Would you mind posting smaller versions of those? There are still quite a few members that are on slower connections.

Thanks!

Sweet setup for the guages!

Where did you get the boost guage? I have been wrestling with where to put one since I have the chrono pack thus putting my speedo with the tach like you have with your NAV setup.

That guage looks much nicer than some of the others out there I have seen.

Any helpfull links would be great. Also how was the install over the a/c vent? I usually keep that one off so losing it is no big deal to me.

You'd think they would be able to afford a clear bra, wouldn't you?!

Then again, a clear bra doesn't make your car any faster, so the money is probably better spent elsewhere.

What I'd *really* like to know is what happened to your center caps dude! I've got the same wheels, granted they came with cheesy plastic center caps......

Nice ride.

I like your boost gauge!

Cheesy plastic center caps are usually not allowed on the track. Too easy for one to fly off and become a dangerous projectile. . . .

(Run the movie demo on the site-it's fun!)
BF series Amber gauges

Looks great. Add another on the center dash. Blow the AC down to the feet.
Heck, this is a track MINI, you don't need AC.

Something others may not have noticed on the MINI: The wheel arches are painted gloss black... very nice touch! Most paint them to match the color of the car, but I like yours - wish the factory would start doing that. Also noticed your aero grill is painted to match the car's color, but on the edges only... cool.

Awesome MINI! The custom paint all looks great

What's that blue car in the picture with the 360 GT? The one with the black wheels?

Is that an Ultima? Do you have any more pics?

And how did the Ram SRT-10 do?

I see a RED car with 360GT on it - I'd say a Ferrari Modena or a Challenge Stradale. . .looks like fun, either way!

Hahaha no not that one- that's a 360 GT - the full racing spec 360 they use at Le Mans against Porsches. That's a sweet car, and probably one of the hottest thing on 4 wheels.

I was asking about the blue one on the right side of the pic... It's facing away from the camera next to the white trailer.

Ya That is a Ultima
I know the guy that has the ferarri 360 race car in that pic the guy in the 360 got passed on the track by the Ultima and sold his ferarri to get a Ultima and and asked me and my dad to go up and look over the car to see if the car was built good and he got there and could not get into the Ultima so he did not get it we just got back today from looking over the car

Hey nice to see those guys running!
You can catch me up there on various dates, practicing and dialing in my other cars.

That track is one of the best tracks in this area.
