ye i saw them to, good show that was. im pretty sure that was basky and roofless sweet motors both of them !!

[roofless]

a cabriolet R1 Pro-mo ?? who'd be stoopid enough to do that ??????

mines the cabriolet, the peppermint ( porsche ? ) green beauty belongs to basky who's also a regular on here .

good luck with it, get ready for big smiles and soiled underwear

[Sean12]

roofless, you have a truely lovely mini, it is very nice an to does basky both awsome machines. I am currently at uni an so undecisive as to either stick my motorbike engine in the front of my mini or the rear. this is part of a uni project i am doing (mechanical engineering). got lots of equipment an tools handy at uni, but literally just cant decide whether to go rear or front !?!? any recommendations or suggestions from having a front engined BEC mini ???

not got subrame yet and want to sort out ram pipes and air filters so could anyone with a promo kit measure their throttle body to top of wing rail, clearance for me please, also what are people doing about power commander maps, cheers in advance for any help

[roofless]

I adjust the power commander on each trip - dont run a permanant map per say - by the way if you want a power commander I have a spare one here for the 5PW.

I also have a good front subframe at the back of my unit if you need one. I'm only 20 mins form their workshops and could drop it off on my travels.

are you not running the Pro-Mo air box? dont forget you'll need to mount and use the air sensor in something. from the top of the throttle body you have at least 120mm clearance ( because thats how deep my airbox is )

[akaflash]

got power commander came with bike cheers, not took any notice of sensors as yet, but bid not see air flow sensor on bike, or did you mean atmospheric air pressure sensor, might be a pain as wanted to use ram pipes and sock filters, cheers fella will take you up on offer of subframe save me stripping mine down as still has old engine ect on it

got the frame built up this week ,brakes and suspension, finished of the welding on the shell, got the roll cage fitted in, cut of the roof to take carbon fibre skin, hopefully fitting barnett clutch in tommorow then get engine in the frame, then all being well prime the body shell at the weekend, phew one busy week off, where does the time go?
