[Jammy]

Man that front end is sexy!!

Definitely think you should continue updating this project thread. This was one of my favourite projects on TMF and I can't be arsed going over to TM!

I don't think those bonnet pins are big enough!

Dribble!!

Most certainlt coming on!! Can't wait to see this done

[andywaller]

i will try and keep it updated, i was gonna wait till i had some major progress and put some pictures on.

dont worry jammy i havnt had a chance to cut them down, the intercoolers going right there so they will definately be going!

TM is a good website though, definately more technicaly minded, which is what im after.

Still wouldnt hurt to let us dribbling retards see what you're doing though would it Andy?

[mini93]

exelent!, would think the door cross over bars are quite high but should be good

rear section not in yet? it a pain?

[MINIMON]

god thats nice... i really want to get mine done now

[Jammy]

Ahhhh, the 'white tape is lighter than welds' school of roll cage making! Me like!

[andywaller]

lol jammy.

the tape really makes a big difference, not sure the MSA will approve of it though!

id say the door bars arent high enough! the higher the better IMO just take a look inside a miglia, ive seen one fitted with this exact cage and you can see the top of the tubes above the window line!

and im not too worried about getting in and out, im hardly gonna drive it down the shops. lol

you mean your not gona drive it every (reasonable) opertunity? i feel yourl miss out with that engine going in

i guess the bars just look high from that piccy, oh well i guess ill have to see it when its complete then

do you have any piccys of the cage fitted into a miglia mini?

[andywaller]

no i wouldnt have thought i will drive it that much on the road, to many dangerous drivers out there. if i crash it i want it to be my fault and be on a track where things are a bit safer.

i have got some pictures but they are in magazines, although i did see an ex miglia at brands last week with it fitted.

[mini93]

saw the cage tape fitted on turbo minis looks good

its true about road drivers, saying that now that im driving about the rally car people dont 1/2 gimme distance!!
if its not on the road what you going to be doign about running the engine in? because that main reason i put the rally car on the road

[andywaller]

i dont really belive in running in an engine, as soon as it running its going for a mapping session on the rollers and a power run.

maybe i should sticker up my everyday mini, people always cut me up and dont give me enough room!

mines not really stickered up, i have a company name on my boot and on the sun strip but you can hear my dogbox from far away, i drove through town today and aparently every single person looked! quite funny really
the raly cars been set up on the rollers, i think ill run it in for about 500 then get reset up and that will do, its just so tempting to let it go, i have to change gear when it comes on cam!
