yup, probably would be for the best in the long run.

By the way, what size wheels are you running with your miglias?

nice one

the road ones and my track ones are 13"x7j

another idea would to be to go onto the easytrack website and find out when there are novice trackdays on. if you've never done one before it is highly recommended that you do a novice one first to gain experience and track day etiquette.

couple of pic of how mine is....being resprayed soon

[SwannyUK]

That looks awesome mate

[*DJH*]

yeah that looks good, can't wait to get mine resprayed too

[SwannyUK]

ooo, are you going for a different colour or keeping it white?

Looks really good white

On a side note i fitted my bonnet pins yesterday (well, my dad mostly as i'm good with a computer but *rubbish* when it comes to cars)

Only got 2 as i wanted to keep the hinges and we managed to put them where your bottom 2 are

Normally you wouldnt be able to do it but we came up with a way of doing it that involves springs

I'll put a pic up sometime

both of thoose cars are lovely!
another thing you should look at is do you have the skills to set p car up for the venue your at? Because it takes alot of preperation before a team can get goodish consistent lap times, and its all about lapping the track, and making minor changes. Unless of course you know a mechanic involved in Mini Se7ens ? WHich always helps.

EDIT: I cant spell to tonight!

My dad's been a Mechanic since he joined the army so i've got that area covered.

I know a bit about car setup from my sim racing days on GTL/GTR2.

Not sure what sort of things you would be looking to tweak on a mini though. Can't be a lot on a basic track day car

i've got that book, it's alright but a quater of the book is a load of waffle about his career, wedding, losing races, personal life it's not very 'gritty' with tech stuff, basically an outline book.
