Turbo Mini Forums

This got a good reception in the introductions area so I thought I'd fling up a couple more pics of the latest progress!









Coming on well! onto the last A4 page of jobs before the IVA!

Awesome

Would have one of these tomorrow. How does the gear stick work, have you any photos?

Thanks

er it kind of goes under the bottom of the sump and then hooks into the hole in a bit of a "J" on is side

Bit of a low spot unfortunately

Can kind of see it here:

Just need my turbo and an LSD fitted

I built one of these a year back. Great fun, I really wish i'd not sold it now. There quick with just standard 1275. Just abit of advice, you might want to rose joint the back steering arms to reduce torque steer from the rear (quite scary). I'd also try to move a much weight to the front as possible. The front end is very light and understeers when accleerating through tight bends. Id consider the biggest heaviest battery you can fit up front. I was also planning moving the fuel tank up front for the same reason. Cooling can also be an issue aswel.

Just found some pictures

Cool! thanks for the reply! I only have a 998cc.

I just ordered some Minispares bottom arms so I can sort out the rear a bit.

Thanks for the advice - At the moment I'm aiming to get it through the IVA and haven't actually put a lot of practical thought into it.

Yours is really nice - no wonder you regret selling!

You might need adjustble bottom arms for the front aswell, Id also add rose jointed tiebars to the back.

i spy a turbo!

Excellent!

Where does one acquire such a kit from?

I'd love to be allowed to run one of those here in France ...

Rusty by nature

I was planning on taking it to france this year but I was really let down on a couple of parts and that's knocked back the time table too much! :(

Kean - I'm afraid private sale or ebay is your only likely option now, they are no longer made. try searching for "freestyle kit" or the similar "blitz 2"

They really look like fun. must resist looking on ebay. oh dear item no.220794465285

If your serious, I'd buy one that has been SVA'd or IVA'd already. Expensive PITA business!

Getting there now! :)

Had two successful test drives :)

Wow that looks fantastic.

Thanks Pete

Closer....




Through IVA now :)

I so want one of those!

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I was so pissed off with mine over the last few weekends you could have had it!

We are friends (well talking) again now

Dazed and Confused....

with the inspector in think it was 748kg so probably 625kg ish

Found a place called Blitzworld that seem to do a kit from new

The blitz is a similar kit to the freestyle - just not as pretty :p

I really want one!
