Thats a Mini thing I think there is always something else you can do or what to change :)

 

Yes definitely, my list is just massive though!

 

Everything will come off it and be lightened at some point.

Fair enough is it not light enough? lol

Yea i went to players! Picked up a top 20 award and got selected for a speedhunters feature. Quite surprised as the standard of cars was very impressive.

Good work dude and mucho deserved. Following you in instagram now as well

Saw this at Players and its just as nice in the flesh. I kept popping over to say hi but you were either chatting away to others or keeping the girlfriend amused; it looked liked she'd had enough towards the end!

 

Congrats on the award and photoshoot too, I doubt it took you any longer to get away after this either as it was a proper mission trying to leave.

Thanks dude, had a good look round yours to, must be bloody scary! Monster!

Haha she doesn't need to be kept amused, I do though! I'd definately had enough by the end we didn't leave till it was getting dark. Only the people packing up the stage were left and it was a little cold for shorts lol.

A bit of an update.
 
Its in mini mag this month .
 

 

 
I also went to Players Show and came away with a top 20 award and a speedhunters feature to top it off. The standard of the VW cars was incredible so i was chuffed to win something!
 

 
I've changed a few more bits on the car to save weight and improve it.
 
I made a different battery strap.
 

 
Drilled some holes.
 

 
Dropped the catch can, changed breather setup, changed the rocker cover to a CF one and fitted a front rad with electric fan. This all saved me about 3-4kg and has improved the engine bay. Although i still need to move some wiring.
 
The front mount is ridiculously tight as i still have a dizzy.
 
Before

 
After
 

 
Finally i had a bit of a stupid moment.
 
The door skin had started to split from the frame of my GRP doors (good old arc angels). I thought i would take the inner out to save some weight whilst fixing it but in doing so i drilled through the outer skin... I have repaired and painted the damaged area but i need to blow over the whole door still.
