hi all, heres a couple of videos of my mini at the mini showdown last weekend 11/07/2010

[sir Jake the brit]

what did you run???

[oltonlad]

what did you run???

the car ran a 16.9.......it hasnt been rollered since the engine was built so i'm expecting better than that to be honest

[mini93]

what spec you got on the engine? tyres and diff ratio included?

the engine is a morspeed 1340, morspeed stg3 head, morspeed mspd p3 trackday cam, lightened and balanced, centre main strap, HIF44 carb, straight cut drops, 3:44 diff, i was running 165/60x12 yoko A539's on that day, the car had 6 runs.............and 16.9 was the best that it would acheive that day.....i was a little bit disappointed really.

doesnt sound like a bad spec, i would too have thought a bit better that would be expected, though the diffs a tad tall for drag racing really, sounds like a comfortable back roader though.
what sort of power you got from it? i know you said you didnt have it rollered before tho

my best run on the sunday was 15.97 was running 008 tyres (which is a tad hard and not sticky enough) turns out i was also 50 psi down on 1 cylinder so shalnt be as powerful as id have hoped next year shall be back...giving it a miss for MITP as the cars a tad poorly

julian at morspeed said that it should produce at least 85 bhp on a single 1 3/4 carb........obviously more on twin HS4's or a dcoe......i may go down the dcoe route, i know the 3:44 diff is a bit tall....but i use the car everyday and use it on dual carriageways on the way to work.........and i dont want it screaming its nuts off at 60 mph....

what spec is yours then, that wasnt a bad time at all.......i wouls love to get into the 15 s bracket

[mini93]

i was getting right rubbish times at 1st with tyres still pumped upto 30 odd forgot to take em down and didnt have a pressure gauge so i did the whole 1 second 2 seconds etc of air on both sides lol

looking at your avitar now i think i remember your car actualy...kept thinking...am i faster than that car in my class...ohhh

my specs 73mm pistons on standard stroke giving displacement of around 1360, heads ported but standard size valves 286 scatter cam, balanced crank and rotating assembly only, webber 40, ultralight flywheel and back plate, paddle clutch, SC drops JKD dogbox with a 3.66 diff with of course twin pin diff.
and about 1000000Kg's of weld in rollcage

ive seen ur car at a couple of the shows, it does sound the nuts with the box etc..........i will get mine into the 15's....eventually.....

[mini93]

the sound i think is the main love of the car the box, the webber and the exhaust all full of win in my oppinion.

oh and its also running on an unmapped megajolt so sure theres a good chunk of time to come off when everything goes according to plan.

did you lower the pressure in the tyres, i found the A539's are quite reasonable and i feel a tad softer than my 008's and bonus being im guessing the rolling radius dispite being 12's or 13's arent much different than my 10's

do you have a full break down of your times? 60fts play alot in the times my 1st run i was sat on the line spinning my tyres for what felt like years 60ft of over 3 seconds, my best of the weekend being 2.5 so still room for improvment even with an open diff
