get yourself on to the mini Se7en website and there is a forum there with loads of different sections to ask any questions you want

"The Mini Se7en S Class is aimed at drivers on a budget. Whether you are a complete novice or an experienced driver returing to racing, the Mini Se7en S Class allows you to join the Mini Se7en grid. With modifications and improvements strictly limited the budget for a season in an S Class car is going to be affordable. While racing with the more highly tuned Se7ens, an S Class car isn't going to be a 'tail end charlie', top 10 finishes are perfectly normal here."

What is allowed to be done to the engine & transmission?

[summs116]

Buy a rolling shell as there all the same as in cages rear arches bulk head subframe removal front mods
1275 +20 with standard internals with standard head. Single barrel of a 45. S brakes fixed 3.6 diff no straight cut transmission
Single adjustable shocks. I think there not fixed make now,
Se7ens are same shell and suspension but with a full race 998 and gearbox
So build a s class do a few seasons sell the engine and upgrade yo 998 race engine then if you really want upgrade to a miglia. Big brakes wheels arches and double adjustable shocks.
S class and se7ens tyres last almost a season a set where as on a miglia u need new fronts almost every meeting as rears last all season

Has anyone on this forum run a whole season in Mini Se7en S and can give an idea of the annual costs?

 

The more I look in to this the more I'm tempted.

I'm just getting to the end of my mini seven build, and although I have no idea on running costs I can safely say building a car from scratch is not cheap!! S class is the way to go as to entry level, cheap engine with nearly the same puff.

But for you have the funds i would get into it, it's brilliant fun

[Pitcrew6464]

how you getting on ?? let me know if i can help ;) any piccys?
