Cool pic - Cooper being pushed hard
Discussion
cooperman said:Miniman's?! is that right. That is impressive - I wish I had the time to do and engine out on other half. Have the twin 1.75's running ok now but Vmax still dicking about with some old Bristol he has taken on - rollers next week I hope. That is quiet. Would luv a CR box on other halfs 3.44 is great but intermediates too far about on std box.
It's got about 115 bhp on twin 1.5 H$ SU's with a 286 cam and 11.1:1 comp ratio. Karl Schmidt pistons at +0.040" (that's 1310 cc). Transmission is by s/c c/r box with s/c transfer gears and a cross pin diff at 3.9:1 ratio.
Brakes are 7.5" with carbon-metallic pads and the weight with 50% fuel is about 715 kg. A 1.75" bore exhaust from the big-bore lcb leads to a twin box RC40 centre-exit exhaust system giving 95 db at 5000 rpm at 0.5 m/45 deg from exhaust outlet (very important figure as 98 db is the max permitted under MSA regs).
For a full and very complete spec you can go to Miniman's web site as he posted it some time ago and did an article about the car.
Thank's for your interest.
