I was talking with my modder and he sent me some pics of one of the completed minis i will be getting. Here are the Pics. Note: I will have a different color, but these are the only pics he could send me.














The final specs of the car are:

250 whp (300 at the crank) Twincharged
CAI
Borla Sport Exhaust
Lowered suspension (1")
17" BBS Rims
Brembo Sport brakes
Sparco Seats (See images) w/ 5pt harness
Factory LSD
Factory DSC
Factory Aero Kit
Color: Dark Silver w/ Black Roof / Mirrors (that is the only difference between the car in the pics and the one im getting)

Thats all i can think of now.... Im soo excited

Wow that is one RED MINI!

I have a Sparco and love it, but I don't have the constitution for a 5pt harness on a daily driver! You're a better man than I!

By the way, that's lowered a lot lower than 1" - more like 1.6 like mine. I think..... I'm not totally positive, but look how low the rear wheel arch is - wow. I hope they put camber links on there or you'll be all understeer. Not a big deal, it's just a $200 or so mod.


That thing kicks ***

Thanks

I was told they will do a 1" drop. The thing is, every driver gets the car done exactly the way they want it. This buyer might have wanted it droped lower.

You'll definately have one of the fastest rides on here - congrats

Now it's time for a trackday to see what it can do! When do you get it? Trojan Motorsports is doing an event at Streets of Willow on the 21st/22nd if you're game

Lol. Not that soon I will definatley be doing events as soon as its off of break in.

The car will take 2-4 months to build once orered. Definatley worth it though

I plan to order it in the next few months, but i need to sve up a wopping $10,000 down payment before they even start building it.

I asked this question here before, but i didnt get much of an answer. Should i go with the roll cage on this? Or should i get a lighter duty roll cage and keep my rear seats?
