utter flat out tnuc tbqfh. He has the business sense of a camels testicle, the morals of a prostitute and more neck than a f**king giraffe. It was only after threatening to blow his kneecaps through the back of his legs that he decided that the angry little bloke on the other end of the phone was serious.
NEVER AGAIN.

I take it you are talking about Curtis lol?

AST are an absolute shambles, never experienced such poor after service in my life. I had to complain to the factory in Holland? to get anywhere, even though it didn't help really.

 

[Cub.]

Just seen the list for Anglesey on the 2nd. Gulp. The flameshed is in more "esteemed" company it appears;

- Radical SR8
- Nissan GTR
- Ultima GTR
- Lotus Exige V6 Cup
- Lotus Exige S
- TVR Cerbera

And then an assortment of Civics, Caterhams and BMWs and a few others. Yay.

@BIGASH you heading down?

 

[JP83]

You'll have them in Da Twisties bruv @Cub.

I'm quite excited to see how fast the radical and Ultima are on track tbh.

I just hope mine stands up to at least some of the things there, don't want it to be a day spent off the racing line with indicator on.

 

[JP83]

Welcome to my world. 😂

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

LOL !

Glad I'm not booked on TBH.

 

[Typhoon]

Are you doing AM or PM track in this at CSS? Just so I can borrow it and do the slot you aren't.

Sorry dude, I won't be at CSS with the Sunflower.



trolololol

 

[Typhoon]

I've heard. Apparently you're taking your rapid Corsa-C?



trolololol

 

[Cub.]

I'm on the AM slot. You can borrow it if you leave a deposit of £20k (that's not what I've spent before people start flapping). It's the value of how emotional I'd be if Lee stuffed into a tyre wall.

 

[Cub.]

So, more photos and a quick 30mins at lunch of swapping bits. I can't stand the blue in the engine bay which I inherited when I charged it, so;

As it was

Lubing up. "Snigger"....

New;

Hose cut to size and on;

Points of note. My car is filthy. Having lived outside for 7 months it doesn't know what's hit it. Major detox planned.

Yes, the battery is still blue 😧

 

[Cub.]

Oh, and these came;

And I dropped off my spare williams wheels to be powdercoated black aswell as the others, and have the r888s fitted.

 

[JonC219]

When are you dropping it off to Jamie mate? Might pop over

I'll just bring two crates instead of one and entice you to change your mind that way.. Well I don't think you'll have a say in the matter after 30 ciders.

It's going into j-tech on the 29th for the day man I'll be dropping it off, working, then picking it up but I can let you know what time pick up will be.

 

[Martin.]

Really hope to see you out on track at some point, would love a passenger lap in this. Been watching far too many videos about boost recently!

What conditions your Bilsteins like? I'm looking for a 2nd hand set atm :blush:

The billies seem fine, but I need to check them when they're coming off as they've done 20k miles or so and may need a refurb.

I can add you to the list bud, as a few other people have PM'd me about them asking for first refusal.
