I found an online pricing sheet for parts to the current F56 JCW MINI Challenge cars that includes pricing. There are parts there I cannot source elsewhere that I actually require for my build (like the radiator for example). Anyone familiar with the process of purchasing these parts or how to obtain them?

 

It may be a long shot but sometimes they pay off, since the Challenge editions were only sold in the UK try reaching out to one of their local MINI Centers.

In addition try posting this on the MINIF56 forums since there are many UK MINI owners on it.

Hopefully you get the information and part(s). Have a great weekend and motor on -Rich

Dont have alcon and talked to them, they will not sell that kit in the USA or any of the aftermarket MINI ones. :( Other option wilwood: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-wilwood-parts/v-Mini/ Brembo: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-brembo-parts/v-Mini/

Bespoke touring car inspired aero kit: Kind of looks like duall ag a little. My guess is its similar? https://www.ecstuning.com/b-duell-ag...fb3.21frpjcw~/

Mintex but can swap out for EBC, they run alcon so the are made for those brakes. But you can get big brake kits above.

I really appreciate this BUT I am already past all of that and the car is already equipped with a lot of those types parts: Airtec motorsports intercooler, Full full full suspension and chassis bracing, etc etc. I cannot find a performance all aluminum radiator anywhere, which is why I started zeroing in on this. Which is astonishing given that these cars have a heat management issue once you go beyond stock.

My exhaust is full titanium car back and just did a wavetrac install.

I need cooling parts now

 

Ok, if i find any rads i will let you know.

 

#1 biggest thing for me right now is getting my hands on a 3D scanner I researched so I can start scanning and re-engineering/designing/testing new parts

 

I have a contact who has a contact with one of the race teams, ping me a pm if this is still a ongoing requirement and I will see what is possible
shipping cost will always be a issue from the uk, and I might have to wait until the end of the season for a sensible response.

the Jcw class are not doing Silverstone this season which is a shame, as local to me and I could check out some dimensions.
I am guessing that next season could be the last one with the f56, so there could be surplus stock race part available for those who can wait..
