I have to plea guilty to letting out a lot of info early...... my car is done and running great.... currently tuned and I am very pleased....

there are three cars at the shop getting kits and Dave is sending one to Peter very soon...... I was at the dyno two nights last week tweaking and we did not get a final read... I think the car is now ready.....but I do not have any more time this coming week.....

At this time I have left it up to Dave when he releases numbers and information....... I am not trying to tease you all I am too tired (drove to Asheville NC today and back) but my car is damn fast right now and lots of fun to drive..... I called Dave this morning and told him I think we finally have it.....and he will tell you I am honest with him pretty hard to impress and please..... I am very happy with the way the car is performing.....

I would think I am in the running for the fastest non twin charge Mini...... but with the stock clutch I am not sure If I want to find out

 

SpiderX, with all the time and $$$$ you have spent, I sure hope you are the fastest non nitroused/twin-charged MCS out there.

 

uhhhhh yeah Damn I already have the money to spend on this thing. I will be patient though.

Bob with all that money you have spent you haven't replaced the clutch?

I'd work on that. It's awesome to see that we finally have the completed supermini. Congrats Bob hopefully sometime soon I will experience what you are right now.

I can't hardly wait. It's been a rough year financially so I've had to live with a mostly stock mini, which I love, but knowing there is so much more potential, it's hard to live with. I'm excited for something like this coming out that will end up working so well with my mini and not really have worries about quality. So keep up the experimentation and let us know. It makes me more confident about what I want to stick on my MINI.

 

the stock clutch is fine .... Eric (Helix) still runs a stock clutch on his twin charge "monster"..... as long as you don't do a lot of crazy ***** it is incredibly "robust"

my plan is to get a Quaiffe when the clutch goes and maybe a flywheel nothing too light but rather a mfg improvement... that will cost about $3K with labor so I am in NO hurry.......

 

SpiderX needs to addd "spared no expense" (jurrasic park quote) to his sig.

 

that would be awesome! it would give me another reason to get back out to the track!!!

Best of luck with the build guys! I am really interested to see the results of the M62!

 

if you want a clutch or clutch flywheel combo i will sell you one at my cost... pm me if you are interested. I just want to see this bad boy go down the track!

 

Waiting for the results of the M62 is killing me.

 

I'm surprized this got to the second page of drivetrain

 

Lack of news here has made this almost anti-climactic

 

Dr. O was pretty effective in his request that we not post unless we have something concrete..... my car is running great and has been home for about a week..... I love the power..... "hornguys" (Jim) and "Gr8force" (Dane) have been for a ride and I think they were quite impresssed. I will be at the mod party in Greenville SC with "Way motor works" on the 11th of Nov. held at the DDM shop.....

There are a few small issues left to clear up that have to do with tuning etc ..... we have not arrived at final numbers.....we have tuned a couple of times now and I am very happy with the feel of the car and the way it delivers power......

I'm sorry there are no numbers but we are just not done...... speaking with Don at Pecision this morning, he recognizes what a task this is considering the Siemans ECU.....A decision has been made to post the numbers on some of the 4 cars that are currently in the que......additionally the M7 car should be available for numbers sometime fairly soon.....Dave is deep in the process of preparing the kits......

My car is in Atlanta and for the serious you can call me and I will be happy to give you a demo...... PM me for an appointment.

We are a little over 3 months into a process that normally takes close to a year..... I have literally shed blood for this (dog bite) and speak with dave 2-3 times a day......FWIW I can't imagine needing more power for a street/twisties/autocross/track day/ car... but that is just me

 

Come on now tunning the Siemens shouldn't be that bad. After all you just installed a large supercharger. Trying making it run with out one.

 

does your turbo run "without one"... are you using a stand alone?

 

Yes my turbo runs without a supercharger. I am running a stock ecu with a few self tuned tricks.

 

very cool...... I hope you come to DDM in November for the WMW party... I would live to see your car....

 

So would you die if you didn't see it? Sorry couldn't resist considering the spelling.

 

I can't type worth a damn......

 

You of all people should know: fast is fun until it becomes routine. Then you must have faster.

 

it is the same for us... all of our turbo only cars are stock ecu... even the M600 during testing was stock ecu... once it was werkin then we went to the motec cuase it's easier.... but the stock ecu is very very stout

 

I will have to disagree with this... my ducati never got old... or slow.... it was always fun... 300 WHP in the mini is the same way... it's just silly.... and no matter how many times I have driven a 300 WHP mini it's just fast... power to wieght is at that point... everything above that... well is just insane.... but honestly I rarely drive me car over 350 WHP.... it's just not nessisary for day to day... 300 WHP makes the MINI faster than 90% of the cars on the road... and so for merging or out running car jackers... it's perfect... then if you want more... or have a 600 WHP supra pull up to you... you can turn it up... LOL

 

Have you had any 600 WHP Supra's pull up next to you? If you did, did you run it, and if you did, what was the outcome?

 

No, I hink this is enough.... the car is balanced and fun to drive and fast enough for me..... I may make other changes possibly transmission...lsd/clutch/flywheel... lose the heavy battery.... tweek here and there but I can say I am pretty much done...... I may start another car at some point.....

 

its true, fast is relative... when you get used to it... you want more... and then more.... and your bank account keeps complaining... and then you get a new car and you want to do it all over again....

 

nope... but I held pace with an F6 ...LOL... I wish I coulda seen his face.(helmet was on)... side by side... till.....very fast... he just kept looking over like... WTF!
