The tires are radial (dont know anything else about them), but they are pretty old, like 2-3 years or so. I did make some formula out of Acetone, White spirit and Diesel fuel, that I put on them before tire warm up. It works like magic!

The wheel spray stuff was just a quick operation just for the fun, did it in like 45 minutes for the two wheels .

About the weight! It is 1250kg with everything in it, I take the passenger seats out and save I think about 50-70kg. and think that it does make a difference.

Looks great, gives me hope for my little EMB. Is that an R32 Skyline I see? Have you taken the car to the dyno? Or have you not installed the new supercharger yet?

 

 

Yes, R32 Skyline.

New supercharger is installed, have never dyno it... hard to have an dyno in Iceland...

ET@1755lbs gives roughly about 200-220 whp

 

Technically that's an R33 skyline... Great looking Mini though! I like that color and the stripes, and the power mods seem to be working excellently for you!

 

Looking great!
