Car Forum / MINI / January 2006Minivan Racer
Sometime last year, some one posted a link to a site with a blue Honda powered minivan, in some kind of saloon car race, does anyone have the link Thanks Fitzy Hi Fitzy I asked my friend Richard King (VTec Mini Clubman) if he knew any links and he sent the following :- <<Probably RingMini's 4WD MiniVan - there's a long video of him doing a lap of the Nurbergring at his site, www.ringmini.de ! This is where his videos are - http://www.ringmini.de/English_Version/-Videos-/-videos-.html - there's also one of his MENTAL GSXR1000 bike engine powered go-kart - well worth a watch !!! >> Not sure if its what you are after? Peter Thanks Pedro, That's the site I was looking for, I'm having trouble finding the video of the van chasing 3 series BMWs and Astra GTEs ??

Some fantastic work there though ! Aren't the German regs much more strict? Why won't it go through an MOT? I wonder how he works the hand brake. It is possible to fit rear drums to front drums by adapting them. That is how you make a trike using an a-series engine and still have a hand brake. He has also bolted the track rod ends straight to the frame using a short bar. I was thinking of fixing a piece the length of the steering rack in place. That is a much better idea! My shell has had more panels replaced than that has! Admittedly they weren't just another car grafted on like that! I have replaced 2500 quids worth of panels on my pickup!

Infact http://www.ringmini.de/pux39g.jpg may be just that frame !! As for the handbrake I would think that would be the usual Civic setup Wish I had the workshop space, infact I wish I had a workshop or a garage even !! Jim |
