Well the Aldon 100AR full race dizzy has been fully overhauled and installed, so just got to plumb in the fuel lines to the carb, connect up the rad and oil cooler pipes and we are ready for the first start up - happy days!

This is looking like its too close to a race ready car, and to not be racing on sunday is sacriligous!

ref:std mini engine mounts c**p. Rubbish Lee 278 flipped car on roof just checked his std mini engine mounts, just the same as when i fitted them it's all down to how you brace the engine and gear box Very Happy

lol

I agree that bracing is certainly important but utilising solid engine mounts turns the engine into part of the car's structure rather than something suspended within it. I like this idea because it improves the torsional rigidity of the front end and offers handling benefits too geek

You will never no unless you get it on the track!! Practice day was your deadline, only a month ago!! Will this thing actually make it to the track? Im begining to doubt it! It was started before i built mine:!:

by Stu D Tue May 08, 2012 6:14 am

Is this F OOK ING heap ever gonna turn up on track? I think not where only 6weeks past your own aim, n a month from just needing to plumb n wire it up

As you all now know I have taken the plunge and decided to race in 2010 in "OAP minis". In order to achieve this dream????? I have bought Dan Davies old Ministox which I am going to build into a Senior mini for the 2010 season. This thread will be a record with pictures - yawn....... of my ongoing progress. If any of you guys suffer with insomnia then read this thread before bedtime - it'll be the perfect cure!!!!!!! ( over two years)
