the power steering works well, especially being adjustable. Because its electric rather than hydraulicly belt driven it come son with the ignition meaning pushing it about on the drive is too easy.

no not all, at night the blue led toggle switches shine up and reflect off of the overhead rollcage, but thats more cool than inconvinient.

wow, saw this car last year but couldnt talk to you because a que was already formed!
the amount of ideas id like to steal from your build is epic, but i'd feel bad using them on my car and making yours that tiny bit less original.
congradulations to everyone invoved in this build it truely is amazing

Simply amazing,I love the bonet mod and the interior has the bare bone's look but also look's posh at the same time if that make's sense...lol.

Easily one of the best looking mini's ive seen,if not the best :)

Have you had it on the rolling road? What's your 0-60 time?

:)

Yep when we had it set up at TracknRoad it made 220Bhp on the dyno

The seats came from jkcomposites but are usually just fibreglass rather than carbon
