[F1 Mini]

Went to Cobra today and pickup these ...

[F1 Mini]

And yes I did sit in them ----- to make sure I had enough room to do a 2" roof chop above my Helmit. Thats the next job but I'm thinking of getting some Porfessional help for the thin metal welding needed for the roof, as It's got be cut into 6 pieces.

Got the Sierra uprights and rack from the Scrapy yesterday. Went to the Kit Car show and spent 45 Mins speaking to Chris Allanson MD of Z Cars. Now that bloke nows his stuff and has offered to help me with what ever I need. The most helpful bloke I've spoke to, and lovly quality kits, first time I've seen them in the flesh.

Wasn't going to use manual brakes but spoke to Holeshot and they said the Vacumn on there Turbo engine's are not realy enough to run the Servo on there Mini, so Big disc's and ally bells are now ordered 298 x 21 mm with ally 4 pots that should stop it.

thats mad i love it

[F1 Mini]

Front Track width with sierra Rack and uprights.

[F1 Mini]

Shows how far the track is wider than the normal mini.

[Alburglar]

That is gonna be wide!

[F1 Mini]

Yep..... 54" it was with the 6x12", it's going to be 64" after I'm finished.

jst a though, if you go for 10" wheels on the front is there not going to be an issue with stopping. A 350+ Bhp car needs some serious stopping power and the discs you can get behind a set of 10`s will be tiny. The holeshot car uses metro turbo discs behind 13`s i dont think they will fit behind anything small.

Feel free to correct me if im wrong though.

[F1 Mini]

So thats why I have the following

Fronts

7x15" ET 49mm Monza's with Vented 298x21mm and Ally 4 Pots (Calipers not yet made my mind which ones)


Rears

7x16" ET 38mm Monza's with Vented 280x20mm and Granny Cosworth Calipers.

Manual brakes with 7 to 1 ratio Pedal and Twin Bias master cylinders as Turbo Busa engine does not produce alot of Vacumn On either White
