Jim,

I did not see that before, but fact is that we have been discussing the same basic setup for quite a while. Once that car is reassembled we will then see if in fact it will work. Sometimes when you do stuff like that it can be a disaster. In fact that picture looks kinda scary to me ...

 

Who made the front tubular lower control arms?

 

M7

 

Hope the welds hold .

The arms will be fine with the bushings Greg made.

 

Good to hear .

I found this pic on toddtce's thread of TCE/Wilwood pics...

can't wait to see Greg doing this again!

 

Greg got his share of kudos for this driving, and rightfully so... but I always thought he had one of the best-looking MINI's out there! Can't wait to see what color scheme he chose for the transformation...

 

I agree with both statements Tony, his car looks awesome in that pic.
I know there will be an M7 decal on just about every side of the car, but don't know the color yet. I'll be sneaking up there soon to get some spy pics, as Greg has mentioned the car is on the ground now.

 

Bright Colors please ... We want some attention on track .heheeeeeee

 

Yep, car is on the ground, finally! Everthing is looking good and moving along well.

 

Phil, links don't work for me. Might just be that my laptop is failing me these days.

 

They work for me?, just wait a few minutes for them to load and start the viewer

They are some of the Laguna Seca Vids

 

Ya know, this is also one of my favorite pics. Cool because I'm moving along at about 100 mph coming around the downhill at LRP. Guy did a great job with that pic.

 

That's why I posted it, because it's an awesome pic. The car looks bad ***.

 

Nice to see good progress, onasled! If you are going to do a test day in the spring, let me know, I can come up and turn wrenches, etc. Just give me about a weeks' notice to change a day off.

 

Thanks peter. I'll let you know when and where.

 

Figured I'd post a pic of me with the car taken a week or so ago.

 

Greg, if I'm not mistaken, both the car and YOU have lost some weight! Yes?

 

Yea Tony, about 30lbs for me. I'm loosing the weight as I will be needing the room to polish off that case of Canadian beer I'll be getting this spring ..

 

You are doing us all very proud.... unbelievable

 

30 lbs! Yowsers, that's a fun way to add performance to your car. Congrats!

mb

 

Yeah, right! That case of beer will be on the way, don't worry. Just finish it first.

Where I come from, men gain weight when they build a car. It's called the "pizza-factor". But when men lose weight it's called "the woman-factor"....
