We know it’s been a long long time since we last updated the build but here we go:

We are now almost finished with what we called "Fase 1" which is our first episode of this project. The car is totally assembled and fully working as showed in the videos and photos. During the next couple week we will dismantle it totally and prepare all the bits for it’s final painting. It’s a shame we have to paint it because there is so much stuff we are planning to modify during "Fase 2" next academic year, but there is going to be a big event during the first weeks of March in Madrid and university wants the car shiny as they’re going to be used as an advertisement.

During this Christmas brake we’ve been working quite hard on the mini as we didn´t had the time required during the semester. Some of the jobs where: separating panel between engine and cockpit, bucket subframes, cooling system connections (they kept blowing off), exhaust fitting, fuel tank and internal pump, throttle adaptor, flip front, wheel arches, switch panel, any many others.

More detailed pictures will follow soon but to give you an idea of the process:

It looks like you are driving with positive camber at the front?

Thank you for the comments. The geometry is still not adjusted and we have only rdriven it around the parking. We were planing on setting it as Z-cars do with:

front half a degree negative camber each side
toe 1 mm each side
caster 3.5 degrees
rear 1.5 degrees negative camber
1.5 mm toe in each side


Any comments on this would be welcome. Once tested on the track we will play around the different parameters but for a start up we though this would be best.

Thank you all,

Not only they look nice, they were also supreme quality and easy to fit. Thanks a lot Tony! We are always open for some conversations if there is anything going on in Spain.

The Mini will appear on an TV advert this weekend during the F1 in Spain. We will update the spot once released.

Cheers

Because it´s been a long long time since we last updated the forum here are the news.

- we painted the Mini at University in a rush as we had our first event at Jarama track in Madrid. All the paintwork was done in one day:













More pictures of the finished look at the track an in other events will follow. Now we are planning on new modifications for next year. Might be a couple surprises

Wow! Liking that a lot. Very creative and very cool.

Thank you for the comment

Here are some more pictures of the Mini, we hope you like them. We are currently planning some further modifications and events for the next academic year aswell as trying to find any sponsors that could help us on the financial side.

This was an idea that was later changed:



The process was a bit messy, but worth it



At the track we broke the chain tensioner in the morning and were able to replace it temporary by rigid piece of steel to continue the testing. Also the rear high of the car was wrong calculated and the tyres did slightly catch on the arches, so these were taken off. Now it´s been set up correctly.











Our team members:



Some more student helped us on this event which we are very thankful:



We will try to post some more pics of another event soon

wow nice build, the mini looks pretty beasty

[proyecton10]

Thanks

We are now on vacation and these are some pictures of our last event. We will be on the track on the 9th of October again and hopefully a few modification will be done before that. We will keep you updated.













This last one is the shows how it works in Spain: one person works, the rest only watching!


See you

Hello, here is a quick update:

We are undergoing a full rebuild and some changes are being done on the car. So far we have strip the entire car, re-done the wiring taken off the alarm and some other useless bits, new dash will be done, repositioned the fuel tank and radiator, rear diffuser almost finished, rear wing is still on cad, bodywork this week, and lots more...

Hopefully the car will be finished by Christmas. Here are some pics that should speak by them selves
