Spare Parts MINI 1st RallyCross

Well, went to my 1st RallyCross in the MINI after the rebuild. I'm fairly proud of my work, everything held together. Pics and video below, unfortunately I messed up the sound... so play your fav hype music in the background

Nice. On snow? What sort of tires do you use?

Lol. Was trying to figure out how you put the 5.3L in a MINI. After a few minutes of puzzlement, I figured out your list.

I was running Nokians snow tires, they worked out nicely.

Also yes, I was pretty mad at myself for not checking the audio all day. The little guy sounds pretty good with the full exhaust done :-( That's why I only cut in 2 minutes out of a day of racing, hopefully I don't mess it up again at next month's race.

Looks like fun, but I think the rough ride you get in a Mini would be torture on that course.

Hope you have some really good shocks and springs.
