No the brakes are still an issue. We managed to get them temporarily fixed and unseized but i things I need to go shopping again for some parts!

[Midas Mk1]

Yes it permanent 4wd, with a 60/40 split front to back.
Once I get some tax and get it aligned the fun will start!

It did get a couple of random glances yes. I did scare a small child as well, but that was by accident (honest)

Once it's all running nicely, I will have to test out the anti lag and launch control!

It's fun scaring people in a normal Mini blipping the throttle, I bet its a whole new level in this!

What a beast!!!

Awesome going! You're literally round the corner, I need to see this beast in the flesh. You still looking at doing some RWYB next year?

[kmol468]

Yeah once it's up and running I will be doing a few shows, track days and Santa pod days.
Building a car like this means it has to be pushed to see what it can do.
The paintwork is pretty bad now though due to all the marks its picked up.... I wonder if someone wants to spray it professionally for free as part of a 'sponsorship' deal! Lol

[Simples]

Function over form every time! Not like much will keep up with it anyway :)

So thanks to a friend, here is the edited go pro footage. If you want to waste 10minutes 42seconds on YouTube, tune in.

I'm waiting on parts at the moment to rebuild the brakes then I'm going to have some fun.
And for any eagle eyes viewers, one of those buttons on the steering wheel is launch control.

Be good if you could get your mate to put the go pro in his car next time your out,just to see what the beast looks like going down the road.Its hard to gauge your speed with it in the car.Is the occasional noise,your tyres spinning?

[kmol468]

Nope there was no wheel spin at all.
Once it's up and running I will get various shots of it all. I'm interested in how quickly it shifts from a standing start and the exhaust note with anti lag switched on!
