Greg, you have shared the most unique photos of the MINI by far! Please keep them coming...

I've heard from a bird that you have a pretty special package in transit. I'm guessing that you are anxiously awaiting for its arrival...

 

Okay, you're forgiven for not making it to Lime Rock last weekend.

 

I think you're, right snid

 

yes, yes, welcome to the Cosworth club! !

 

very nice progress...

how much tack welding was done to the unibody?

 

Non yet. Waiting till the roof panel goes back on and then my other buddy is coming over with his spot welder and we'll spend a day going over the whole car.

 

 

Totally!

Nice work Greg. I can't believe I missed this thread until now. I think I've been living under a rock.

You have to make brackets for a passenger seat and harness.

Then you can give rides to those that will pay for it. Ahem...

MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEEEEEEEE!

Onasled is my hero.

To date, the coolest MINI I have had the pleasure to slide my butt into was a race prepped MINI that George and his buddies at MINI Madness had whipped out (not his yellow mule). Sliding in between the bars of the full roll cage was, ummm, contorting?

This may beat it when it's done. He has it tuned to about 350 hp, but I have no idea of how well it runs at the track yet.

 

youre just getting started

hehehe:devil:

 

 

when you said you had gotten custom wheels...i assumed the would be kodiak. Those things look amazing

Any concrete weight numbers for them?

 

Onasled
How much are those wheels? Do they come in 18x8fr/18x9rr? I'm looking for new wheels myself to fit 245/35/18 for street and bling.

 

Not sure you really want to know....

Would 18" be a lot more? can you give me their web site. It acturally cost a little bit more than Jline wheels. Those are awesome too.

drooooool.....

 

Good luck with the project and be sure to keep us posted.

 

VERY nice Greg!

So... unless I missed it, what size rubber do you think you'll run on those 9's??? I believe you were running 225's before...

 

those are beautiful........wow

 

Nice LIP ...and sweet color/finish !!!!

 

Yea Tony, I was on 225 hoosiers and 235 RA1s.

 

16 lbs

 

Man, your MCS is going to stick like crazy!!!

My guess... and just a guess... if you run as you did before, it will stick too much in the rear end. Whatever camber, bar setting, and pressure you were running in the rear, i bet you will need to make some relative changes (less camber, more pressure, less bar) to get it to rotate... but it should be fun as heck finding those new limits!!!

When the time comes, we would love to see some videos of your experimentation.

 

Oh yeah!

And, when the time comes, I hope to see Greg's car as a blur when he passes me on the track. I'm not doing the club racing thing, but I'm guessing Greg will still be out there for some HPDE style days too. I finally got bumped up to his run group at NHIS the end of last summer (I think), but he'll probably get bumped up above me again. I guess I'll just have to be content watching him from a corner worker station.

 

I just remembered you having good experiences even with 205's (what I run)...

With your car having gotten so light, heck, you might find that 235's or less will be the ideal set-up. Anything more might just be more money, and more weight...

So, you got that Coz head... When do you plan to commence with the engine build-up?
