  1. I'd be interestd Chris - the times I've had chains 'sharpened' only to find within a couple of hours they've gone again. I've got a couple of chains I was going to throw out. Ones been sharpened by hand (by me and probably badly!) but I got a batch cheap so figured on only using once. Let me know what you'd charge... ... LMAO ! Good point - Chris is the future mad-max/death-race competitor! BTW - Sorry Gav, this has gone off topic a bit!
  2. I'd second everthing Chris has mentioned... Spend at least the same amount on the protective clothing as on the saw as well. (on a new saw price, not second hand) At least get trousers, gloves and eye protection - you won't even have time to react if a chainsaw decides to attack you! Also a saw horse - DONT try and use your foot to hold the trunk! Also, you'll need a log splitter (Maul) - not an axe, as they do different jobs. Split the logs as soon as you cut them as they'll be easier to do than when they dry out. Then leave them for a season at least before burning otherwise they'll deposit sap on the log burner liner and it'll run down the liner back onto the burner or into it. Unless you're looking at logging quite a few trees and need the exercise it's probably cheaper to just buy them by the cubic metre from a seller. ... just a few tips I've learn't over the years
  3. Are you at the pod this weekend? I think I have a set in the garage, I'll check asap.
  4. I may be selling my Advan RS's with R888's (almost new) over the winter.... if you haven't found anything by then you may be able to pick them up for the price of a new set :-)
  5. ... as Tim said, we both run TC, mines been running last year with approx 600-650 hp and worked well for me. I have 8 steps that I can use, from no TC right through to full wet running and I tend to adjust that during races. This year due to running slicks (rather than R888's) it doesn't seem to be kicking in as much one they're warmed up. Cold slicks need no TC otherwise they dont warm up in time! (rolling start and 1 lap to get the heat in them ) As to how it works... I'm the driver so Ryan's yer man - although I know we spent some time getting it setup right.
  6. He did indeed, see you at the Pod...
  7. Roger, you're first on the list mate....
  8. I was almost psychic there for a moment and was going to mention Mike, as I don't run 285's.
  9. Hi Ian, Don't think it will fit, IIRC we had to chop and weld a drivers side to fit passenger side. The mount onto the tunnel scuppers the fit.... Thanks though
  10. SOLD SOLD SOLD I have a bride seat frame (was used with a Recaro SPG profi). It's drivers side, used for a couple of years in my race car. £100 and I can bring to Supra Pod, other wise posted - but I'll have to find out costs.
  11. If they let me run with slicks I'd come, but I've invested more than enough this year on tyres! Tim was trying to get me to come, with or without car as I cancelled on the race at Oulton at the last minute due to costs. We'll be testing and racing at Rockinham on 19/20/21 Aug instead. I'll try and keep TA Snetterton free so I can come over
  12. Well done mate, glad to hear you're running well. Has anyone tried shaving the tread down on the pirelli's to see if they work better? (with less tread movement they should stay cooler)

  14. Not yet, but if I get a chance tonight I will....
  15. Well I've got someone who'll have them for less. Frame will still be available.
  16. So, no one wanted the pictures then
  17. maybe a couple of pubes... if I don't have to pull them out
  18. You may be able to. The length of the latch bracket may be an issue, but if you can fabricate one to locate it in the same way as in the pic then it may work.
  19. Hi Martin, I don't think the stock belts will work with any seat like these. It would have to go around the seat rather than through the belt holes and compromise the safety of the belt. ...sorry:)
