I had to watch this video again. Because I think this is one of the best Mini’s yet. The only thing I would change………. Is the driver, from you to me.

Absolutely gorgeous!! I want one. Thanks

Mark what a beauty, this is a credit to you and all the hard work you put into your projects, need to do a video on your van would love to see it 👍

Thank you Tony! 🙂 I will be having a sort out this weekend as i need to move some of the cars around in the garage in preparation for the next winter project, so i will do a short video on the van before it gets put into hibernation.

Nice work! That is an impressive HP number!

Oh hell yes. Loved this video, thanks for sharing this! I also like that little third brake light. :-)

Great video, I've had the privilege of being a passenger in that car around castle combe (pre engine mods) and it was quick then, I hope to be able to go in the car again with the recent upgrades 👍

Hiya Mark-too technical for me mate, but Bolt looks amazing.Look forward to race day video. Hope you, keith and families are safe and well.

Lovely car. To be fair I really wanted to know, and see the adjustments made during the rolling road session....Ie seeing and noting each of the tweaks to the ignition timing map through each rpm increment, likewise for the fuelling.

You and me both, the filming was done by Mark and he's not really technical so wouldn't know what to include and the garage were very accommodating just letting Mark film let alone going into the detail. Maybe next time we do a rolling road session I can ask in advance if we can film some of the detail. Thanks for watching

Awesome vid thanks for uploading. Have you weighed the car?

Did you have to modify the body at all to get those tires fitted in there?

Yes, the front wings need cutting away

Keith, Mark It must be more than 116 HP @ the wheels as you have 136.7 HP total that would mean your losing 20.7 HP through the gearbox and diff that can‘t be right ? My 1310cc is 113HP @ 5828 rpm & 112.06 @ 4983 rpm. I‘m sure i would not be able to keep up with Bolt on the track but who knows one day we may get a chance to have a track day together and try each others minis out. Cheers Dave

That works out at approximately 15% transmission loss. I thought that was pretty standard? I'm sure Paul Jeffries will know more

Straight cut is around 15-18% loss, so tallies. As Bolt is short ratio, it would be on the lower end of the scale. Bloody brilliant result 😎👍🏽

you cut out the original roof and made it out of carbon fiber . I wonder about rigidity. How does the mini shell keep its stifness?. Is it fully seamwelded?

Hi, it's got a full roll cage fitted and you leave a good 3" lip around the whole roof so you have something to bond to

@@classicminiworkshop it's incredibly important that the average lads know torque IS multiplied by the drive train by orders , crank /flywheel rpm vs gear ratio advantage will always expose the torque multiplication.. for instance a civic type R has a 60 in 2 ratio a 30x ! torque advantage , in first gear they have upwards of 3500ftlb.. a series 1 defender has 114ftlb at crank and +4000 at wheels . Trying to find at wheel data is suspiciously difficult , big industry want us to un learn leverage 😂...👍🏻
