Hi mate, Just want to say great build and wanted to find what seat are they, they look amazing? Seats are Leather retrimmed Lotus Elise, with adjustable modified Elise runners (both drivers side, as passanger is fixed in the Elise) Seats are quite light at 7kg each, but runners are probibly 4kg each. Could be made alot lighter, but I'm not bothered about weight on this build. Class C 3rd Place Avon 2011 14.18 @101mph |

Looks lovely that. I was planning something similar, but I was going to try and lenghten the centre branch to make them all equal. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination, talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol On 20th Apr, 2012 Paul S said:
I'm mainly concerned about swirl in the runners caused by the tangential entry. |

I was planning something similar, but I was going to try and lenghten the centre branch to make them all equal. the design of this was originally how i wanted the high flow type to be, but the inlet manifold really limits the route the centre branch can take. these work out to be the same length (or close to) when you use the centre line as the length. the centre branch looks short but its longer than it looks...that what i tell the Mrs anyway! lol https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Took the car to ggmotorsport at Zcars last Friday for a full mapping session. This gives me a base figure to work from for the turbo upgrade.

I agree Joe! If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

If it could get a wide ratio straight cut box, then I'd maybe consider it. I'm trying to keep it quiet, and great for long motorway runs hence 2.95FD. I've always got my red mini for 15-20psi. This one is just so much nicer to drive. since turning 30 I really hate my straight drops and cabin noise. Knowing me, it will get a boost upgeade soon after completion anyway.

I have a SCCR Gearset and 3.1FD in the red one, 1st gear can be a pain around town & especially on hills etc (probably worse due to grey Pre Verto). My concern is the clubman weights about 200kg more. I suppose the clubman does have a higher CR, milder cam, heavy flywheel and a good point on 4th.

Small update on Matty manifold, well not so small really. Complete redesign due to my poor measures.
