JMS 182 Racecar.

[Tom@JMS]

Did you do anything to it over Christmas Tom?

Not on the car mate, too much snow and other work to take care of.

Looking good Tom. Be interesting to see how it turns out and how competitive the car is once on track!

Just wondering, how are you going to get a heated windscreen - nick it from a Ford or something?

Nope, you can get them in clio fitment, straight forward fit.

We'll see about the racing, get a reliable season under our belts first - primarily excited about the prospect of racing - I have wanted to do it for a LONG time!

good to have a list, love the colours, as i designer i look forward to see where you will go with the graphics
Caged rollcage to?

Yes, caged cage, much like your own.

Colour scheme is pretty simple and clean; blue wheels and mirrors to match with JMS logos, black lights and then a variety of supplier logos along the sills etc, oh and the mandatory novice sticker

I've got a decent Ai file as a layout for the car, so I'm going to have some play with some designs when I get a chance.

The snow was a pain in the rear!
You mentioned earlier some experimental internal changes to the RS2 kit. What you done, or is it a secret?

Top secret im afraid. We had planned on stealing James' Meggy turbo once his back was turned but to deprive Mr Stone of his BOOOOOOST would be like telling Sir_Dave he can only buy one car a year.......i.e nigh on impossible.

Well as its a secret ill await until you guys are good and ready to spill the beans.
You couldn't deprive James of his BOOOOOST when he has only just got it lol.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Can't use Booost in Tin Tops

sounds spot on chap
look forward to seeing how this progresses.

 

[Tom@JMS]

Sum total of swfa achieved on the car last week, ordered some more bits and pieces and started looking at some management options as I am considering going non OEM for future proofing reasons.

Managed to find 10mins to pop headlight blanks on (even though one of the series I am looking at racing have re-introduced headlights - doh)

Looks suitably means I think you'll agree:

 

[TM.]

iLike <3

 

[Austin-182]

Looks brilliant! Does the botom of the windscreen have a sunstrip on also?

 

[Nick172Cup]

Thats looks pure evil! I love it!

 

[oliver.james]

Thats looks pure evil! I love it!

Agreed!

 

[Scattle]

Looks awesome, definitely looks mean!

 

[Silent_Scone]

nowt wrong with Omex

 

[Rob]

Looks brilliant, does the sunstrip, go like all the way around? lol!

 

[Sir_Dave]

I assume with a sunstrip that deep, you'll be asking Mike & i (AKA TeamDwarf) to race it for you

 

[Rob]

Knows it Dave!

(Either that or he'll cut two little eye holes in the middle )

 

[Nafoff]

no wipers also, you are racing it in the UK yes???? lol

 

[Christopher]

That looks absolutely MINT!

 

[LIL B]

Needs a larger sunstrip.

 

[Budgie]

Saw them kicking about in the workshop the other night.

Look awesome on it.

Also, PMSL at TeamDwarf.

 

[Cro]

Love that, if that came flying round a hairpin after me i'd probably just stick on the indicators tbh Reminds of me clarksons renault lorry!

 

[Tom@JMS]

nowt wrong with Omex

More than likely EC1, loom and Dash 2 package.

no wipers also, you are racing it in the UK yes???? lol

lol, no mate - scuttle panel is not on atm, but they will be there.

 

[jonny_rs]

LOVE THIS!

 

[Tony Hunter]

Tom,you will need to check the Blue Book for that sunstrp,can only cover a certain percentage of the screen.

And yes,headlights are a pain.

Thanks Tony, I've had a dig but can't find anything as of yet:

[Tony Hunter]

It's in there somewhere lol.

 

[Tom@JMS]

I'll have to have another dig through.

 

[Jay Payne]

They did update the regulation last year i think due to the shape of widscreens on some modern cars.

Having a set measurement is not a one size fits all solution. Ive seen a picture im sure of it

 

[Jay Payne]

What is your actual plan now then, in terms of track time/racing

 

[Tom@JMS]

1. Next 1-2 months - Build car, sort ARDs.
2. Mid March ownwards - Get the car out on track on a fortnightly basis, find its problems, sort problems.
3. July onwards - if possible find a single entry race or two and cut our teeth.
4. 2012 - Compete in a championship.

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

Dp you want come CF bullets to finish off all that black?

 

[Tom@JMS]

Yes, if they are free

 

[ScarySquirrel]

Your car is looking awesome Tom, good luck with the rest of the work you have planned

I'd love to do something like this (not myself obviously as the car would probably catch fire as soon as I touched it). Maybe when I win the lottery I'll have a Clio track car

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

Yes, if they are free

Cost you a cuddle?

 

[Tom@JMS]

You can have 1 sq inches of sticker space on the car?

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

WTF input would i have on your car.

i could make a suitably witty sticker i suppose

 

[Tom@JMS]

ok, you have 2sq inches - make me a design and I'll have it made

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

Lol - i might start a thread....

 

[Tom@JMS]

crack on

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

Lol - we'll see what the masses come up with.
