Running carbed R1 engine with approx 165bhp.

Best 1/4 mile was 12.9 secs but i had no windows and a bulkhead all the way up so acting a bit like a parachute. I think 12.5 secs should be possible.

Cheers

sounds good to me

has anyone on here tried the r1 FWD kit ?

[R1mini]

The first kit R1 fwd from promotive only went out on 26/05/07 according to the website, the prototype for the car the yellow mini has featured in a minifilms DVD, I know it's been to Castle Combe, but I've never seen it at the Mini Showdown for instance doing standing quarters, I know R1minimagic 0-60 time was 4.5 and the R1 fwd mini was 6 on the minifilms DVD so I think it would be reasonable to add 1.5 to 12.5 and come up with low 14s, high 13s as a guesstimate

Cheers
