It looks the business, but how does it work?

I raced this weekend (AutoX) and it definitely changed the way the Mini Handled. Tight quick Cornering was definitely :tighter: IMO

Went and took my Mini to the Weight Scales with a Full tank of Fuel and its weight was 2740 Total. I run it with only 3.5 gallons so it would be about 2692 without me in the Mini...Slowly getting down in weight!!!

The Splitter is 4 3/4" forward from the middle of the Mini and 5 1/2" from the Side Ends...works great and happens to look pretty good...

Definitely My Next Mod will be a Hybrid Turbo with a 50mm Wheel to replace the 43mm Stock Wheel. I will have to run a Straight Thru 3' Exhaust most likely,,,JM Turbo Cooper Turbo Built
