fucking amazing, subscribed, +1 for videos asap.

RX-Mini 02-28-11 12:40 AM

Adding a couple of engine pictures, for those who are interested.
As you can see, this is not a 'show 'n shine' project. The car is built to be driven in anger!
Have had the first start up for the season, but Norway is still covered in snow, so driving is a few weeks away. Don't have any videos yet, but they will come....

"The car is built to be driven in anger!".....It looks pissed off just sitting still! Very eager to see video on this thing...nice nice car.

RX-Mini 03-11-11 03:59 PM

Sorry...still no videos. First track-session is 16th of April, and I promise that some moving images will be recorded!:nod:
Adding some images of the new anti-roll bars front and rear... Had some body roll last year, and they will hopefully sort it out. The rear one I nicked from my mates BMW E30, and made it fit. It works well, and was free...
The front is an adjustable Minispares unit. Bolt-on for a change...
Got some new "shoes" as well :egrin:

Had the car at the tracks this weekend, to tweak the suspension, and do some testing. Had problems with the FD leading coil messing up at high boost when warm, so it was mostly cruising and short pulls. Managed to outdrive a couple of 911 GT3s on the straight a couple of times...FUN for me, but they was a bit upset...and surprised!:lol:
Going to do a Dyno-session tomorrow to figure out the ignition problems (now FC coil) and do a power-test...will post the numbers!
Made some LIVE footage as requested, but it looks a bit lame because of the problems we encountered... The car is faster than the video makes it look:blush:

That is amazing Great Job on the conversion and thanks for sharing the vid!!!!

RX-Mini 04-19-11 01:34 PM

Well... the Dyno-session was a success! Tweaked the ignition a bit, got rid of the mis-fire and it made 365 RWHP and 417 Nm at 1,1 bar without any problems. That'll do...

kalinakona 04-19-11 02:04 PM

Not bad numbers!

RX-Mini 04-20-11 04:56 AM

Got a video from the Dyno-session for those who are interested...
Didn't get the final and best pull, but U get the picture...:egrin:

damn nice torque! Meanest sounding mini I've heard.

pedro 04-20-11 09:36 AM

sweat car bro

Nexxussian 04-21-11 12:39 AM

Very nice. :)

Please get us a video of it on the track with it running like it does now on the dyno.

It seemed fast with it cutting out, it must be frightfully fast with it running well. :)

GarageSpecRay 04-24-11 03:37 PM

Incredible....that is so amazing...

RCCAZ 1 04-24-11 06:57 PM

Subscribed. Can't wait to see your next on-track video now that you have the ignition problem sorted.
