mmm... interesting...

Thanks lads been thinking of doing it for a long time I had just finished puting in a flat boot floor only to cut it up and do this :).

ho and Not a twinne
or 4WD
but should corner like a bitch I hope. The wheel base is about 5 inch longer and I am able to now run the car just under 4 inch of the ground which should be intresting for this years racing I hope.

Paul you truely are a legend ha ha ha good work mate!

Ho an I can now run any standard four pot all caliper, KAD alloy hubs, 7 inch disks and the sub-frame in is new form with standard disks hubs and calipers is about 30% lighter than a standard rear sub-frame so with the right alloy components it should be easy to get it to 60% lighter :) someone needed to give it a go.

nice plan, you will need to make a special short hi-lo key todo the corner weights

Team Racing

Ya Jim I have used some standard M10 bolts in the Pic to hold the tower in place for mock up, but in the final setup I will have a custome Tower bolt with the Standard hole trough the centre I have a set of ripspeed hi-lo's with the alen adjustment bit in them so should be a doddle to adjust the corner weights all around rather than having to have the car on a 4 post ramp. I have always made my own Keys anyway so should be a big problam I have also cut a small slot in the twoer to alow be get a spanner on the locking nut.

Doesn't the top arm foul the inner arch?

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

It sure DID Will so now ther is a new inner arch what I find cool was the shock now lines up with the orignal shock mount :)

uhmmm. i need pics of the underneath. looks like an interesting idea.

How are you locking the steering bit of the hubs?

I imagine hes using the trackrod end and a bar fixed to the subframe.

This would give him toe in toe out adjustability!

yup thats it mike a simple turn buckle type adjuster giving very fast simple Toe adjustment and with an adjustable botom arm giving me very simple camber ajustment. James more pic to follow when that is the photo box comes back from being taped back together

and a camber gain on the back in cornering mode, and discs.
ooof!!
nice job paul ,well done .

Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM

is that the standard subframe width Paul?

Thanks Robert,

I keep thinking Im missing somthing it seems so right and tbh not all that hard to fit so far I have spent about 5 hours on it and 3 of that was cuting down a sub-frame It all fits so well into the back. there is a bit of engineering to get it right but not beyond anyone with a bit of welding skill and a front subbe

yup 8-)

Why has no-one asked the most important question yet???

Will it have an engine capable of doing wheelies???


Id love a car that will do wheelies, I will have one before I die. It almost makes me wish that I got into beetles instead
