I was out last Friday and was testing some parts..... the car was very consistent, still much more in the car. We were the fastest car on the track all day long. Plenty of people were wondering why the Mini was so fast

I will upload more videos of the day. Have some good footage to sort through. Get your popcorn

 

When you hammer that Z tward the end of the video it's classic. You hear him step on it and then bam! he's gone. I bet he was suprised eh? LOL

Nice job Mr. Jan

 

thanks Tuls
there were plenty surprised people in the advanced group

there were 2 trailered in NASA 350Zs that got passed all day long

I'll try and get up some of the other video as I have quite a bit

 

UNPOSSIBLE!

 

let's talk about unpossible:

the Car was driven over 300mi round trip without an issue
it beat every car that was there at the track and many were trailered in

RMW 2.0L stroker kit
RMW custom ECU tune
RMW custom exhaust
Air duct kit for brakes
Race wheels and tires
RMW W2A Laminova kit
Coilovers with camber plates
adjustable rear control arms
Half 91 pump gas and half 100 octane put in at the track

Here is what's stock on the car:

stock JCW brakes, pads, rotors , lines and FLUID
Stock JCW airbox, throttle body
stock sway bars
nothing taken off the car to lighten
everything else was stock... enjoyed the air conditioning too

 

which nut was behind the wheel?

 

this one

just think if I had a real driver behind the wheel

 

why do you think I was asking?

 

when you have a guy with 5 total track days beat a World challenge driver in a 328whp turbo car around the same configuration tells you quite a bit how well this car handles and drives

while others talk about performance..... we show it on the dyno and then back it up on the track. I'll get Flanery to drive it around and see what it will do

 

that's what we're all waiting for. If you can rack up a 1:28....ZOMG! at SPF's number

 

it's nice to know that a mere "mortal" can run that type of number with little experience

why do you think all of the racers are coming here for parts?

oh yes..... guys racing pro series are running our parts under the hood now....

start watching for better placings

 

So when do you want to fly me out?
You lighten the car!!!!!!!!!!! You took the JCW air cleaner flap and switch off the car. LIAR

 

By the way. Flat tracks SUC_.

 

its not flat

 

Nice vid, nice time. Even with your driving skills. Throw the vid up on Google Video. The quality is better.

 

I did put it on Google

I had to lower the resolution because it kept dumping the upload

 

Need to use their upload software for large files.

 

Great job at getting that time Jan. Can't waite to see how I will enjoy the Mini @ SOW.

 

Hey, did they repave a big section of it? Looks like new asphalt from about two turns after the bowl all the way to the half way point of the short straight before the turn into the front straight.

 

good god man. I love the vid. Its funny, im always on google or youtube, looking for rmw videos haha

 

Jan -
Nice job. You changed out the street tires, correct? What tires were you running?

 

Yes, those are my track wheels/tires
Hoosiers

 

Great stuff.

So is the track faster run CCW or CW? What speed were you at at the end of the main (now downhill) straight? Did you like having that large T1 in the CCW version? Seems like it would make it forgiving.

 

hard to tell which is faster
it all depended when I finally braked
it was moving
ask the Z's how fast it was going

 

Let's just show how fast this time of 1:28 really is:

Not fast enough Teiichi
