I don't know if this has been posted or not, but holy poOp!!! http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1056610

 

The Honda-Tech guy's profile that posted that says he's from California. I wonder who the lucky MINI Dealer is? All it say is "MINI of" on the car and the dealership is left blank.

EDIT: Quick Google Search on "Andres Motosports" turned up this.

Bay Bridge Motors (a division of Andres Motorsports) in OAKLAND near IKEA for any of you S.F. people.

MORE PICTURES OF THAT BEAST

 

Holy Pooop is an understatement...

Look at the rear suspension...

 

!

 

nicely done! not too much ...just right!

 

i wonder how they got it down to 1,700lbs with all that stuff in there?!

 

Was this that "How much is too much for street" thread?

 

"I am sorry sir. Your blown head gasket is not covered under factory warranty because of minor engine mods"

 

LOL!

Actually, apart from the "non-factory" panel filter - there doesn't seem to be any glaring reason why warranty would be denied!

 

Anyone notice the high-tech brake reservoir cap on this puppy?
Yeah, that'll keep moisture out!

 

Oops- I forgot about the custom metal-foil EMI/heat shielding for the DME!

Light hearted sarcasm aside, having crewed for SCCA production cars, I must say that overall, the car looks really good. I didn't see any duct tape on the bodywork!

I wonder if M7's upcoming CAI will require "bonnet modification" similar to what this car has...

(last edited 1:19 AM EST. It was easier that posting thrice in a row.)

 

hmmmm... no less than 7 guages mounted on the dash... methinks there's a little something more than a panel filter going on... or it gets routinely flogged on the track.

 

NICE!!!!

Jacques Andres at Bay Bridge Motors is the guy who did the car.
He's the one who installed my MiniMania Stage II Kit and Unichip, great guy!
Glad to see my baby was in good hands...

 

Awesome!

I wonder what he’s actually using it for because I’m guessing it’s not auto-x.

 

that new radiator gives you a nice view of the water pump and blower.

 

"I'm sorry, but we couldn't seem to fix that dash rattle you have been complaining about."

 

I would love to get one of these fenders! Would look mean on my MINI when i'm done with it!



Make a fender like that out of CF for a decent price and you have my order

 

When half your rollcage is made of Carbon Fiber or Kevlar i can imagine you can get the weight down!

 

That and the fact he skipped on the sub woofer for the after market sound system.

 

 

What I'd do to get a lap in that BEAST!!!!!

 

The next M7 evolution

 

Now THAT'S A REAL DIFFUSER Common guys...M7? Enzo?



Check out the "swelled up" IC intake. Nice way to ram in more air. Who's got this piece?

 

Bay bridge motors is where Randy did a pully party in Sept. That car was in their garage.

 

Do you think that BMW voided his warranty?
