Wow, 2010 Sounds like its time to start a new project...

I will call it the SteelHorse...

I need to set this beast up with Tires/Wheels and Brakes for the Track and maybe a few runs down the interstate for high speed testing...

I have moved on from Diesel Truck pulling competition and want to get on the track...

Your Suggestions will be helpful...

Thank You..

 

Well you've come to the right place to find information, and there's a lot of it. Try searching for things like 'pulley' and 'tuning' and 'swaybar' and you'll get a wealth of information. You might also check vendor sites such as, say, www.helix13.com.

 

Thanks Helix13, A person can get lost with all this information.. I may try and contact owners who are on the track and pull information from them...
Thanks Again...

 

Try this: Heartland Park of Topeka Touring Club
Also, local chapter of SCCA.
Pulley, Rear Sway Bar, High Temp Brake Pads, High Temp Brake Fluid

 

Good luck on your SteelHorse project, keep us informed as to progress, some words and pics.

 

Heartland Park in Topeka, I got to drive that track years ago before they reconfigured... I went to a driving school one weekend and worked with Jim Wheeler... He races in A sedan class... I am trying to get this MCS up to snuff for this summers driving classes...
I will take alook into the club and find someone who races MCS...

I will also keep the pics and info posted...

Thanks for all the Info...

 

First Look:

The Mini needs a new engine motor mount. Sounds like the 2004s have a problem with leaking.

I would like to put on something a little better than factory.

Whats out there?

And when I do change the mount should I put the 15% S/C pulley on at that time to save me the pain of taking it loose again...

And when I do replace the pulley should I do the crank pulley at the same time....

Thanks for the help....
