Yes JamesL, on my R53 the day is the Quaife and the night is an open diff.

Kind regards,

Charlie

 

Well, since this is the only hot spot to talk autocross for now...I ran my 09 JCW mini in C stock this weekend, my first event of the year here in Reno. I moved from a well prepped BSP STI. Overall, I am very pleased with the car, with some tire pressure tweaks, I was able to get decent rotation and ran very competitively.

I won CS against some RX8's, 350s and MX5s and finished 2nd in Pax overall for the day (losing by .044 pax time). Anyway, learning to drive this car has been fun, looking forward to progressing further...

 

Congrats. Are you running the standard ediff? I ran mine today in STX. I was 12th PAX of 74 in a local event.

Yep, totally stock with dsc off. Let me ask you...are you running an aftermarket front swaybar?

Also, that course looked fun, nice venue

 

Yes. I am running the front bar from a MINI diesel from Europe. My son had a friend ship it from London.

That was our first event at this location. It is large with great asphalt. It is the Meadow Event Park in Doswell, VA.

 

BRAVO!

Cheers,

Charlie

 

Info on this bar? What is the overall diameter? Hollow/solid?

I just stepped down to the base cooper front sway, ~21.5mm, in an attempt to curtail some inside wheel spin.
