hmm i'm a bit sus on that cage

it doesn't look like it will do much besides act like a harness bar, its only bolted by 1 bolt at each corner...

nice work on getting a magazine feature

It's referred to as a Clubsport cage so it essentially bolts into the standard seatbolt points. I wanted it more to mount the harnesses onto and I didn't want to have to modify the chassis at all. The chances of me actually rolling the car anyway are very slim.

Thanks for the comments though! My next little jobs are to look into uprated brakes that fit nicely behind the BBS and colour code the seat backs in blue.

Couple of little updates.

First off was to get the front windows tinted to match the factory rear tints. I didn't want anything too crazy. Just enough to finish to upper section of the car in black so it all blended a little better.

Also found a new number plate for it. Bit cheesey but I like it!


And as I don't have any track days planned and my rear tyres were scrubbing a little I added a bit more camber on the back. The fronts had more than the rear to make it better on track. I have also just ordered some new outer dishes for the wheels. Decided to go for a stainless steel dish and take them out half an inch just to fill the arches a bit better.

Not a lot to update on the Mini really. Got a few plans for winter. I swapped my BBS over to my cheap TSW's but just out of interest I thought I'd try one of my rear wheels on the front. I thought they would be a bit to wide, but to me it looks to fill the arches perfectly. I was going to strip them down and give them a refurb over winter. I think I'm just going to order 2.5" dishes for the rear to make them poke a bit as they are just flush at the moment.

Great looking ride
Didn't clue in straight away that you converted 2pc wheels to 3pc! Oh my goodness dude... amazing work.
Wish I had the stones to try that with my RSII 023/024's....

Wrap looks great. I wouldn't have the patience.
