    Hi Matt
    Minis looking sweet. Keep the content coming, even if it's the boring stuff, things don't always go right, so making modifications to suit is good to watch.
    Big love to the Family.

    Best bet is your local hydraulics shop, take the oil cooler and hoses with you and get adapters/ replacement hose crimped up to suit 👍

    Good to see you out at the CTCRC! It's a shame the event wasn't live streamed. Nick out out one of the best drives I've seen in that second stint of Thunders!
    Also, love what you've done with that pinch to hold the droop In place.

    Mini has various wiper sweeps over the years I believe 110, 120, 130 degrees. You may be able to adjust your current 180 degree motor sweep down by adding an additional larger diameter gear or pully mechanism combined with a bit of your fabulous fabrication 👍🏻...

    Engine option: Honda/Accura 4 cylinder CVCT engine with a turbo chager. They fit nicely in a Cooper Mini. Lots of power. Very reliable.

    Keep it up man!! its awesome work, top class as usual. you have done some cool mods which i think all mini owners would benefit from, the droop stoppers are a cool idea, and love the shock tower mounts, they look like it pull the shock in tighter to the inner wing is that right?

    • @Urchfab
      @Urchfab  Рік тому +1

      Yes that’s the idea, it improves the arc of the shock travel. Cheers 🍻

    Hi Matt, your Spax dampers are upside down, Traxaspax are twin tube dampers. They will pump out the oil when mounted upside down as you are relying on the seal to keep it in and it's only realy there to keep the dirt out. Also, more importantly the base valving will be exposed to the air pocket and aerated oil. Only mono tube damper should be mounted upside down.
    Cool Mini build though and once you start racing you will never go back to track days....

    hi go talk to your local pirtek outlet to see if they can make the hoses you need , they may even send a van out to you to make them onsite , you never know they might consider a bit of sponsorship for some stickers on the car ????

    Matt i noticed you have not got the clutch connected when you do make sure to set the big nut's that is actualy a stop is set up right if not you can wear out the crank thrust washers.

    Matt, love your work and the vids. Just so you know, there is an annoying audio knocking noise on this one, think something perhaps the mic was loose.

  • @ferrumignis
    @ferrumignis Рік тому

    Looking lovely. If I understand it correctly, your adjuster to stop the suspension cone coming loose is basically a rebound limiter? Isn't the suspension arm going to smash the hell out of that in normal use when the suspension gets unloaded? A rebound limiter is usually involves a rubber part (i.e. like a small bump stop, or a rubber strap) to cushion things.

    Which wiper mech is that? I bought a cinq rear wiper as apparently thats what the migs use? it looks the same as yours, mines unfitted as yet, not got brave and attempted the bracketry.. If it is the correct one then maybe theres some mod they do to get the sweep right.?
