@ Vinay ...I haven't really tested the braking at high speed yet, as I only just overhauled the front suspension last week again since the initial build. some of the rubbers were damaged when I strapped the car down to the trailer.

More updates on the build....
Rear Suspension assembled

Sad News guys....My dad has passed on over the weekend and I wont be able to put any hours into the mini for about a month as I need to shift my attention to family.

I wont be able to attend CITP this year as I will be in KZN over that weekend for my dads memorial ceremony.
