Mini Mania Open House and Lawn Party
by Jerry (Siddhartha) Bradbury
What can transform a peaceful sylvan lawn in Gold Country into a carnival overnight? The annual Mini Mania Open House and Lawn Party of course! Those who were there got to see first hand all the eye candy, but for those who were not, the Mini's ranged from an electric Moke to a VTEC powered Classic, to Randy Steven's tricked out CVT to Robert Holt’s Purple Haze convertible to three full on Mini race cars: my sprint car, Jacques Andres' enduro car and Eric and Colin Herricks's rally car, and many in between.

Race Report -USTCC

Infineon Raceway, April 11, 2008.
by Jerry (Siddhartha) Bradbury
My Mini has a new setup for this race. Speed parts from my sponsor Mini Mania have been added by my sponsor Bay Bridge Motors and USTCC sponsor Nitto has provided four brand new NT 01 tires. This will be my first official race with the US Touring Car Championship and I look forward to hitting the grid with more horsepower and quicker lap times.

MINI Clubman Review

Published: 21st April 2008
The new MINI was launched in 2001, to much acclaim. Although bigger than the original Mini, what it lacked in rear legroom, it made up for in unusual styling and a vast array of personalisation elements, much loved by a local estate agent.

The MINI Clubman has the same raft of options but its main benefit is the extra length, which should make rear passengers happier.

Which forum? I've read the fuel injection forum for 6 months or so - I didn't see the topic there. If that's the forum on turbominis I'll search again. Thanks.

It was discussed on Turbominis. Fact is, knocking up a manifold is the easy bit. Getting it to fuel correctly is the VERY hard part.

On ebay.co.uk, I saw this interesting MPI manifold, tapped for 4 fuel injectors, and fitted with a supercharger adapter plate.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEBTOX:IT&item=330230040954&_trksid=p3984.cTODAY.m238.lVI

I actually bid on it, but as the vendor indicated it was a prototype that had never actually seen service, I did not go above a certain price.

What do you think of this concept? Does it seem feasible? Could a auxiliary computer be used to drive the 2 additional injectors, fired at the same time the main injectors are fired? Not sure why the builder chose Ducati injectors. At any rate, it was an interesting piece - can a supercharger be fitted to the existing serpentine belt as is claimed?
