Really like that video, anymore?

around 7kgs iirc

Rear end happy is good, unless its on the brakes like mine currently does. I was told by a very clever chap who sets up race cars that the best place for the battery is under the passenger seat. Balances out the weight of the driver a little

Gearbox mount? (under the battery one)

Depending on why you want to relocate the battery, you can lie it down in the stock position if its for induction kit etc. Saves messing about with junction boxes

Heres one for £100, redtops seam to be slightly more expansive than the odyssey ones (Exact same spec stuff) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Odyssey-extreme-25- Merlin motorsport do them for about that price I paid about £75 for mine tho, its not labled a 'extreme racing' but its the same thing just...

^? I think you have misunderstood, the op wants to know how to turn off the light as he has NO airbags at all

Yea ive left mine for a week no probs, only doing short journeys atm too. Like I say an optimiser would look after it nicely, they aint cheap batteries so i want mine to last as long as possible by keeping it topped up. Will be getting a power cable fitted in my shed this week so i can hook it...

Re: someph-ing different........... Look out, low bridge!

Ive used a BMW battery junction if you look through my thread. As you say 0wg wire is what you need for having the battery in the boot. Alternatively you maybe able to use some kind of junction box like the in car entertainment stuff uses (Amp fuse box type thing) Redtop/non spillable...

Sounds a bit pikey to me and pub talk/urban myth. How would the valve get bent in the first place? if it was bent it wouldnt run in the guide, it would get stuck

Was a good guess from my arm chair tho. Seen burnt valves on them before. (Sounds like what he ment)

Coil pack would prob cure the misfire

FLOL, it had no carpets I'll have you know

Ah well. i'll just have to get slicks for track days then, never mind

Yea he made it at work

Loom looks super neat mate, great work. Glad its making some good progress

Not bad for an ol burner, was tempted by one of these myself a while back. the dash is so basic, lets it down

Didnt the mini use a SC before and the new ones are Turbo?

I cut the whole loom out from airbag unit to the main loom and it turned the light off. Im not sure but i think if you bare back all the wires there maybe two wires joined together that could be it

Totaly aggree mate, needs to look neat no matter how stripped it is

They dont have bulbs, they are led's soldered directly to the circuit board. Take the clocks apart and either paint over the led or snap it off the board, easy

Dashboard looks like a token guesture on these. Most race cars have a very flimsy fibreglass/carbon lightweight replica of the original dash

yes yes yes but everyone is commenting how nice they look with just the rear bench out. Yea it aint really what the topic is about but I like it like that and if i had to do proper milage in one to work etc thats what id have. but I love mine stripped out

Re: someph-ing different........... Keeping your options open? could paint the car camo green and stick an oil drum on the rack

^ thats realy nice, very well done. Thats how id have mine if it was a daily (Shadowness take note)

4 pages and still waiting to see stripped ones ;) Whitley's is the only one in here

Oh THAT Mike Cross, Lol

Worst corner on the track in the Clio, very hard to get the power down, a little bumpy on the exit too. in 3rd you can get the power down easier as the engine willl be lower in the rev range and be less likely to spin up the wheels Who?

Nice smooth driving, track looks quiet. Me and Tony have been using 3rd gear for the tight corner onto the long straight, seamed to be easier to get the power down
