Awesome performance mods, looks very good. How are the brakes working now with new rotors, pads and cooling ducts opened?

 

Very thanks.

The brakes now work very well, the brake pedal does not stretch and do not overheat also in extreme use at the track.
Oh I forgot, I replaced the original brakes oil with Shell donax ub.

 

How'd you get past the airbag light with the sweet sparcos?

 

I like your Mods. I am jealous of the seats. Looks like you drive the GP like it should be driven.

 

Lovely car! love the OZ wheels - and nice red background car!

How do you like the Sparco seats?

 

I used 0,5w and 2.2 ohm resistors as the pictures:

Oh yes, with these seats I removed about 30 kg compared to the originals, and the low seat makes feel better movement of the chassis.

Thank you!

Which red background car, Mini or Ferrari?

I like much the Sparco seats, I love them! (Hope i have understand the question, my english is bad. )

 

Thanks! You're the man!

 

Suweet and thanks for posting a photo of the OZ alleggeritas on a GP. I've been scouring the web for months to see what those look like on a GP. Yours is the only decent foto. Are they the Anthracite color?...please LMK... If so they look better than I thought...good contrast to our GP color scheme. Oh and everything else you've done is rockin' !!!

 

Thanks!

Yes, the color is anthracite. I wanted them to blacks, but after being installed to test, I fell in love to this colors combination.

 

Very nice driving @ monza. Molto Bene! If you were running the OZ Alleg 17" wheels, what tires were you using? I can't imagine that they were the stock 18" dunlop RF rubber. and OEM wheels..I can hear the tires in many of the turns and they sound much higher performance than the RF's can do.

 

Thanks.

Was the first time I running into that circuit, and I did not know the ideals trajectories, I could drive better.

To running I used the original wheels with Yokohama S Drive tires.

The tires were good because it was cold (2°)

 

I saw that American's GP's have this piece to the back bar, what is it? The European's Gp's don't have this. Thanks

 

As I understand it that is a hook up point for a baby seat that one might put in the passenger seat. I know it seems crazy but it may be due to some obscure US safety standards. Don't have one to test, some other GP owner may have... but it IS a strange item!

 

Great to see you using your GP properly. Great modification on the brake cooling ducts.

From what I understand though, the effectiveness of those ducts is improved when the duct is directly blowing on the backside of the rotor. This location would be on the opposite side of the hub as the caliper, so it blows on the rotor, not the caliper. Don't ask me for data as I do not have any to support.

Again, great GP, awesome seats!

 

Dangg! very nice lookin' GP

Love the Seats

 

Ok thanks. I thought it was a support for cameracar or a clothes hanger.

Is right, but to cool good the brakes, needs both ducts.

That highlighted in blue is for cooling the caliper, and green is for cooling the rotor:



The cold air enters in wheel hub from the second duct and leaves the rotor:



For have a cooling system like this, need a wheel hub and rotor worked inside. The construction of this cooling system is more complicated and most expensive compared to the system cooling caliper and IMHO unnecessary for road use and some trackday, is really useful only in race.

Thanks all for compliments for mods.

 

Wow, double ducts, that looks awesome. I bet it really helps. So, are they both fed from the same inlet you modified in the bumper? do you have some kind of Y to feed them both?

Also, it looks like you have upgraded the front calipers, that will also make a difference.

Congrats on the great brake setup!

 

I love the KW "MINI Challenge" Spec coil-overs!!!!!

 

Where did you get brake cooling kit and how much for KW "Spec MINI Challenge"

 

The photos you quoted of brake cooling kit and KW I found on Internet.

 

Love the mountain pics. Also like seeing the Ferraris in the background with your MINI on the lift.

I like your intercooler shroud mod. Is it made of aluminum? What did you paint it with? Thanks.

 

Thanks.

Yes, is it aluminum and I colored with spray.

 

Here's some news!

New seats more racing of Sparco:
