Right now thinking of going with the open diff... just to leave things simple.. wish DTC could come without the EDLC though... I wonder, in a launch, if both wheels are spinning, if EDLC will try to brake both front wheels?

 

Minor Update:

From people I've spoken to it sounds like it will let you launch and spin both wheels, at least in a straight line.

Furthermore, it is confirmed that the car IS in production! So I'm hoping for the car to arrive sometime in November. On the flip side, I wasn't able to change anything (wanted to go piano black trim instead of CF) but I'm happy it was ordered with DTC.

I am also trying to get the strut tower brace to be port installed as well as get documentation, so it can be legal for all MINIs in stock class! Very unlikely though.


::edit:: the strut tower brace IS a port installed item. whoo hoo!

 

Back in business! Picked up on 10/28 with about 9-10 miles on it (dealer filled up gas for me). Tons to come

 

Proof needed...

Post a .pdf from MINI USA confirming that part number 51 71 0 415 674 is a Port-installed option.

 

I'll check with the MA for it. They definitely told me (after I put in my order) that it could have been port installed, but couldn't make any changes once the order was in. I'll see what I can find.

 

pics!

 

Congrats on a great looking Mini! What class are you aiming for by the way?

Cheers,

Charlie

 

H-Street of course! I wanna go to nats this year Charlie!
