    Craftsmanship, and design are awesome. Takes a real artist to visualize something like this, and then to make it happen.

    Quite amazing Jan. You said you plan on making this a product?!? MINI by name, steering rack, engine, and body shape only. :)

    Just curious as to where the design for the suspension kinematics came from. Was it borrowed from another setup or were they all done from scratch?


    2 longevity questions; why no inconel for exhaust manifold studs, and how are you structurally supporting the turbo? The thin-wall won't hold it for long at full EGT.

    yes, the plan is to make turn key race cars
    some will have the stock trans and this is the upgraded version
    dog gears are being made for stock trans for those that want flat foot shifting

    suspension is all from scratch.........

    ARP said for this application the studs supplied will do the trick
    the manifold is supported. It's just not on there yet:devil:
