dont think Minis could get as much camber as this.

What the...
I would hate to see that hit a pot hole

[RayBoogs]

maybe this thread should get pinned ( @ admin )

Was just about to post the very same thing.

Also Dan your mini is superb!

[SimonWicklow]

SimonWicklow: They are indeed! Glad you like.

Dan.

Have you used any spacers to fill the arches? i've been offered a set of these wheels but not sure if i will have to get spacers

[danbmini]

Simon i'm running cooper 's' disk brakes at the front and spacered drums on the rear.

Stunning car, any more pics? specs of the car?
Alex

Thanks alex. Currently it has no engine! haha. But at the moment its in a rebuild state.
The finished article should see 170hp from the fly, by means of a T3 turbocharged 1380, full S/C transmission except final drive, Megajolt, Safety devices 6 point bolt in cage, Carbon Switch pod dash, Koso rx2n digidash, Little bit of audio. Arc angels heavy duty 2 piece FG front, 10x6 revo copies, Protech adjustable lowered height ally dampers, No rear bins or bench, Fully adjustable suspension components retaining original cones, FG bootlid, FG boot floor, Resprayed again in satin black. Pair of cobra clubman buckets with securon 3 point harnesses. Minispares 7.5" Discs and calipers with Mintex M1144 pads. Lightened steel doors, leccy windows, poly windows all around except for front screen, alarmed, immobilised and with central locking. Pretty much all the important details lol.

And the last one, one from one of the latest shows i went to, Such an agressive stance lol.

Stunning car i really like the first picture that was posted

It may just be me but how do you get 170hp out of what is listed?

It's a 1380 Turbo...

It's a 1380 Turbo...

A normal turbo engine is about 93hp, im guessing it being bored out to 1380 would make it around 140hp but that is just me having a guess

[Minuki]

Matt Williams'(I think) Is running a 1293 with 250hp and 310 using nitrous. So, I would imagine that a 1380 should develop 170hp with no real struggle.

[1994alex]

Any links?

[Carlzilla]

It all depends on the boost pressure you run, how efficient the engine is, how good the head is, what cam you use etc etc.
Everything you may want to take a look at is on turbo-mini.com
But remember with power comes a lot of cost, so my build is not going to be a cheap one :|
Oh, and the capacity doesn't make for that much difference except that you'll have more exhaust gases to spool the turbocharger up at a lower RPM for less lag.

[1994alex]

It sounds like you have been planning this out for a while
I will be intrigued in how you do it as i want to do something similar but do not know how =[

Less chat. More stance!

Found this one on Stance | Works. Not low but still sexual.
