We will be putting a Mini vid on soon we promise 😂 Apologies it’s been a while!

If you are looking at it from the bottom it is clockwise to remove it, as if you are tightening it!

Yeah absolutely, probably why it took a us a few attempts! But at least it come off in the end with the M12, shows how good it is for a small gun really!

Could mapp gas melt the control arm if you leave it on too long. I used mapp , but no cold shock.. M18 impact , and the 4prong sockets pretty much demolished the ball joint holes... One last try I guess 😅😅 just don't wanna overheat it.. only gave it about 2 or 3 mins heat , about 2 or 3 separate times. Not 10 mins 😂

😂😂 So many yeah’s.. And that’s with some cut out 🙃🤣

Cheers Anthony! Getting there slowly!

In our opinion, performance wise, they are just as good as power flex and have held up absolutely perfectly on our track car, the quality aspect is more the aesthetics, for instance it has rough edges which when we asked the bloke that owns the company he said it is because they don’t get them finished and sanded in order to keep the cost down but it doesn’t affect the performance of the product. The only thing limiting godflex was the range of products but we’re not sure if that’s till the case or not. When it comes to saving £200 like it did on the Mini they’re definitely worth it. Hope that helps bud!

Yeah, we’ve all daily driven them in the past! It depends what you need. I struggled with space, but I did have a new born at the time 😅 Fuel economy is not too bad when you aren’t thrashing it everywhere, and I found that they are fairly reliable if servicing etc is kept on top of. Most of all you’ll enjoy every moment & every drive you take!

😂😂 If there was an award for the shortest temper, Joel would definitely be a top nominee 😂

😂😂😂

Glad you enjoy it! We are currently just juggling a few things at the same time so aren’t uploading as much as we’d like, but we’ll be back to it properly as soon as we can! .. Go for it mate, you won’t regret it! Ours will be back out and on the channel soon! 👊🏻

@@BPMDevelopments I do have one question about the Mini…..I’ve never actually sat in a Cooper S, so I’m just wondering what it’s like for space inside with a bucket seat and cage. Not sure how big you guys are but I’m 6’4 and just need to know if I’d manage to fit in it…..bit of a random question for you guys I know

It’s not too bad, the tallest of us is 5ft10 so a little shorter and obviously we haven’t got a cage, but we have plenty of room to take the seat back, and with it being a bucket seat and less bulky than the standard seat, it goes back further! So I think you should be okay!

Yeah, great vans.. just getting a bit older now, but with a bit of work it’ll be a gooden!

Haha, cheers. And we would be lying if we said it hadn’t crossed our minds 😂

Yeah we couldn’t find but info on UA-cam about them so we thought we’d make a quick video, at least the basics are covered!

You can tell your the type of bloke that measures his lube out before slotting it up his cockatiel.

@@BPMDevelopments 100% I use the right amount too much and the whole dildo goes in

Top man 😂

Cheers mate appreciate it!

You can find it on eBay, if you search Renault Ball Joint Removal tool, it’s the one with the 4 prongs as seen in the video. They are all the same. Hope that helps! 😊

Haha, they were freshly fitted/ balanced before the track day, but it certainly felt like they weren’t round then on the brake’s 😅

I’m sure I saw someone selling them on the Facebook group R53 Owners Club, failing that maybe Mod a Mini or Orrange!

Nice!! Definitely one of the best cars a Mini for the driving experience! We love ours, just need to get out in it more!

Yeah your right, but just can’t beat that noise! 😍

Hi Tom, cheers mate glad you’re enjoying! They’re a great little motor! Budget dependant obviously, we would suggest decent tyres, brakes even the R56 ones are an improvement, anti roll bars are supposed to be the best upgrade you can do to transform the handling but we haven’t done it, don’t cheap out on the coil overs as the budget Raceland’s we bought have reached their limits already really 😂. Hope you have fun with it! There should of been a Mini only track day at Cadwell park on 1st June that we were going to be filming but it’s been cancelled now 😭

@@BPMDevelopments will be on a budget as I have treated myself to a second car so just something for weekends and fun! But will definitely keep watching your videos and learning! That’s a shame! Will keep my eye out for another one like that 👌

Just with the ratchet spanner buddy

Thanks for the feedback! Yes we will definitely get a foot cam and some more camera angles for our next track day video! Cheers 😊

@@BPMDevelopments Great, thank you very much man! :D As suggestion, for your driving videos, instead of having a "picture-in-picture" view with several angles at same time, you can make an edit with cuts simultaneously between the angles to have one angle on full screen in every moment.

Thanks, we will try and implement this way more in the future! Cheers for the suggestions!

Just a cheap one that you get off a tripod that we nut and bolted to the metal plate we made to cover the radio hole mate

No mate still rocking the standard diff, looking at the “LSD” one off a chilli pack in the future or maybe something a bit spicier 🌶️

Cheers mate! Good choice of car! 😉

Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed! You have won our furthest away watcher award! 😉😂

Thanks Martin! We appreciate the feedback and glad you liked it!

Hi John! 🤝

We’ve had absolutely no problems at all with intake temps and we’ve been hammering it constantly all day on track! The only thing is we’re not sure how it will fair when we do a cam and other engine mods, we may well change then! But we’ll see!

@@BPMDevelopments I have cam, injectors etc dynode 248 bhp I have gone back to stock intercooler I hate the fitment on the airtek I’m sure I will get some heat soak! Main thing i noticed it your oil temp will be insane without a oil cooler!

@@Jonathan-qz9kd We are far off them power figures currently! 😂 We’ve read online that the stock intercooler isn’t actually any worse than most aftermarket but never actually tried anything, apparently the JCW/GP1 one is the best option but getting up towards £1k for second hand 😂 Yeah the oil light came on for some reason, may well be the oil was too hot and starting to get funky, will be something we are looking into soon!

@@BPMDevelopments that or you cooked the sensor they do fail on the oil filter housing. I run a front mount oil cooler you can make your own up with kits off eBay if your handy!

Thanks Lee! Are you heading down on the Mini weekend there? Hopefully see you there! Cheers mate!

I'm building a r56 track car cadwell is my local track aswell

No mate we’ve got the R56 trail arms on and ebay special adjustable arms

Yeah we had to, was quite unnerving! We’ve cut a hole through the arch liner and removed the fog lights for abit of make do cooling but definitely want to do a spot of ducting in the future. To be fair we’re not sure if it’s road braking or maybe karting braking, we’ve all raced karts for 20 years so maybe the stamp on turn in approach isn’t helping, obviously a lot more weight to contend with than karts! We are looking to get an OBD reader for some more detailed telemetry! We were willing to give anything a try at that point! Thanks Steve, glad you enjoyed it! We wanted to see the difference in handling mods before we go adding more power, it will be interesting to see what combined power and handling will achieve! To be fair Castle Combe is only about 100 miles away so not to much of a journey!

Hi bud, we have seen something online and it looks really cool! We have a convertible sat in the unit at the minute don’t go giving us ideas 😂😂

@@BPMDevelopments chop on son ☝️✨️

They will make your car feel harsher on the road for sure but only as any polybush would! We have always polybushed street cars we have modified in the past with not too much discomfort! But as a cheaper end polybush, we have no complaints, we haven’t used them on the road but they hold up on track great and would recommended Godflex to anyone!

@@BPMDevelopments thanks for the quick reply! I have no experience with poly bushings on a car so this will be a first :) discomforting ride in a R53 is not really a problem haha using this car as grocery getter and weekend tourer for spirited driving. Will have a look to install these instead of Powerflex. Thanks again

Well I wasn't far away with my guess of 2.10 an no cheating I promise. From the look of the car, even as its set up now I think one if not all of you could break the 2.08 mark easily with a few more laps under your belts. It's a shame you had the brake judder, I hope you manage to get that sorted soon. Confidence in the brakes will 100% boost your lap times. I think I'd still further increase the ride height at least another 10mm to stop that scraping. The dynamic between you is good too see, I wish I had some buddies like you three to help with my car. Anyway great video as usual, can't wait for the next installment.

You were very close! 😂 Was a cold day and obviously the brakes were playing up, I think on a warmer day and no judder easily a low 2.08 high 2.07 in it! To be fair the scraping had stopped when there was one of us in the car just meant we can’t take a passenger, think some new coilovers will stop that though, as we are ending up like a monster truck 😂 Being best mates for 20 years with the same interests always helps! Appreciate the support and feedback mate! Glad you enjoyed 👍🏻

Wheel spacers may help too. Even if you replace the coilovers the ride height is still going to be a problem unless you have really stiff springs. Stiff springs will affect the grip level and cause the car to bounce an lose traction if you’re not careful. I’d play with ride heights first before you spend on more suspension. I know you don’t want it to look like a monster truck, like yourselves I prefer the lowered look but this is a track car and traction a ride are more important in my opinion. It really shows that you’re all good friends and have been for a long time. Keep up whatever you’re all doing, it just works.

Make sure you don’t tire Joe out to much this week 😉😂

Thanks Gav! We use a app called Race Chrono, it’s available on iOS and Android!

Cheers Brendan! Glad you enjoyed 👍🏻

😂😂 We’ll race ya 😉

Cheers Ady 😂 We got abit excitable 😂
