Have been sitting in mine now the floors all bolted up, I've only got maybe 3" above my head Once the seat goes in in could be tight......... :nugget:

[Ade]

sex on a stick..

Why thankyou (you'll make me blush...) oh wait a minute were you talking about one of the cars? :cheese:

[F1 Mini]

Spoke to Chris at the show, that Hill Climb racer is fantastic.......
He said that's the new Z Cars Shell, it's the first prototype, but they are going to for sale soon. It has 2" cut from the lower body hieght (like the Minus) but the windows etc are all standard hieght.... That cars wieght is depressing......
It's only 400kgs.... Ouch I don't think I'll ever get near that..

So if that was a 250bhp normaly asperated Busa then that makes it 625bhp/ton with out a driver........

Chris also said that the chassis will also be avalible for sale soon once they have finished the jig's....

Don't surpose any of you have a Spare V5 Mini Minus Log book..... My Steel shell looks so heavy now......

[Ade]

Well I've been out and taken a pic of the roof lining.... I know sad but it does look nice.. :tongue: Picture doesn't do it justice but you get the idea...

Not yet but we've apparently been earmarked for the next mini vid.......

Me too ADE!
It would be Brilliant to put A-series minus vs R1.

The director/producer/presenter, Ian wanted to buy my green minus but I wouldn't part with it for less than £10k. He said he is keeping the car on file, so I'm not definatley in it, but he must like it if he wanted to buy it!

[Ade]

Cool. Would definatley be interested to see how they would fair against each other!! :grin: Just pray to god mines quicker!!! Otherwise I'll have spend a lot of cash and time for nothing!!!! :nugget:

[Alburglar]

Well my minus owes me 10k at the mo. Yours can't be that more.

[Ade]

I think I'm about 3 or 4 ahead so far I try not to add it up any more!

[Ade]

Anyway after another tough day...... We have managed to get the ride height at the front to a more sensible level steering rack and colomn in and drivers seat in place and the gear lever.

Also finished of the fitment of the brakes up front.

The low point of the day was realising that we had to take the subframe of (again, ended up about three times in total today!!) because we had forgot to fit the accelerator pedal :nugget:

So a few pics where things only look a little different

And once again thanks to Pete for his help (I am starting to do more now before people think I'm taking advantage)

You can see how small it is in this picture, the bikes next to it really let you know just how tiny he is :grin: :cool:

Holy moses that is low, but 'wow' it looks the biz.

[Pickup76]

It'll be done in no time!

[R1mini]

Coming along well Ade,

When are you planning to be on the road by? I've done a fair bit myself since Stoneleigh, all that motovation you see, I have attached a piccie of the fitment of the transaxle into a modified subframe.

Then it will be FWD versus RWD on the nearest track

Cheers
Davi
