Love that your getting some (albeit brief) shots of the tech and not just the racing. 👍

Mini is one of the coolest cars ever and this unit is fantastic.Really like it's look with old-school approach and beautiful shade of black really gives this Mini character.Some driving as well and it's always great when you see onboard that has foot camera included.That way you see driver at work and that's something i very much appreciate.

Well said! Totally agreed, it's cool to see the driver working hard to push this little pocket rocket as fast as he can to the finish line. And the engine swap is ice on the cake in this car.

Thank you very much, we always have a great time at Shelsley Walsh with the Retro Rides and Hillclimb Monsters teams. They always put on a fantastic event. Glad you liked the pedal camera setup. We have a great history in the car, it’s almost like a glove each time I get in it.

Sounds like a 90s BTCC car inside, amazing car, great ballsy driving!

Mini black monster. It looks like a great drive. Im green with envy.

Love Shelshley Walsh. Oldest race track in the world with continuous use. 👏🏻👍🏻

Have a feeling if I remember the overalls were available in Germany and Poland and she had them shipped into the uk as the last available pair in size 52. Kind of has come round in a way as I’ve got a bright yellow single seater with a Suzuki GSXR 1000 engine in the back.

Which AT power kit did you use for the throttle bodies or were they custom?

Hi sorry for the slow reply, the bodies were custom at the time for the engine when the stage 3 was built in 2010, AT now do a set of specific bodies for the the head.

My dream car is a lightweight one with a bike engine swap but maybe just a head swap is the better option?

@toe-b203

The head swap will let you get more power out of the A series engine. But if you wanna do a bike swap, I've seen those things scoot.

Thanks, it’s been a fantastic little engine and car. It’s so much fun to drive it hard. We are making a couple of changes for this year with the mini. The JKD involute dog box will be getting a refresh and we will be dropping the final drive down from 3.9 back down to 4.5, we are hoping to rebuild the Genesis 16v engine which was built in 2010 a short stroker. That engine was making 175bhp and was a bit more highly strung.

How does the gearbox take it ?

@reallybigkidd

The gearbox is a Jack Knight straight cut geared racing dog toothed gearbox that was originally in a rally car. Was built to take a hammering.

@reallybigkidd

It’s heading around the 300bhp per tonne, the car itself is about 600kgs, we know that there is more weight that could come out of the car as we retain, steel wings, full subframes, steel roof and steel boot floor but if we did swap any parts out it would move us into a different class.

That thing is gnarly EDIT: First. I guess

gothic pagan you are right crossing and carousel are flat and that car has been flat through both unfortunately I had tried kennel flat earlier in the day and resulted in clipping the recticel on the outside and ended up off the ground and sideways and after pushing my luck once I didn’t fancy chancing it twice, we don’t normally come up to Shelsley to compete as it’s not in our area. We only make it once a year for retro rides event.

reallybigkidd Thanks for replying. Not a great venue for small engine cars. Do you know what the speed was at bottom esses? Or was nothing timed

@reallybigkidd

4 жыл бұрын

gothic pagan nothing was timed for insurance purposes but going off the go pro footage I was timing 35s with the lifts, I did the mini festival a week later and the go pro timings were down around the 33s, held it in third flat through crossing and carousel and was banging the limiter in 3rd before entering bottom ess so looking at 85 ish again not timed and no speed traps. It’s not that it doesn’t suit the car, I love visiting Shelsley but unfortunately competition entry fees are what have put me off from there £183 for like 5 runs where as we get 8 runs around £150 down our way.

Gearbox sounds rather fucked..

@reallybigkidd

3 жыл бұрын

Gearbox is all good, it’s a straight cut Jack Knight racing involute dog box so it does sound quite crunchy. Originally in a rally car the box had a rebuild over the last couple of years but it is a classic box that was originally designed for the early A series remote box 1960s-1970s. The later Rod boxes are a bit better but whilst this box is crunchy it feels less brutal than the modern ones.

4wd it's better, fwd for thet car no good 🤔🤔 try aghen !!!
