LOVE this dude's energy !! incredible how he turned his car around so quickly, it really did greatly improve. good luck with the B&B in france, and will have to give you a fist bump whenever i spot you at the ring!
He could join Mini French forums and meet other enthousiasts. I now an English friend who visited France with the mx5 of a mate just knowing him from a forum from 7 years.
By far one of the most enjoyable laps I've watched. The emotion, the pure enjoyment on your faces. Perfect. I'm inspired to finish my build now for sure.
I still think the R53 is the best Mini that BMW ever produced. It's got character, that supercharger whine, not too much technology and actually is mini, not maxi.
@@crc0889 in italy and uk there are the two best mechanic garage specialized in Mini, the Lohen and Gpgarage. If u do the right adjustment and manteinance is a brillant car.
Misha thankyou so much for making the dream of last year for me a reality and showing what the shitbox can do in the dry! Thanks to everyone who made it possible and thankyou to everyone in the comments showing love and appreciation for the facebook market place makeover. Seeing this video has made my day, month and year. Keep doing what you're doing for the car community and the Ring.
That scoop is increasing the pressure in the engine bay and therefore making the radiator less effective. If the pressure behind the radiator is greater than in front of the radiator, or the pressure behind the radiator increases at all, no or less air will travel through the radiator. The goal is to evacuate air from the engine bay through the hood in order to reduce nose lift and promote better cooling. Adding scoops is often counterintuitive and will lead to overheating. Manufacturers who design scoops do so with those concepts in mind to prevent overheating.
@@andyossie still won’t work that well. Ideally you want louvres so the air traveling over the hood creates a “vacuum” effect where it meets the air escaping from the hood vent. You want those streams to mix for maximum efficiency. You also want them to meet with laminar flow to reduce turbulence/drag.
@omg_stoppit -- When the bonnet is opened near the end of the video, it looks like the air intake is directly under the scoop and seals against it. I could be wrong, but that would mean it has nothing to do with high/low pressure through radiator.
@@sheldonaubut ah, didn’t see that part. However, given the design, if that’s the only channel for air to enter the intake, then it’ll work. If it’s a secondary hole for “additional cooling”, it effectively creates the same problem.
this is so great, the guys is having the time of his life and Misha is just driving him around with a big grin on his face another great vid again guys!
Nice car, he needs to do something with those IATs. From half lap onward the engine was struggling, look at the speed climbing Kesselchen, the PCM was pulling back big time.
That guys enthusiasm and honesty is unmatched. Wish him all the best for the move to France. Sidenote- it’s very concerning when people don’t understand which side of the road they should be letting traffic pass on especially when they drive on the same side daily. I’ve had it happen to me and it always seems to be the guys that should know better lol
Seems like nothing has moved forward since I was last in the Mini game 10+ years ago, surprised people still fitting 17% reduction pulleys and still hitting knock/intake temp limits like the brummies did back then because "want muh low down torque bocz bruised ego on the road". Great till about 90mph then flat after as the ECU pulls all the fun. If you are tracking it mostly, ported head, bigger valves, springs etc, more compression (high comp pistons) cams and adjustable gear and run an 11-13% reduced pulley max if you need it is the way to go. Mess around with overlap on the dyno until its where you want the power band (for me it was 4.5 to 7.8k). Dont mess around with meth injection, waste of time/money and dangerous on a car if you stack it and mapping for meth is a engine blow waiting to happen (the geezer I sold mine to fitted meth and a 17% and toasted the engine by mapping for meth and running out of it lol). Spend the money on a Link G4X instead, bin the oem ecu and get an oil temp sensor plumbed in (had one on my setup). Chassis is capable af and the car looks to handle nice so just focus on keeping the power you can make without high temps and spend your money in the driving seat (advice from 2010-2013) 😅
That was a proper thrashing... Whew. The front facing camera seemed a little more shaky than normal, but it made it visually more exciting. Those poor those tires were being asked for more than they can provide... they were howling around almost every corner, and I loved it every time. Excellent video!
Ive had the pleasure of knowing danny since i was about 13 through airsoft and im now 23 :) Back Then and even now Danny is hands down one of, if not the nicest and most kind hearted men ive ever had the luck of meeting and its truly a joy to see him on mishas channel living his best life, honestly amazing video and wishing ye the best in future my dude you deserve the world
Fair play if Misha was going through some stuff. He could have just put all this on hold for a bit, but didnt. Gotta say though, the owners energy kept this video from being another quiet/slightly awkward ride along like a few others from this time. Why so much tyre screech though? Am i just hearing it more on this build?
Loved the Lap! I usually dont like Bini laps but this one was a cracker :-) I'd LOVE to see a 60's Morris Mini Cooper or similar do a lap of The Ring, theres a lot of nice race and tracked prep units in Aus so im sure Europe has plenty!
84c intake temps? That's insane, surprised it didn't blow up! Water meth would definitely help get those down. Also, if the car has headlight washers then run the hose off them to the intercooler and run with the headlights on and it'll spray them, that's what I've done lol. But, water meth really is the way, or front mount. Anything to get below 50c
Yeah -17% isn't the ideal choice for track with a regular top mount setup and you'd want some bigger injectors aswell once opening up the tuning side. -13.2% is what I recommend for Airtec Top mount on track. For GP or GRS top mount on track, on track, -11.5%. Much higher average rpms achieved on track when compared to street eh and there's only so much air the scoop can let in and the engine bay let out
@@cllris the beauty with the headlamp washers is it runs off its own tank and also all the pipework is already in the bonnet so can literally unplug the light jets and run a line straight to the scoop and it's done. Also the pump seems pretty powerful so give a good couple of blasts. I've not had chance to fully test it yet but it definitely slowed temps down when in traffic. I have water meth and it's crazy to watch the iat's go down under acceleration than up. But water meth doesn't work great on the road as it needs time to clear out after use else can cause miss fires in my experience if used then back down to idle. I blew my mini up at Donnington Park with much lower iat's so am always looking for ways to keep it reliable
Youre right about the anti roll bar. Most fwd come way to stiff in front when it comes to anti roll. I wouldnt remove it personally but if you can get a lighter one and get adjustable links that will help so much adjustable links in rear too and this will be so dope.
Needs some hp mods biggest recommendation is a TV'S900 upgraded supercharger kit from harrop. Love it on mine. Akso buy the upgraded supercharger tensioner kit. You wouldn't need it though as your car is still very low on power. But a dominator cam from rmw and big valve head from rmw would be my next steps in acquiring some hp. Also get yourself a r53s front hood that hood is doing nothing bad but negative things for temps Your top mount is getting absolutely no air whatsoever.
For the IATs I would check the intake seal, because it should be ambient if it's sealed to the hood/bonnet duct well. It it's not, it'll suck right out any small crack and pull directly from the engine bay and gets hot and terrible quick; even with the big hole out front it still will pull from the tiny hole
Il be over later in the summer with my facelift r53 daily from ireland hopefully, grs motorsport intercooler, 550cc injectors and a catcam461 camshaft, 17% reduced s/c pulley, stainless exhuast, front control arms polybushed, 1320mini bytronic ecu tune, fresh clutch, chain, s/c serviced, mapped to 220bhp, has bilsteins b12 suspension kit fitted, new bushs all around, toyo proxys, and r56 mini rear trailing arms and will have r56 jcw front calipers fitted in time 😁 r53s are brilliant cars once a few mods are done to make them more realible
As someone from the uk, I CANNOT for the life of me work out his accent😂nice car though, not my first choice but I do appreciate a well done mini, who doesn’t?!
I asked in the last video, but Misha, do your cameras support 60fps video? If yes can we get some 60fps action out of the windscreen camera? It would be really fun watching it in buttery smooth high FPS.
Looked like great fun. One car I miss owning is my r53 Cooper s race chipped with a small supercharger pulley and oversize intercooler. 2 years running I took that car to the ring. 1st year as standard. 2nd year all done up. Only got rid because of kids and the boot would only hold 2 helmets and nothing else would fit

Great little Mini! Great lap Misha.🎉
The part where you played with minimal braking towards the end was the best. I play like this in Forza with FWD cars. Its so enjoyable 🤣🤣🤣🤣
4:20 Mishas head: hm this thing is pretty nice in the Corners.
A Klasse: heello theeere

Mini's are proper track weapons 👌
Wind noise sounds like paul walkers eclipse when he passed Doms RX7 🤣
RIP Paul walker..... And all that super fan nonsense!!
almost lost a plate of metal from the passenger floorboard. surely it was coming loose.

This tires are trash...

Those poor those tires were being asked for more than they can provide... they were howling around almost every corner, and I loved it every time. Excellent video!
big up to gareth and chris some of the most helpfull guys on the R53 group
That was joy to watch this lap! You can see that this man is a real enthusiast and enjoy this ride:)
I will never forget about the pads (9:16). Literally he could not speak! That was intense! 💪
I think Misha was grateful for him to shut up for 7 seconds.
Absolutely love this. Huge probs to the owner I loved his energy and what a machine! Really entertaining stuff guys
Sometimes, you just want the passenger to close their mouth and let Misha drive.

Mischa doesnt give a sh**, drive it like you stole it. Hell yeah
It’s better to have a softer bar up front and a stiffer bar in the back for grip and rotation.
Fair play if Misha was going through some stuff. He could have just put all this on hold for a bit, but didnt. Gotta say though, the owners energy kept this video from being another quiet/slightly awkward ride along like a few others from this time.
Why so much tyre screech though? Am i just hearing it more on this build?
Trying to break that little thing... But is almost impossible, the mini holds the hard treat like nothing.
Different sound too. Good lap anyways
Mini's are great bang for the buck, and with a few mods are awesome track cars - Sort of like Meganes!
I always find the interactions between Misha and the owners to be anxiety inducing half the time
Good vibes from the owner, seems like a nice dude 🤟
The guy can't be without talking for 30sg??
did misha even use the brakes in this tho? flat out the whole way thru lol
I like this setup but for my taste I'll go with a bit more power and torque ❤
You need an inclosed air box that will help keep temps down
Is this an older video? Or is it really 30C in Germany right now?
Yeah it's like a heatwave there at the minute. 😂
I bet a good percentage of drivers go over the next curb after that hop, nice recovery.
Wow that mini is fast. Well done to the owner. Great job!
Misha, thanks for sharing. Cheers!
4:24 that was Demuro enjoying his lovely A-Class 😂
YES YES YES. MINI again. I am a simple person. I see MINI I hit LIKE. Above all it's an R53. SWEET.
a very enthusiastic owner just like last time 👌🏻
misha looked a bit irritated. however great lap!
this thing understeer like a 3 tons car
Wonder if it's the tyres. They're not usually too understeery!
It holds pretty good. Didint look that bad.
Dam that was a rough ride Misha 😂
This guy build this back up solely for Misha and man did he enjoy that lap
sort of video that makes you want to sell your F56 and get an R53👏
