            Hi all. Some early pics to showing how the car evolved. Started as a road/sprint car. It is now Mini Miglia spec with a Swiftune engine and gearbox running MBE engine management. Currently weighs about 550 kg but getting lighter. Constantly trying to make it lighter and more powerful but running out of ideas (1460 or 7 port)?

                Do the regs let you fit a 16V head? Like the BMW K1? heads which are appearing.

                  KAD would be the way to go but unfortunately due to the regs not an option.

                    Looks like Bills going this route for next season Ken as a joint project with KAD so he will be out of class E.

                      they do but it would bump ken up a class so it would probably be a self defeating move

                          Hi Lee

                          We will miss Bill in the class but it may even things up a bit.

                            I think he is only dominante at Lydden Gerald has given him a good run if he had done a full season might of been different

                              polycarb screen would save some weight, as would binning the alternator, electric water pump would save a little power too
