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

indeed shifting is ancient technology - so is a fuel burning engine.. I happen to like both :)

It was feeling left out 
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 
Enmanuel:
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.
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

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 
So 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 
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?

Hi pride - I have one, but it's really pixelated. Took it with my camera phone when it was dark 
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

I have some room here Mike... I'll even pay for the shipping!
Thanks Joe, you are very kind. You'd be driving on the wrong side of the car though
LOL !!!!

If I do Enmanuel, it gives me an excuse to put in a stroker engine
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
Need to finish up the wiring now.
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 
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)
.
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
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!
