Latest update on Jason's Mini Minus. Following the rolling road session and suspension setup last Saturday the car runs like a dream now and god is it quick. Car weighs 500kg dead. All seems good temperature is stable around 85 degrees, rises to 95 when flat out, still very good. Gearing wise so far Jason is getting 64 mph in first and about 87mph in second. |
