I take it you mean the mini and not the 250 because that is being given away?

Smurfy (the mini) won't take very long. If it's not ready for Drag wars (17th, 18th July) then I will be a bit disappointed. My Contingency deadline is Southern Mini Days Which is early August.

But we'll see.

Started two jobs this afternoon.
Removing the rear subframe and cutting the floor.

But it won't let me upload my pics as normal. so will post stuff tomorrow.

I usually have to make my pics a bit smaller and have tried that but keep getting this error message.

THE FOLLOWING ERROR(S) WERE FOUND
The requested file upload failed. This is either because it was not in the correct format, or the file size was larger than that allowed. Please check the file you wish to upload and try again.

They are jpegs. Any ideas what is wrong?

Oh good not just me then

I've just been on the z-cars website and done some calculations:

The twin R1 engine'd car weighs in at 660kgs with a full tank, water, oil, etc.
The engines weigh 60kg's each, so my car will weigh approximately 600kg's.
My fully jetted engine will push out a solid 160bhp
1000kgs / 600kgs = approx 1.67 (the full number has about twenty 6's after the decimal point)
x 160bhp = 266.67bhp per tonne.

I am amazed. Can't wait til it's done!

His number plate is SMF ### Y, and he is blue, so it was an obvious choice really. :cool:

A standard mini's kerb weight starts from 638 kilos to 699.3 kilos. Depending on suspension and mark. If yours is rubber suspension and no ice I would say 640 is about right.

Cheers mate,

Good news,
I am now the proud owner of a fibreglass mini minus shell.
I will do the work to mate it to the zcars kit over winter.

[Alburglar]

Plus now that pics are uploading again I have lots of progress that I will post after work tonight.
