Hi all, even though my car is nearly finished i thought i would share my journey over the last couple of years with a few pictures that i have taken through out the build, so where do i start, well i bought a zcar off a chap who lived up the road from me and it was in a bit of a sorry state so i decided to tart it up on a bit of a budget till the inner memories of owning a mini and racing around as a teenager came flooding back and then got carried away,very carried away! which is probably an underatatement. Ive always been facinated with the little rust buckets so here we go current engine spec is as follows.........

zcars race spec type r frame and front frame
k20 engine completely race prepared close decked, steel pistons,rods,race bottom end,race head.
rotrex supercharger
pwr charge cooler
ceramic clutch
gripper diff
custom final drive giving all use of gears
dta ecu

just been dyno'd and produced 400whp

right so how do i post a picture?

Flaming Norah! Are you popping going rather fast down the road to Castle Combe this weekend by any chance? It would be awesome to check your car out and see some action. >_<

NB You might want to use Photobucket to host all your pics so you don't use up your tmf allocation. I think that's what I mean :dontgetit:

Well what can i say had an amazing day at castle combe managed to give the car a reasonable shake down, engine was un real but the cars current setup was not right for the amount of power it had,she was a bit sloppy round the bends so had to take it a bit easy!, so a bit of suspention tweaking should sort that bit out! the car to look at was very impressive so much so that it won Miniworld best car 2009 so all in all very pleased.

pics coming soon.
