This can't be sed for the mini tho carbon fibre front end melted along with megajolt and the rest of the engine bay and dash

These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

Bummer.

Be VERY VERY careful when working with the burnt carbon fibre - it is horrendous stuff, and possibly worse than asbestos.
Wear a dusk mask as a minimum and disposable paper overalls if possible.

Metric is for people who can't do fractions.

Bummer about the fire. But from the looks of pics it's practically finished!

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