Whoo Hoo more RMW power & wins in the real world not on a bench or Dyno.

Congrats

 

imagine the midlands box with that power ...zero to BANG is 2 seconds!

 

Way to go!!!

 

Congrats! at least one rally Mini is winning!

 

I'm guessing Rally America has much looser rules than you have to live with Chris. It is nice to see MINI's in competition & winning. Keep plugging along Chris you'll be there too.

 

Question, does the roof scoop just add air to the cabin or help with the

motor?

 

I've been in contact with the owner for some time. It was quite interesting that the builder of the Mini (not the owner ) used to email for advice. LOL like I knew what I was doing! The spec of this mini has been changing as things broke along the way. Hotbits was the first suspesion choice which soon broke after some of those big jumps. Now the set up reiger suspension which still needs regular rebuilds. Box is a 6 speed with a quaife low final drive gear set which also need the odd rebuild. The coolest part (as Jan says) is the engine. Around 200BHP NA which is very nice. Now after all that development this Mini is getting the results it deserves.

Unfortunately none of the above is allowed in CR.....like I could a afford it..LOL

 

The hood scoop keeps the dust out by cabin pressure
