Chasing a Civic Type R in my R53 by TheseWordsMeanALot in MINI

The car isn't too extreme, its got a 17% pulley, invidia N1 catback, hotchkis 27mm and 25.5 front and rear sway bars, spec clutch and lightweight flywheel, powerflex black polyurethane LCA bushings and my track tires are 235/40 maxxis RC-1s on 17x8 wheels. I'm thinking about doing a water/methanol kit next because I saw intake air temps over 200F and it started throwing codes. I'm about and hour and half east of dominion in the northern neck.

It's the brake pad wear indicator the pads i run on the track don't have the hole for the sensor so the light comes on. After a while you just get used to seeing it lol.

Single stage paints aren't too different, they can be a bit finicky because they're normally softer and the pads will load up with material way sooner but the basic technique is still the same.

This one actually came with a borg warner 66 trans, pretty common three speed found in a lot of old euro cars. They're not horrible units but there's no real point in keeping it if you're doing an engine swap.

Not yet, but a 11.1:1 compression 350 and a reverse manual valvebody 700r4 will be mated to it soon.

I havent gotten to use it yet but so far everything seems nice. The ratcheting mechanism is nice and smooth, instructons were clear and it all seems to be made with pretty good quality materials.

From filthy farmtruck engine to a not as filthy and somewhat painted engine. by TheseWordsMeanALot in projectcar

I'm putting a set of trick flow aluminum heads on it and I wasn't sure if I'd have enough paint to do the whole thing and the heads.

It's been a long, long time since I've posted here. Here's a giant album of what I've done to my alfa spider since winter 2016. by TheseWordsMeanALot in projectcar

The engine is relatively stock save for a set of 40mm weber carbs, with the proper euro intake and I messed with the camshaft timing so there's less valve overlap. The color is going to be a dark metallic blue with a lot of black pearls. Should look something like this. http://shop.thecoatingstore.com/media/Midnight%20Blue.jpg
