I know someone hear about 1 year ago in England added a Carbon Fiber Hood and Hear hatch to his 'Newer" Mini. I am racing Nationals in Omaha this year at a Nation Autocross and I need to LOOSE WEIGHT.

Hope fully the guy who added the Carbon Fiber to his New Mini can contact me and help me find out how I can purchase one and get it sent to Texas!!!

 

Vis Racing has carbon fiber hoods. They dont have the CF hatch. Just for the Gen 1 MINIs. Seibon Carbon used to have items for MINI and they are now NLA.

The Duell AG one we sold out and none in stock, its Fiberglass/Carbon Fiber and it might save a little weight. Weight time is long: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-duell-ag...6cb1.1frp~dag/


Hope you can find a trunk one.

 

I just ordered one yesterday for approximately $1750 including shipping...they told me it weights about 22 pounds or a bit less. I need to drop another 150#s or so to get close to 2530#s. I will also be removing ALL MY AIRCONDITIONING PARTS...AND...The Top Roof Sliding Windows and Window Motor.

I Started at 2890#s...Dropping 360#s and then figuring want to do with the Actual Engine. I have done things Outside The Engine to get it to 300 HP+ (including a 50mm Turbo) but I probably need to find out what I can do directly to my engine.

Honestly I want UNDER 2500#s and OVER 350 HP

 

VIS racing?

 

Well my Carbon Fiber Hood is supposed to arrive on Feb 5th...can't wait to check if it is OK. If it is not light enuff, I will find a way to lighten it up some more.

I do have my first Autocross Slicks on...just on my 18x8.5 wheels but that will good enuff for the first part of the year.

I will get a pic once I have it installed...I might paint it the same as the Metal Hood...
