e91 330d/type r mini
took the mini for its first outing at oulton park yesterday for a shakedown test.
it highlighted some pretty big issues like rear tyres scraping on the metal arches and causing the rear end to drag round and make the rear snap out and making me spin. also when engine had got hot after a few laps i couldnt select gears properly then causing me to miss my braking points.
and my brakes were sticking when i had the bias valve set to far forward and then whn i tried to stop that it was locking the rears first which also caught me out.
it was my first time at oulton and was in a completely fresh built car with problems so dont expect miracles in my driving lol.
look out for the 2 spins
i managed to bring her home in one piece somehow but now now have alot of work to get how i want it.
couple of drive by's first
