Free Newman Camshaft competition...

.........all you have to do is guess what time Jan will run at Buttonwillow at the Redline Time Attack event this weekend

Jan has predicted he will run under 2.00.000, so your one guess must be to the thousands of a second.


Good Luck

P.S I'll ship it to anywhere in the world

This would be interesting if Jan was running. The car isn't ready as header / exhaust production takes first priority over the TVS. Those need to ship to fill orders and put money in the bank. Priorities.

Once the car is running it's off to get tuned. Then the JRZ's get installed and then a couple track days to get them all set up. Then it's time to set some low times Paul.

Oh ya, congratulation on your 11.73. I am vary happy for you that your car ran fast for 11 seconds. Did you notice how you posted that and nobody cared.

Just me........................

Thats a pity, so why has he ripped it apart? it was on the dyno and first drove it in Nov 08 I thought all he had to do was some fine tuning?

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...he-box-21.html

I'm sure all his customers wont mind an extra 4 days waiting so he can get the car done and kick some butt around Button Willow

Cant see him being ready for May at this rate.

Oh I forgot LB. Jan cared because he posted on MT that I still hadn't beaten Jove and his 13.19.

But I did on the Sat on my secound back to back run with a 13.14 and the IAT were going over the line at 79c

So it has an 0 in it or maybe a 12 with the right sized slicks.

Oh I forgot I weigh 2630lbs Jove weighs 2488 so 142lbs is .142 of a sec so that would put Jove at 13.332 and me at 13.14 if we weighed the same.

We will have some heads up weighing exactly the same at some point, it'll be close thats for sure

Hey Paul,

The car was running a prototype water to air intercooler with the TVS in November. This was to test the viability of the big TVS with the 2.0L. That test proved the combination so design started on a new water/air intercooler/manifold. This design is new from the ground up. These things do take time to design and develop.

As you can see these item are CNC machined from billet.






Look at the size of that throttle body .

Here are the other items that have been designed and built since November.

1. Two completely new exhausts. One for the track and one for the street designed just for the 2.0L/TVS. These are complete exhausts from the

2. Full stand along that runs the electronic throttle body

3. Uprated fuel system

4. 1st JRZ suspension designed exclusively for the Mini (RMW is the US distributor of these)

5. New uprated custom methanol system

6. New custom oil cooler system

7. Custom radiator setup that retains AC (got to stay cool on the way to the track)

Then their safety items like a new roll cage to strap those 6pt harness to. Even a HANS device

So as you can see Paul these things all take time and rushing to prove a point for you or anyone else is not important. These products take time because some day soon they will be for sale as production units.

I know product development is hard for you to understand seeing you have never designed and produced a single part for the Mini aftermarket. You have a Mini repair shop that does bolt-ons from real manufactures. I get it but please try to understand that manufacturing takes time to do it right the first time.

Longboard

Depends what configuration it is at Button Willow... if its no 13 then there is no way he'll beat a Noble M400 which ran a 2:00.40 as that has 425 bhp and weighs in at 2,100 lbs.

Shame you're not running Jan but judging by the above it's going to be worth the wait.
