My wishful thinking~

I've been in motorsports too long. I don't say that I wasted my 10 years in life racing, but I could of made better position in life doing something else.

No...I do admire people racing still. I was just not into 100% before getting sponsors at end of my race career.

Having FIA Int'l C license is no use here in USA, since its run by different sanction body. Some may allow, but it will be costly professional region.

Heres some of my ideas or wishes, if any vendor can come out with my wishes.

When I race touring cars, I couldn't add this feature due to regulation.

1) In-board adjustable sway bars: The rear sway bar looks as if it can be done using certain oil pressure regulating adjustable lever to make changes while driving or set different setting to under or oversteer.

White Power Suspension use to sell such item to Benetton F1, DTM, BTCC, but they are more into motorcycle now. Due to their name seems racist, they changed to WP Suspension in UK. Yeah...I bought my suspension from them cost $12,000 10 years ago.

2) They are many strut brace bars and under strut brace bars from anywehre and everywhere. Just recently found this company already selling it for Mini in Japan. Amazingly they put engine damper like strut in between under strut brace bar.....very slim type for front and rear.

Is Alta Performance a major Mini scene in USA? Make something like this. I have to check Yen vs Dollar, but it cost like $1,000 for front and rear suspension understrut in Japan. If Alta consider this to develop, just give me an gauge holder you have....hehe

3) Aragosta Suspension company owner is my long last friend. I may want to distribute their product here in the future for Mini....just little pricy though.

Alternative, I can customize order from same company manufacturing suspensions for DG-5. Famous dori king (drift king) owns this brand in Japan.
Current exclusive importer sells for $2,500 per kit including 30 increment adjustable compression and rebound (no separate rebound adjustment), coil springs and leaf springs by Swift springs Japan, height adjustable, adj. front aluminum upper piro ball mount, and fixed rear upper aluminum mounts.

I think they are www.dg-5.co.jp

Truth..................I don't have any of those product made under my company, but I like to see those things come to alive to meet new owners.

I might of been inventor and also have some idea, but cost of patent cost too much in USA.

I don't really like posting things in the forum, since I saw things coming. At NAM, I think peeps are more civilize.........I like it here.
