I thought I 'd pop a couple of pics of the gold car up as its complete now after a good few months on axle stands! just need to corner weight it/ 4 wheel alignment and get it on the rollers next Friday, lots of reasons why I'm running later than usual this year but it's in one piece now.

major engine difference this year is running 38mm bore throttle bodies (K1200RS) and the large bore 4 branch.









cheers

Very nice.

Picked up my K1100rs engine the other day, all your fault for posting the 1293 dyno run on TMF :)

Have started a project thread over on TMF but I've found some very useful info on here re the conversion

My build guide from yourselves should hopefully be in the post somewhere

mini13- the 4:1 is sitting on my wall - I need to see what the 4:2:1 will do for torque on the race cams, the 4:1 produced the beans but the torque/power curve was sensitive to the tuned length of the primaries - went through a "resonance" every 1000rpm or so, you couldn't feel it but I'd like to get it smoother and higher! - so will see how the 4:2:1 handles the gas from the big boy!

- cheers Nic - yip if all goes to plan I'll be at Avon Friday night - with fully functioning coil packs!

lol! yes the gold theme is quite funny! the bodywork on the car has been like this for exactly 10 years now without any repaint- so its by no means mint - reasonably tidy but with a few battle scars! - if I had the time I'd do what Nic has with his red car and strip it back again and tidy/repaint, but I don't have the time and all it has to do at the end of the day is look good and go fast!

First mini turbo to get in the 12's & site perv

Herefordshire

im not keen on gold cars as a rule, but this car works! im a fan

Looking vary good, if a little sparse without that manifold

Whats that thing on your clutch? the linkage thing?? does it make the feel any lighter?

thanks guys - the colour choice is a taste thing - which probably means I have little! It's a 70's/80's shade of VW gold rather than the BL blends

Nic - the thing on the clutch is a direct action linkage from SH Engineering - the pedal efforts are similar to hydraulic but it is ultra reliable and will not "go off" like the hydraulic one used to (engine is solid mounted so the clutch pedal doesn't wander!)
