A guy I know from Solo 1, Richard Patterson, is entering the Targa Newfoundland this year in a Mini of very impressive specification, you guys would love it!
I went over to look at it in his garage last night in Newmarket. It is based on an early sliding windows shell, and uses 10 inch Minilites with A008 tyres. The 1275 block has an Arden 8 port aluminium head with Jenvey throttle bodies and some sort of management system. They use 2 tanks (Cooper S style) one with premium, the other race gas, and plug in a laptop to a port below the dash to change the algoriths for timing and fuel injection to suit, ie on transits use pump gas, on stages race gas.
There are 2 brake master cylinders on a bracket by the engine block with a bias bar behind. Looking inside I saw a massive gear lever for the Jack Knight box, apparently a new 6 speed I had never heard of!
When I was there the rear sub frame was being removed to allow for the installation of the rear diff. REAR DIFF!! This will be from a Subaru Justy, with some form of beam axle or de Dion.
Weirdly, all this has not made the car look like a Frankenstein, 150 bhp, and it looks like Granny's 850!
