haha that'll be the fumes inside the car and the lack of ear plugs! need to sort out the blowing exhaust...

That might not of helped on the times.

What the ear plugs? But they'd be a 2g penalty surely?

Ah I see you've changed your name!! It was begining to get confusing..lol

TBH I haven't noticed tooooo much difference after taking most things out of my interior. I swear the centre console makes loads of diffference to deadening the gearbox noise!

Its amazing how much difference it makes to the sound of the turbo.

I can confirm that Rob is a fraile streak off p155 that I am constantly worried might disappear in a mild breeze.

Really worring thing is together we make two average adults .... :(

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

^^^ haha lol and it sounds good with all the weightsaving but are you chopping anything out the interior with a grinder or just taking out the bolt in bits?

OK a bit of an update on my thread from last year where i was trying to lose some weight of the car for MITP.

a few people saw the car last weekend at the riviera run but for those that didnt i have been out and taken some photos of what the car looks like now.












i'd just like to say a massive thank you to Nic for all his time, effort and expertise in getting the mini back all one colour and looking the best it ever has done. you helped me out no end and i hope the pic of matty's sister goes some way to saying thanks! (haha sorry matt! )

other than the paint work the only other mods since the last update is the loss of the heater (4kg without the additional water loss) and a little jap alternator from matt (2.5kg instead of the 4kg of the original).
next plans before avon park are to change the intercooler to one that fits abit better and to lose the brake servo to save a few extra kgs.

Cheers mate! *cough*BAC*cough*...

Haha I see you chose Mr Gibb's house as a back ground!

very nice ian

Back once again like a renegade master

top looking car ian, was getting loads of attention at the riv run. Given me something to aim for for next year.

Have you tried putting a bit more boost through it yet?

thanks for the comments guys!
yeah i tried putting abit more boost through it yesterday and the clutch started slipping... grrrrr
ive also got an oil leak that looks suspiciously like it may be coming from the crank seal so that would explain the slippage.
oh well, have got a couple of months before avon to sort it

Whats the engine specs if you dont mind me asking? really like this car :)
