Hey all,
Brand new to minis. Just bought this 2007 MCS to build up as an SCCA STX autocross car. But I thought I'd update you as this build progressed. Here's the car in virgin form. Don't get used to it looking like this.
Top 3/4. The red interior is great.
Gratuitous "sunday drive" shot. We have great twisties in San Diego.
And, the first of the new parts have arrived:
Neuspeed RSe05's, 17 x 7.5.
Waiting on this week:
Hotchkis H-Sport competition rear 25.5 hollow rear sway bar
Dunlop Direzza DZII 215-45-17. I went with the 45 vs. the 40 for a slightly taller 2nd gear, which will give a slightly higher top end in autocross. (and be a bit better with gas mileage too.)
Stay tuned.
