Hi ,car looks awesome ,can you tell how much roughly you shortened the rear beam to make it fit and who shortened your drive shafts or were they bought?
I'm currently building a talbot sunbeam cossy powered ?!
Thanx Lucan

thats crazy!
you got any footage of it in action?

scarnny

Hi lucan, the width of the beam is determined by the width of the car and by how wide you want you rear track, as long as the middle of the beam is set in the middle of the car then just trim the ends off the beam on either side, a sunbeam is wider than a mini so you'd need less to trim off if you get what I mean. As for drive shafts they were made bespoke and are thicker and stronger then standard set.
Good luck with the car mate.

Got some youtube clips, just put in the search, mini rs cosworth.

love this car, get it to national day on the 22nd

scarnny

Don't know about national day but I am trying to get it sorted for a mini show at santa pod on august 12th, can't wait to see what it will do up the strip with the slicks.

scarnny

Hi all just a little update, I've had a little leak on the petrol tank where the pump carrier bolts on, I was never happy with it and decided to get it sorted while the weathers been crap. Had pro alloy make a new one up and as you can see it looks a hole lot better than the old one, also had a pipe moved on my header tank as it fouled the brace bar.
Great work by pro alloy can't fault the boys.





Will get a pic with it all fitted up when its done.i

scarnny

Its all fitted up now and seems to have done the job, I just need to fill the tank right up now and check it doesn't leak.

cossymax

What a cracking looking mini, and fair play to you with all your hard work. One of my favorite cars RWD with a YBT AWESOME........

scarnny

Hi all, I've got a drag event this weekend at santapod so decided to try a couple of yoko A048s on the back to give a little extra grip, I've heard these are good in the dry conditions but not so good in the wet let's hope its dry then.

Any feed back on these being used as a drag tyre would be helpful if people have used them.



Cheers andy..

scarnny

Well I finaly got it up the strip I done about 15 runs best was 13.1. At 110mph And my worst was 17 when I crunched third gear and felt a right muppet.
It was really hot and my best time came when I left the car to cool right down later in the afternoon. I had trouble getting it off the line it was bogging down so there is room for improvment,
Best 60ft time was 2.1 so need to practice a bit on my launch, first time at the pod so I know what I've got to do next time

Heres a vid of one run, 13.6 I forgot to do a burn out so it just spins off the line.

COCHYN

Awesome car, gets better

stevieturbo

Getting the 60fts down to 1.5 or 1.6 should see an easy low 12sec run. Although with 110mph terminal which is fairly decent too, you should be able to run low 12's with a less aggressive launch. 1.7's 60fts should be very easy to achieve. At least they are with a heavy 4wd car, so should be in a lighter one. Lighter car will be a lot easier on the drivetrain too.

Just takes some commitment to make a hard launch. The car looks really well on the strip. It was some 18 years ago I had my black Mini at Santa Pod !
Now it's a rusty pile of shit lol

scarnny

Yeah I wasn't really giving it everything off the line I was worried I might leave the diff on the line and not be able to get home.
Car was fautless all day though so I'm happy.

Slik Johnson

Nice video dude. Definately more needed

scarnny

Can't find anymore vids but I have found some action shots from the day.

Sorry about the writting.

Have you recently fitted the window tint's?

SMILER258

Awesome car, saw this in this months mini mag. I just bnought a couple of austin minis recently. Picking them up monday. Sadly not gonna be as mental as yours though

scarnny

Cheers mate, what's your plans for the minis?

Honda and vauxhall conversions are pretty easy now as most parts can be bought off the shelf.

Looks cool in the pics.

SMILER258

One is gonna be a rally car, and it's gonna be a highly tuned a series, over bore etc. The other is a limited edition so i'm gonna restore it to standard. i have a fancy and expensive flipfront but decided against it. And i decided against a vtec as i cant even drive yet lol, so gonna keep it cheaper

bigpower

LOVE IT!!!

Well done pal with all the hard graft!

scarnny

Hi folks now crimbo is over I will be cracking on with the upgrades for the mini, one of those is to beef up the old diff, its a 7" lsd standard 3.62.
Im going to fit a 3.38 crown wheel and pinion to bring the gearing roughly to the same as a standard sierra, my little 13" wheels are the cause of first gear being unusable.
I'm going to get the planet gears crown and pinion all shot peened to add a little strength, that just leaves the viscous which I will get beefed up.
That's the plan anyway.

Regards andy...

scarnny

Does anyone know the best place to buy 3.38 crown wheels from? And to do a bit of work on my diff,

scarnny

I got myself a 3.38 diff which isnt lsd and the output shafts are the push in type.





The plan is to use the crown wheel and pinion out of it and put it in mine which is lsd.
I might even get them shot peened to add a little extra strengh also an uprated viscous.

Regards andy...
