so I have to log on to another forum just to see it?! class


Mr Whippy - 10/11/08 at 01:54 PM

still can't see it but assuming it's one of these...linky

Aye posting up some specs and pics would no doubt help to generate some interest.

All I got from looking at the link was that you have a R1 mini for sale but then I knew that from your post anyway!

No it's not one of those. It is the red and white Cooper shown in the video on the Z cars 'Mini' page. This time was done only running 3/4 throttle as the linkage ratio was incorrect. Car is much faster now and also a lot lighter

Car is also featured on Ultimate Mini DVD. This was the first outing of any kind. The car was a whole 2 secs faster than any other mini apart from the Z cars hayabusa that did 0-60 in 2.8secs. It is now properly setup by Pitstop (miglia racers) and about 50kg lighter (460Kg). It will do 1/4 mile in low 12sec bracket.

The car has been continually developed over the last few years but I havent taken any recent pics, i only have pics of the build really. I keep meaning to take the car off the trailer in my garage and take some pics but I never seem to get the time and now I am in the midst of moving house and getting divorced! Will see what I can do this weekend if it isn't peeing it down!!

Cheers
Dale

Did any of the various links show the price? Fairly important piece of info, that and pics.

The price is 9k for quick sale as I move house in 3-4 weeks.

Zcars valued the car back in the summer at 12k but since they last saw it had £3-4k spent on new tubular front end in 2mm CDS, Simpsons built exhaust system, KAD bias pedal box, R500 Magnesium split rims, Michelin slicks, full suspension setup etc.

Is it too expensive for this forum?

Probably, this is the Locost forum after all. Have you tried Pistonheads? Lots of rich people over there

I wouldn't say it was too expensive but if you cannot see what it looks like people won't be interested.

You should really post some pics

And no passenger seat! What's the point if you can't amaze your friends?

On my way...


R1minimagic - 9/5/09 at 12:11 PM

passenger seat included and all fixings, was only taken out for lightness last time i was drag racing.


R1minimagic - 15/5/09 at 08:08 PM

Not long to go...

Erm... does www.locostbuilders.co.uk give you a clue?

How do you come to 9k? I built a full race track mini before finding this site, and although minis are going up in price, youll always find that you wont get your money back on your development time or full costs for the build.

Nice quality build, but im not sure i would pay 9k for something that you cant even drive on the road (no wipers etc).
