Thank you! Yer getting a lot of understeer but I'm about to upgrade the sway bar in a hope it will correct the issue, I want more oversteer definitely getting to much understeer at the moment

@@Kirkham66 yeah I've got the same, let us know how things go please. I've played with pressure with minimal difference.

🤙

Yer I didn't think about slipping out that's a good shout! I'll look into that cross! As long as I don't get my head chopped off haha, I'll defo look into thanks mate!

@@Kirkham66 good luck 🤞🏼 when are you going to the ring?

@rogantartaglia2105 thanks mate! Mid Aug got a few mods todo before I go!

@@Kirkham66 nice mate! I’m still putting my r53 together, should have it out on track at lydden hill at the end of August

@rogantartaglia2105 awsome! Let me know when you do ill try get on track with you 🤙

Yer it is a shame but I don't really want to spend out on bucket seats for one trip haha, although 11 hours of driving I got planned will be much better haha 😄

@@Kirkham66 well do a lap for me you lucky sod 👍👍👍

@500bht will do my friend 🫡 no one reads these comments so I'll give you an exclusive (I'm in talks with misha if you've heard of him 🤞 he said he will try his best to)

This was a mini club we all met up and went together 😁 great people 👍

It's a render I'm afraid 😁

Awsome! Just watched one of your vids and I'll watch the rest when I get a spare 5 mins! Honestly my first videos I hated being in front of the camera, now I walk around and couldn't give 2.... what people think! I'm just in the zone having fun! Buzzing for you bud keep it up!

@@Kirkham66 thank you! I’m still trying to get to grips with stuff, using iPhone and trying EarPods for audio, got a cheap (free on Vine 🤣) mic to try. Trying to get used to stitching everything together in iMovie etc. but I know if I wait til I’m better I’ll never release anything and never get over the “oh crap what will the neighbours think” feeling when recording.

@SavingMinis exactly that mate! Keep learning keep building confidence! All great fun 😁

Haha thanks! She got it from sportsbikeshop we use it on the motorbike 🤙

Yer an absolute blessing to be able to drive her home, apologies for the cam I was having to much fun in the moment to have checked the footage haha. That was my aggressive laps haha still learning 😅 still building my confidence with the car as came from a drifting background

Have you put the larger R56 rear calipers on to help balance it with the larger fronts. If not I recommend it but will need the R56 handbrake cable to match. Something to think about as your building the confidence as the back end can step out with the big boy front brakes.

@WalshEBoY no I'm running stock rear brakes with upgraded pads but certainly a great shout! I'll look into that, I wanted todo r56 arms anyway, appreciate the advice mate 👍

Yes I was loving every minute learning more and more as well, was good to meet you mate! 🤙

Yer better tyres, better suspension and some downforce is required, look forward to fitting your new engine haha

Last dyno was 188bhp but didn't realise manifold was broken so about 192 I'd assume, engine mods and traction are the next mods!

You have a number you're aiming or just want a reliable track car?

​@romaan843 reliability for now! After more seat time and better settings who knows haha, wbu? What you running?

​​@@Kirkham66 I have a stock Mini cooper s r53 2005 model black with beige interior. My plan is to do a17% pulley and bigger intercooler I'm not planning to track the mini just want that little bit more power.Would also like to fit a orranje rear wing.

​@romaan843 I definitely recommend the smaller pully, get that supercharger whineing but good on you! Awsome cars and yer I didn't want a large spoiler but now I need more grip haha

😅

Yer that's a good idea, but they were cheap enough second hand 😁

I didn't notice that, good spot! I'll look into that, many thanks!

@@Kirkham66 yeah, I think even if the disc centres, the disc will try to move, it needs the security of all 4 nuts. So good excuse to stick a new pair of wheel bearings on them the bigger bolt hubs and that disc should fit. The later JCW brakes I assume would be designed for the later bearings as they changed late in the life of the car

@Phillc748 appreciate the advice! I'll look into it 🤙

No sorry didnt make that clear, These are the alfa Romeo 159 calipers pretty much the same just a different brake line 😁

Yer deffo! Back to my roots haha

🤣

Can never be too clean 🤣

Awsome man! Yer my st2 is a bit more of the basic model however I did pick up a mk3 RS yesterday as i have really enjoyed the focus! so keep an eye out for that video 😁 but I agree great cars!

Sorry my thumbnails are a mix of ai images and manual editing, however they are similar to some on wheelbase website there called '356Wheels TFS3 Silver' hope that helps

Oh really! That's mad

Apologies not sure which bit you mean and tbh I bodge jobbed this a bit so I'm not the best to advise on this haha, hopefully there's a decent tutorial somewhere

Yer I enjoyed it being a slightly smaller event, well organised and thank you!

Thanks mate! Appreciate it and welcome 🤙

The ones connected to the oil cooler originally? Should be a u shape coolant pipe in your kit just jubilee clip it on and it flows back on its self, if your missing this then cut up one of the pipes you took off but use jubilee clips, hope that helps!

Oh really! Yer mines the st2 and i agree they are awsome! Maybe he will get another one, one day haha 😄

Thanks 🤙

Awesome! 🤙 and thank you

Just one of the base model spoilers, still cooper s, it's on the list to change tho haha

Awesome! Welcome aboard, thank you so much! 😁🤙

@@Kirkham66 your welcome buddy 🤓✌️🇲🇾

Thank you so much! May not seem much but definitely means a lot to me and our journey! 🤙

Woops thought they were fake haha, I also painted stupidly inside the lower light, dunno why I did that haha, I may have to redo it all

Lol leave them yellow they look good with the roll cage. The round chrome trim pops off the projector for painting just uploaded a shorts vid on my channel it kinda shows how I did it and how they light up 😅😮👍

That's awesome to know! And good on her welcome to the r53 club! Haha, I've just landed a small sponsorship that will hook me up with some adaptors to fit oem brembos from another car so hopefully that will be the next few videos, but I really did want the k sports but everyone just kept saying no, your the first to say there any good haha, but thanks for joining me on my journey and good luck with your daughters 🤙 great cars!

Yer that's my next issue to sort haha, thanks for the heads up! And appreciate it she's a beauty 🤙
