Prawny Baby Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 hey guys! long time no posting for me.... as always, ive been rather busy with everything going on getting ready to go away to uni.... i did however find time to do a little work on the mini.... then go and thrash it to see what its all about! its not sporting a facet redtop electronic fuel pump, along with few other electrical goodies such as a kenlowe fan, and the nicest bit of all, ive fitted my front cage! so ive now got a full FIA 6pt cage with door bars as well! took the beast up to castle combe for a track day on saturday, and it was geninely the most incredible thing ive ever done! the rush of driving on a track again 5 years after i stopped racing, was incredible! nobody is going to want to see the whole 12mins of incar footage from one of my sessions, but one bit i think is great to watch is this tiny clip! comming along the main straight (well-least bit of curved road!) at around 105mph at the top of the hill, braked down to 90 for quarry, when the back end let go! as you can see it got pretty close :P i thought i was in for a spin for sure.... anyway.... just wanted to post this clip as i think its awesome to watch! enjoy!http://www33.megaupload.com/files/47913701...c1/ohps.....wmv if that link doesnt work, try this page http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SIC4NMB6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prawny Baby Posted September 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 tic ur a miserable git :P -but yes, all the hard work and effort is REALLY paying off now cheers lads, it was an awesome day to say the least.... i couldnt believe how well the car did.... considering the things that turn up to trackdays, i got overtaken once during my two sessions, and overtook a total of 14 cars in the 12 laps i did.... so the mini aint too slow.... showing up a few of the national championship (extreme mighty minis) race cars was certainly a highlight! best thing of all though, was definately overtaking a new Cooper S works and leaving it for dead! after that theres a whole new round of engine mods to be done, so after christmas i can see my student loan taking a fair dent! being on dialup theres no danger of the longer vid just now.... but i start uni on monday! so ill stick it up then when i finally get my own broadband for the first time ever! byeeeeeeeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Well held there Mr. Nick :) Almost as dramatic as my Dad's save in his Mitsubishi pick-up, coming out of a roundabout at about 40 or so, back end hit a patch of standing water and started coming round. Lots of other traffic around, could've been sketch, but he got it back. Full vid should be cool :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Tupman Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 LMFAO :) Nick you looked so scared! still not as great as my car though is it, although I must say it does sound very sexual in the seconde vid :) I'm saving up £3000 for a sequentioal now! oh and i've got the Monaco's they are so comfy!

fairy elephants Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 When i first looked at the first clip, i thought it looked alright, but then i remembered its a mini, and therefore front wheel drive, and therefore shouldnt be doing that :) Good effort keeping it on the track :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butcha87 Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 That's awesome!Can't beleive no swear words were uttered! :) Another vote for the 12 minute vid! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011001000110010101110010 Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 (edited) Nick, nice car control :) Did you get overtaken by the 2.0 L V-tec mini by any chance? I have a friend who went and span on that corner, small dent to the back right pannel. In fact you can see his car in the que on the right, the blue clumbman :) Im up for the 12 min video to :( Edited September 27, 2005 by derf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted September 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 cheers for all the comments lads! tuppers.... stop being a fool! whats the point in a sequential box? first you need a car to stick it in.... and then, you need an engine worthy of turning such an almighty box.... ive got a 'plain' (if ever thats a word that can be used in this context) Jack Knight 4spd 4sync SCCR box, with jack knight drops, and a jack knight X-pin diff, and its beyond sexy! the noise, and performance is astounding! you simply cant beat it.... and lets face it.... you dont NEED a sequential box at all.... miglias dont use them.... a dog more than suits the needs of ANY racer, and unless its an all out racer, you dont NEED a dog box.... so the thought of putting an MBE sequential box in your body kitted metro is akin to fitting nitrous oxide injection to your mums toaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
