    Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

    Thanks Lars!

    More parts!

    My Devil's Own meth kit, powergrid front and rear adjustable end links and BC coilovers front and rear (I didn't bother taking the other two out the box). Cross suspension was on 6-8 week back order. I wasn't willing to wait - but these look awesome!

    Just waiting for my new alternator pulley and lightweight dampened crank pulley to arrive and she's off to the tuners again!

     Mike you have a serious substance abuse problem with this car. i believe at this point its phissicaly and mentaly impossible for you to stop.


    Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

    Mike's stable: where even his Mini keeps up with his Porsches and Ferraris. Keep up the good work!

    It was feeling left out Smiley Thanks Atz! I must be honest, I'm glad I'm almost finished - too much physical labour! Next time I'll send it to a shop Smiley

    I know Enmanuel, it's terrible! Now I understand why people modify their cars, it's extremely rewarding and enjoyable. However, it is very addictive Smiley

    Mike,

    Still waiting for the pictures of your new Beast

    By now, you should have received the Car and have done your first 2000 km

    Pride, as embarrassing as it is. I haven't - I don't have space SmileySo it's just sitting in the dealers basement. I hope to have a plan in the next month or two. I have had it detailed by the detailers in the meantime!

    Some after shots.

    PS. The above pics were taken by the detailer. I haven't gone to see the car yet since Smiley


    Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

    LP560-4 is such a gorgeous car. It is in a different world than first Gallardo, although most people think they are alike.

    Do you also have interior pictures??

    Actually I was referring to your beloved AM V12 by saying "BEAST"

    Have you delivered the Aston?

    Pride, it's a Superleggera, not a LP560-4.

    Mike, your continual revival of this thread reminds me that I should update my 135i build thread too!

    Hi pride - I have one, but it's really pixelated. Took it with my camera phone when it was dark Smiley I'll try get some better shots during the course of the week. I need to get two of the Murci's sensors replaced in anycase.

    I think this car is also quite the "BEAST" - the V12 is still in transit. Should be here very very soon Smiley

    Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

    My garage looks like a warzone! The interior is half stripped out as I am tending to the wiring of the water/methanol kit. I'm getting close!


    Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

    one of these days you're gonna blow something up. 


    Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

    If I do Enmanuel, it gives me an excuse to put in a stroker engine Smiley

    Just finished this perspex panel on which I mounted my meth controller and on/off switch for the meth. Looks quite good, quite pride of my DIY work Smiley

    Need to finish up the wiring now.


    Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

    Why dont you build an M5 V10 into your lil Mini?

    Great DIY, is that button easy enough to reach? I mean, think about the phenomenal acceleration pressing you into the seat.... you will hardly be able to touch that buttons down there 

    Looking forward to learn more about the change your mods are doing....

    LOL Lars, luckily I don't have enough space in the engine bay for that .... or who knows Smiley Smiley

    Had the coilovers installed yesterday, the ride is firmer - but the car feels far more solid now.

    New wheels and tires also fitted. I need to import new spacers and longer bolts. Those are being made in the UK right now and I should have them end of next week.

    What do you think? (Still need to take a photo of the new JCW carbon fibre interior parts)

    .


    Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

     those wheels look perfect on the car. i hadn't noticed the clear break lights, those look cool !


    Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

      oh em gee! the car looks amazing! Not really feeling the tail lights but other then that its looks amazing all round!  Are those OEM Mini Wheels? They flow very well with the car.


    Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

    Wheels are mint.  Very 997 GT3esque (gen1)...

    Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

    Mike S - I love this project. No hurry in the world, one item at the time. that way you know what the each change effects. Love it

     

    Btw how are you keeping up on the weight savings. I am sure you can find another 100kg of fat....in the car that is


    --
    Off enjoying my car...

    Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

    Thanks TEE.

    I'm not really trying to make this a hardcore track machine or I would have ripped out all the carpetting and seats a long time ago It's a hobbie (more like an addiction) for me!

    - - - -

    Latest update, my car is a meth addict!

    I still need to put in my new crank, supercharger and alternator pullies. The cam race cam is still not in yet as I am comtemplating in what manner I would like to get the car tuned.

    The new oil baffle, OEM gauge pod and red silicone radiator hoses are also here which I will take photo's of shortly!

     


    Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

    What a cool little system you have put in that trunk!

    Cant wait to hear how it performs!


    Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

    Thanks Lars! I'll make a video once everything is in. Only then do I think is it worthwhile

    A photo of the rest of the parts, there are still some arriving. More work...


    Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

    What the heck is this your clutch? This part looks like the one of the Porsche GT! Stunning piece!


    Re: My Mini's biography, new chapters to be added

    Hi Lars,

    That is my new light weight crank pulley! Haha, I must admit, it does look like a clutch from that angle
