Mini's 91 RS Build

Lol this thread is great!

Glad to hear you’re feelin a little better!

I bet you’re itchin to get out on the track again!

so…I can’t make the event next saturday :frowning: not enough insturctors for little ol mini…:frowning: tear

WEAK! I can teach ya a couple things if you want… lol! I wish! I bet you could teach me some things.

GOOD NEWS! The director of NASA was nice enough and went out of his way to find an extra instructor for me last minute. Which means I’m racing at the track this Saturday. Thanks DAVE!!!

Have fun out there!

:rockon: have fun, one day I might make it out there:up:

i do believe some pics are in order.

I know I know!..I gotta wait to get the pics. I actually have better pictures than last time so yay? haha
But I gotta wait to come pick them up which maybe today? Would be nice. Either way I"ll post up asap. Good and bad news:

Bad: I’m still in HPDE1 which doesn’t bother me much because its my second time on the track and they were both different tracks. Maybe if I’m lucky at my next event in July I’ll move up to the next level. But we’ll see.

Good: Instuctor said my heel toe is perfect. Acutally best out all the students hes had so that made my hopes go up a little :D. I guess practice works.

Anywho, I wasted 2 of my tires out at the track so it’s sitting until the new ones come in which is this Friday. That was money for my turbo piping but… I GUESS tires are more important lol. So I gotta wait a little longer for that. Thats all the updates I have :smiley: Ill have pics posted up as soon as I get them.

so where’s this dyno graph?? give me some motivation here mini!

^^ Mr. Bob. I didn’t get one printed out cause I was dissapointed and didn’t want something in my face to rub it in. lol. But if you would like me to I can ask Nick to print it out for me. I think it made like 155/125. something like that I can’t remember. But I think thats it.

For those who haven’t heard about my incident yesterday :(. My ball joint broke while I was driving. Scared the living hell out of me. But luckily I was only going 35 and not 75 on the track a few days before. At first I was pretty down but I’m just thankful now that it happened at a good time and not when I was on the track. Thanks grandpa for looking over me Love you!!!

I already got the lower ball joint and ordered a new axel. But figured while its down might as well replace the other side. So this doesnt happen again. So I gotta go back and order those. My axel comes in toady just waiting for the call to come pick it up.

Heres the damage…[I literally tried really hard not to cry lol. my honey…:(]

Still haven’t picked up the track pics yet. :frowning:

Ouch! Glad to hear you’re alright though. I think you mean lower ball joint though :slight_smile:

Yes! lol my brain isn’t thinking right. but fixed it thanks 50cent :smiley: its a shame…mini is still alive. puahha

holy crap. lucky you didnt hit anyone! Must’ve been pretty freaky.

The same thing happend to me about 3 months ago. I had just gotten off the toll road going 80mph and luckly it broke when i was in the neighborhood when I was going 35mph. Its pretty scary

poor teggy :frowning:
glad ur ok!

its still looking great =]

Yea I know…or vise versa. Thank god. I think it happened at a good time in the case of the car still moving except that it stopped on oncoming traffic lol. It was really scary. I was all by myself too. But some guys decided to stop by and give me comfort and called the cops before I got to it. :smiley:

Oh man…yea could you imagine if that happened on the highway. It so scary when you think about it and how lucky you got for it to happen at the speed you were going.

[QUOTE=teggyguy;2153582]poor teggy :frowning:
glad ur ok![/QUOTE]

Thanks hun! I know…poor teggy. It is all fixed now though. I scotty replaced the otherside for me to so it doesn’t happen again. the lower ball joints on both sides and a new axel on the driver side cause it snapped. But I’m perfectly fine :smiley: Oh and you know what the annoying thing was? After this all happened I logged onto my myspace the next day and this guy left me a comment saying he saw me stranded with a cop yesterday are you okay. ugh he saw me and didnt even stop by. rude troy rude!!

Awww thanks! Gives me some hope. I keep looking at my fender now and it looks like trash. :(. car looks ugly now.

and still no track pics, this threads making me sad:(

wtb mini-racing-on-high-plains-pics!!

I know I know. I’ll post up a pic I took with my phone which is poop but its better than nothing I guess. Sorry guys. I just haven’t had the chance to go pick up the cd. Its far and in middle of nowhere land and I don’t take my car out to that dirt road so I gotta wait until I can go in the civic to run out there. Hopefully I can soon though. I have class till late tomorrow so probably not tomorrow. But I did take a picture of the ball joint that broke! ugh pos…its a pic for now. I’m stalling lol. And yes that is g2ic in the background haha.
