Been a bit since I have posted any updates. Ended up having a mishap with a broken Ebrake cable and had to put a new new hood on the mini and repair the M7 grill. We ending up going rally stripless this time. Also swapped out the taillights for a set of union jack units. We have put about 3k on the car and its running great. The cam isn't exactly a fan of sitting in traffic but when you open it up its a blast. We also have a few other projects we have been working on.

Just skimmed through your whole thread... You've done a ton of work. Love the wheels... but wow are they a tight fit.
I want to pick your brain on the Fortune coilovers and your track days. I have the same (FA 500 coilovers with 6K Swift F & R) and I'm working out my rebound adj and swaybars.
What size sway bars front and rear?
What settings on rebound augments have you made for street and track?
Are you running a different wheel/tire setup for the track?
Thanks in advance.

 

I am running an Alta 22m Rear sway bar but do have a front one not on the car currently.
The 1st few times I haven't messed with rebound have it set in the middle and I am almost afraid to mess with it as the car feels really good to me. I do raise the car an inch when running the Konigs as they will rub the wheel archs under a super heavy load. I have a set of 15s I need to get tires for and I am hoping to keep the same ride height.

 

We submitting the Cooper to Gears TV What are you Working On a few months back. It was picked and now in the running for build of the year. Please take a few minutes and vote for the kids Mini.

good luck Sirs. I went to the page but did not see the mini

 

I guess we have similar taste. My “project” cars are a 95 Miata, 05 r53, 2010 Jku, and then we differ on my 04 350z. Good choices and the jeep and mini are for my 15yr old girl and 12 yr old boy.

 

We fitted a DIY intercooler sprayer... Scangage confirms it actually works dropping intake temps
