Building A series engine for my mini

[herulach]

3.56 final drive ratio, on 10" wheels, i can get the gearing of the box if you want?

No, just curious as to what kind of top speed youll be looking at. Ive always fancied building up one of these for a spitfire, but unfortunately havent got the space to properly do it, and doing it half assed isnt really an option.

Nooooo, don't get the 10" wheels, keep your 12s

I always thought the tens where a bit small, although i bet tires are expensive for the twelves. Im sure i remember seeing one with 12x12s on the rear, but i might have made it up.

top speed, 100 might be pushing it. but above 100 and bits start wobbling / falling off on a mini

Tuned 998's are great fun, mine would happily rev to 7.5k, and that was just st1 & a 12g206 cooper head, yours should fly - that's a seriously wicked spec mate and it looks sweet

Were those std 998 con-rods?

I just built a 1293 (from a morspeed kit funnily enough), you don't appreciate what a difficult job it is til you start, heh. The only bad thing I found with the mspd block is the paint comes off quite easily, might just be me though & all the important stuff like clearances were perfect.

They were standard, there now lightened

Looks like a real nice build. I really miss my mini *sob*
