oooh oooh ooh! Can't wait!

[danwebster]

Nor me hehe

[mini93]

what are the shiny bits??

[danwebster]

Check it out.....





265mm on alloy bells with tarox 6 pots....

I also got my rear disks through and realised they're bigger than my old front disks were.....I won't be short of stopping power.

[mini93]

ooh, niice and that will be one of the rear trailing arms then?

[danwebster]

Yep.....some of you may recognise them....

[R1minimagic]

Yes, you might have a tad too much stopping power on the back just like mine, hence the locking up problems on the minifilms dvd!!

I have now got the KAD bias pedal box fitted with KAD's recommended master cylinders for a rear engined car but i think i still have too much braking on the rear so i will have to move to the next size rear master. With the right braking i am hoping for at least 10 secs a lap off Castle Combe (1m 20-25s).

I think i must have lightened the car a bit too much (470kg)!!

What is your target final weight??

Z Cars rear trailing arm?

[danwebster]

Yeah I had too much rear brakes with the standard cylinders in the bias setup so i'm going for a bigger cylinder for the rear, probably 7/8's I think off the top of my head.

I can't really be too specific when predicting weight, if i'm under 600 kilos i'll be pretty happy as the car will be road legal. Trouble is there's as much cobblers spread about weight these days as there is about horsepower....these mythical 550kilo 150hp miglia's have a lot to answer for.

Z Cars rear trailing arm?

Yep

[R1minimagic]

The miglias may not be as quick in a straight line but they have had many years of experience in setting them up for track use so they are very quick around the track. If my car could lap as quickly as those i would be very happy!!!

[danwebster]

Yes its true they're a very well resolved package.

Keep at it with the setup and you should get there though, I expect to thats for sure.

I have been a passenger in a car with those 6 pots on and the braking was a Ferocious as the acceleration ... very good.

Great build....well re-build Dan!


Would love to build something similar but have just finished my racing Mini! Maybe next year......
