What you're waiting for

 

waiting for the kid to be around so i can make sure they fit since they're mounted on honda wheels....wanna make sure the back space is right.

and also to fix my clutch problem....been having trouble lately with it not wanting to come out of first when im in stop and go traffic. gotta double clutch it to release...happens intermitten

 

Check the slave... mine went out on me in two of my minis... one was at a trafic light and i was in gear... the car started to move forward as if i was letting out the clutch... it was so funny. I just drove it to the dealership without using the clutch... even from a stop... LOL


In all seriousness.. 06's in particular had an issue with the slave... so make sure you check that out as part of your diagnosis... also how recently did you put that clutch in? Did you bleed your system during the install or pull the slave off to side and drop the tranny?

 

did the clutch in the past month or so....pulled the slave off....then found it leaking afterwards so i put a new one on it and power bled it. I didnt have the tool to compress the slave in so i wedged something between it and the arm but i dont think it was all the way in when i bled it.

 

this just in this just in...

my mile an hour record might have fallen...

i got a text message from an englishem that said 105.6

it could only be the one and only Paul Webster!!!

Anxiously awaiting the details!

Good work Paul!

 

oh the suspense!

 

No suspense... it's official

RMW/1320 = fastest M45 supercharged car in the world!

Who wants to drive the 2.0L GP to bring the record back to the States?

 

ur offering someone to drive ur car?

bring it out here and you got a deal....lol

i would of had some #s today but the track got rained out.

 

Not so fast,


The record still hasn't fallen.

I spoke with Paul on the phone. The car ran a 13.8x and 105.6


He beat the mile per hour but the time is off. However, the record is definetly threatend. I heard this car has a stock clutch with 45k on it. With a clutch, the record should fall.

If your intersted... I will drive it... but for somereason... i think you are going to say no...

 

technically the MegaMINI sadly and regretibly holds the title to the fastest M45 supercharged car in the world

 

whats the record for only bolt-ons with no internals?

 

13.2@ 105.5

 

i thought you guys had a head on that car.

 

that's still a bolt on... internals is from the deck down

 

internals means all internal lubricated parts. so i guess that # was with a head/cam then. hmmm

 

In the racing world, internals typically means pistons, rods and crank.

Well, the only thing that was internally lubricated on the car that was different than stock was the schrick cam. The valves etc... were all stock.

 

I like boost and chocolate chip cookies

 

ok....im gonna also guess with that comment your head and other things might of been ported n polished

 

ok pumpkin

where is that you had you car pictured in? or was it photoshopped?

 

who doesn't!!!!


I like 5 valves per cylinder and chocolate cookie dough ice cream....

 

it's a place out here called Orton Plantation... beautiful isnt it?

no photochoped

 

[continue hijack]

wow. I thought photochopped too when I saw it. What's the full size image look like?

[/continue hijack]

so why hasn't isellem changed his siggie to reflect that he no longer has the fastest non-nitrous or twincharged MINI?

 

b/c its abt ET not mph. doesnt matter how fast you ended the 1/4 in....its how fast you made it to the end.

paul 13.8 to isellems 13.2

 

I understand that the quicker ET gets you the flashing light of victory. I only pointed out mph because isellem says quickest and fastest in the siggie. That statement is no longer true.

 

paul in his own car has gone quicker

and in customers car with our head....gone faster

so you are correct, he is NEITHER the quickest or fastest in an M45 MINI

now if he wants to put.... "formerly" in his sig then he would then be correct
